Book excerpt: Celebrated for the authenticity of its vernacular style and the incandescence of its lyricism, One Day of Life depicts a typical day in the life of a peasant family caught up in the terror and corruption of civil war in El Salvador. 5:30 A.M. in Chalate, a small rural town: Lupe, the grandmother of the Guardado family and the central figure of the novel, is up and about doing her chores. By 5:00 P.M. the plot of the novel has been resolved, with the Civil Guard's search for and interrogation of Lupe's young granddaughter, Adolfina. Told entirely from the perspective of the resilient women of the Guardado family, One Day of Life is not only a disturbing and inspiring evocation of the harsh realities of peasant life in El Salvador after fifty years of military exploitation; it is also a mercilessly accurate dramatization of the relationship of the peasants to both the state and the church. Translated from the Spanish by Bill Brow

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An excellent account and analysis of the Mexican Revolution, its background, its course, and its legacy . . . an important contribution [and] a must read!” (Samuel Farber, author of Cuba Since the Revolution of 1959). The most significant event in modern Mexican history, the Mexican Revolution of 1910-20 remains a subject of debate and controversy. Why did it happen? What makes it distinctive? Was it even a revolution at all? In The Mexican Revolution, Stuart Easterling offers a concise chronicle of events from the fall of the longstanding Díaz regime to Gen. Obregón’s ascent to the presidency. In a comprehensible style, aimed at students and general readers, Easterling sorts through the revolution’s many internal conflicts, and asks whether or not its leaders achieved their goals.

Download or read book 13 Colors of the Honduran Resistance written by Melissa Cardoza and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 13 Colors of the Honduran Resistance, feminist author and activist Melissa Cardoza tells 13 stories about women from the Honduran resistance in the aftermath of the June 28th, 2009 coup against President Manuel Zelaya. On that day, led by a U.S.-trained General, the Honduran military barged in to the president''s house and took him in his pajamas into a helicopter, flying him first to a U.S. base in Honduras and then on to Costa Rica. It was the first coup of the 21st century in Central America. The military and Honduran oligarchy quickly imposed an interim government, undid most of the progressive reforms underway, and passed hundreds of concessions to corporate interests. To the surprise of the coup''s backers, however, thousands of people around the country spontaneously came out into the streets. Their numbers and the depth of their vision and commitment kept growing during hundreds of days of consecutive protest, with fearless women at the forefront. Melissa calls those the times "when protests were poetry in the streets." 13 Colors of the Honduran Resistance is her most intimate and impactful work to date. It is a book about the multiple and intersectional identities of those who found each other in the streets through the resistance. It is a book about what they share, not just with each other but with all people who struggle for a more just world. Melissa weaves the stories of 13 women together in a way that leaves readers unfamiliar with the events surrounding the coup and resistance in Honduras convinced of their fundamental importance to liberation struggles everywhere. This bilingual edition is the product of collaboration with translator Matt Ginsberg-Jaeckle, who was introduced to the author by assassinated indigenous leader Berta C�ceres, to whom this edition is dedicated. ----En 13 Colores de la Resistencia Hondure�a, la luchadora feminista y autora Melissa Cardoza cuenta 13 historias de mujeres de la resistencia hondure�a despu�s del golpe de Estado del 28 de julio de 2009 en contra del Presidente Manuel Zelaya. Ese d�a, los militares hondure�os allanaron la casa del Presidente y lo llevaron en pijamas a un helic�ptero, pasando primero por una base militar de EE.UU. en Honduras y luego a Costa Rica. Dirigidos por el General Hondure�o Romeo V�squez Vel�squez, entrenado en la Escuela de las Am�ricas en EE.UU., llevaron a cabo el primer golpe de Estado del siglo veintiuno en Centroam�rica. Los militares y la oligarqu�a hondure�a r�pidamente impusieron un gobierno interino, deshicieron la mayor parte de las reformas progresivas que hab�an empezado y aprobaron cientos de concesiones para las empresas privadas. Pero los golpistas fueron sorprendidos cuando miles de personas en todo el pa�s salieron espont�neamente a las calles. El n�mero de gente, as� como la profundidad de su visi�n y compromiso durante cientos de d�as de movilizaci�n consecutiva, continuaron creciendo con mujeres valientes siempre en las primeras filas. Melissa describe esa etapa como los tiempos "cuando las manifestaciones eran poes�a en las calles". 13 Colores de la Resistencia Hondure�a es su obra m�s �ntima e impactante hasta la fecha. Como sugiere el t�tulo, es un libro sobre las identidades plurales e interseccionales de quienes se encontraron en las calles por medio de la resistencia. Es un libro sobre lo que comparten, no solamente entre s�, sino con todos los pueblos que luchan por un mundo m�s justo. Melissa teje las historias de estas 13 mujeres juntas de tal forma que el lector o la lectora, sin conocimiento previo de los eventos del golpe de Estado y de la resistencia en Honduras, termina convencid@ de su importancia fundamental para las luchas de liberaci�n en todas partes. Esta edici�n biling�e es producto de una colaboraci�n con traductor Matt Ginsberg-Jaeckle, quien conoci� a la autora a trav�s de la lideresa ind�gena asesinada Berta C�ceres, a quien esta edici�n est� dedicada.

Book excerpt: Antonio Bernal is a Guatemalan refugee in Los Angeles haunted by memories of his wife and child, who were murdered at the hands of a man marked with yellow ink. In a park near Antonio's apartment, Guillermo Longoria extends his arm and reveals a sinister tattoo—yellow pelt, black spots, red mouth. It is the sign of the death squad, the Jaguar Battalion of the Guatemalan army. This chance encounter between Antonio and his family's killer ignites a psychological showdown between these two men. Each will discover that the war in Central America has migrated with them as they are engulfed by the quemazones—"the great burning" of the Los Angeles riots. A tragic tale of loss and destiny in the underbelly of an American city, The Tattooed Soldier is Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter Héctor Tobar's mesmerizing exploration of violence and the marks it leaves upon us.
