Mission

Life!

By: Eladio Elizondo,Benedicte Muratet

After being diagnosed with end-stage liver cirrhosis and faced with the bitter truth of such terminal illness?about only a year to live?Eladio Elizondo embarked on a furious mission to save his life. In this book, he particularly emphasizes on the monumental efforts required from anyone who has been thrown into the abyss of a fatal disease, and he celebrates how each one of these efforts can help a person overcome a terminal diagnosis. This book is more than a diary. In addition to being a testimony of what happened, it is mainly a retrospective on how the disease affected several of the author?s intrinsic facets. ? Physiological facet From being a healthy, strong man to becoming the morbid, skeletal shadow of a dying man, with massive abdominal ascites, severe portal hypertension, and traumatic encephalopathy. ? Psychological facet From the understandable yet exhausting distress and denial of being revealed a terminal disease, to the disturbing, terrifying phobias of an uncontrolled mind. From unbearably painful, anxious, and restless nights in Florida, to comatose, delirious, and excruciating days in a hospital in Costa Rica. ? Philosophical facet From asking what pain is, to understanding it and learning from it. From asking what victory is and requires, to becoming victorious. From asking what action is, to surviving a secure death. This book is also a manual where lessons are carefully engraved so that readers can use them, so that they can adopt them to their particular situation, and adapt their particular situation to them.

Dictionary of Mexican Literature

By: Eladio Cortes

This volume features approximately 600 entries that represent the major writers, literary schools, and cultural movements in the history of Mexican literature. A collaborative effort by American, Mexican, and Hispanic scholars, the text contains bibliographical, biographical, and critical material--placing each work cited within its cultural and historical framework. Intended to enrich the English-speaking public's appreciation of the rich diversity of Mexican literature, works are selected on the basis of their contribution toward an understanding of this unique artistry. The dictionary contains entries keyed by author and works, the length of each entry determined by the relative significance of the writer or movement being discussed. Each biographical entry identifies the author's literary contribution by including facts about his or her life and works, a chronological list of works, a supplementary bibliography, and, when appropriate, critical notes. Authors are listed alphabetically and cross-referenced both within the text and the index to facilitate easy access to information. Selected bibliographical entries are also listed alphabetically by author and include both the original title and English translation, publisher, date and place of publication, and number of pages.

The Revolutionary Imaginations of Greater Mexico

Chicana/o Radicalism, Solidarity Politics, and Latin American Social Movements

By: Alan Eladio Gómez

Bringing to life the stories of political teatristas, feminists, gunrunners, labor organizers, poets, journalists, ex-prisoners, and other revolutionaries, The Revolutionary Imaginations of Greater Mexico examines the inspiration Chicanas/os found in social movements in Mexico and Latin America from 1971 to 1979. Drawing on fifteen years of interviews and archival research, including examinations of declassified government documents from Mexico, this study uncovers encounters between activists and artists across borders while sharing a socialist-oriented, anticapitalist vision. In discussions ranging from the Nuevo Teatro Popular movement across Latin America to the Revolutionary Proletariat Party of America in Mexico and the Peronista Youth organizers in Argentina, Alan Eladio Gómez brings to light the transnational nature of leftist organizing by people of Mexican descent in the United States, tracing an array of festivals, assemblies, labor strikes, clandestine organizations, and public protests linked to an international movement of solidarity against imperialism. Taking its title from the “greater Mexico” designation used by Américo Paredes to describe the present and historical movement of Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and Chicanas/os back and forth across the US-Mexico border, this book analyzes the radical creativity and global justice that animated “Greater Mexico” leftists during a pivotal decade. While not all the participants were of one mind politically or personally, they nonetheless shared an international solidarity that was enacted in local arenas, giving voice to a political and cultural imaginary that circulated throughout a broad geographic terrain while forging multifaceted identities. The epilogue considers the politics of going beyond solidarity.
