DOWNLOAD EBOOKAnalyzes literary and cultural representations of iconic Mexican women to explore how these reimaginings can undermine or perpetuate gender norms in contemporary Mexico. In Troubled Memories, Oswaldo Estrada traces the literary and cultural representations of several iconic Mexican women produced in the midst of neoliberalism, gender debates, and the widespread commodification of cultural memory. He examines recent fictionalizations of Malinche, Hernán Cortés’s indigenous translator during the Conquest of Mexico; Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, the famous Baroque intellectual of New Spain; Leona Vicario, a supporter of the Mexican War of Independence; the soldaderas of the Mexican Revolution; and Frida Kahlo, the tormented painter of the twentieth century. Long associated with gendered archetypes and symbols, these women have achieved mythical status in Mexican culture and continue to play a complex role in Mexican literature. Focusing on contemporary novels, plays, and chronicles in connection to films, television series, and corridos of the Mexican Revolution, Estrada interrogates how and why authors repeatedly recreate the lives of these historical women from contemporary perspectives, often generating hybrid narratives that fuse history, memory, and fiction. In so doing, he reveals the innovative and sometimes troublesome ways in which authors can challenge or perpetuate gendered conventions of writing women’s lives. Oswaldo Estrada is Professor of Latin American Literature at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the author of Ser mujer y estar presente: Disidencias de género en la literatura mexicana contemporánea and La imaginación novelesca: Bernal Díaz entre géneros y épocas.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWho is Bert Corona? Though not readily identified by most Americans, nor indeed by many Mexican Americans, Corona is a man of enormous political commitment whose activism has spanned much of this century. Now his voice can be heard by the wide audience it deserves. In this landmark publication—the first autobiography by a major figure in Chicano history—Bert Corona relates his life story. Corona was born in El Paso in 1918. Inspired by his parents' participation in the Mexican Revolution, he dedicated his life to fighting economic and social injustice. An early labor organizer among ethnic communities in southern California, Corona has agitated for labor and civil rights since the 1940s. His efforts continue today in campaigns to organize undocumented immigrants. This book evolved from a three-year oral history project between Bert Corona and historian Mario T. García. The result is a testimonio, a collaborative autobiography in which historical memories are preserved more through oral traditions than through written documents. Corona's story represents a collective memory of the Mexican-American community's struggle against discrimination and racism. His narration and García's analysis together provide a journey into the Mexican-American world. Bert Corona's reflections offer us an invaluable glimpse at the lifework of a major grass-roots American leader. His story is further enriched by biographical sketches of others whose names have been little recorded during six decades of American labor history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER THE FOURTH. CONCERNING POLITICS AND THE PEOPLE. In our northern houses the general requirement is gorgeousness, not to say giddiness, of exterior, with plenty of big plate-glass windows and no wall spaces whatever, together with a certain parvenu degree of comfort within, which, unfortunately, does not as yet seem compatible with true beauty, but the Mexican scorns all this and his first requisite seems to be not gorgeousness so much as an effect of picturesqueness without; this is certainly very kind of him, as it appeals much more to the wayfarer than to the S dweller within. Nearly all the poorer class habitations are in reality little more than one or two rectangular boxes of varying size, placed one against another. "Not so very picturesque a description," you say? Well! in a measure you are right, and yet the peons, for they never employ an architect for such buildings as these, of course, seem to have just that innate sense of what goes to make true beauty, that never errs: while one trained in such matters might waste days or weeks in straining after effects which they arrive at almost unconsciously. Why ! the meanest one of them will throw his zarape or shawllike blanket over his shoulder at just such an angle and proportion of length, and with such regard for color combination, as to render him irresistible to the artist. Mr. F. Hopkinson Smith has portrayed him so cleverly that it seems daring, indeed, to add one line, and yet I cannot resist introducing a sketch of one of my friends here. Perhaps he isn't handsome according to the canons which obtain with us, and yet this may be the fault of the drawing, added to the untranslatability of some of his most glowing characteristics, the humorous sparkle of his black...
