Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Las Hermanas

In this historical study, Lara Medina examines the early development and continuing influence of Las Hermanas, a feminist organization established in 1971 to counter the patriarchy and Eurocentrism of the U.S. Catholic Church. Medina weaves archival research and oral interviews into a cohesive narrative that highlights the keen ethnic and political awareness among the movement's leaders and participants. Medina also illuminates the strides made by Las Hermanas in undermining and reorienting the male-dominated structure of both the Catholic ministry and the Chicano civil rights movement. By showing how the group has engaged such issues as moral authority, sexuality, and domestic abuse through its religiously informed efforts in grassroots community organizing and education, Medina showcases the crucial role played by Las Hermanas in the articulation of a spiritually and politically grounded Latina/Chicana identity.

Discurso del "Indio"

Libro Discurso del Indio

¿Acaso ustedes no memorizan un poco de poesía para parar la masacre? interpeló el “indio” al “hombre blanco”. Este libro surge como un escudo poético para detener esa masacre. Las comillas irrumpieron en la traducción del poema del árabe al castellano ofreciéndose como munición poética para hacer frente a la muerte. No obstante, en el epígrafe, que cita la famosa carta del jefe Seattle, asevera que no hay muerte, sino un cambio de mundos.

Calles y Atatürk

Libro Calles y Atatürk

Andrés Orgaz Martínez analiza los paralelismos entre la Revolución mexicana y la revolución turca, las similitudes y contradicciones entre el gobierno de Plutarco Elías Calles y Kemal Atatürk, “el padre de los turcos”, y las repercusiones de estos conflictos en otras naciones del mundo. El autor abandona la aproximación eurocéntrica con la que se han estudiado las revoluciones del mundo y las analiza como reestructuraciones que representan un nodo en la red de contacto de pensamiento humano que une espacios geográficos tan aislados como México y Turquía.
