Advancing work to effectively study, understand, and serve the fastest growing U.S. ethnic minority population, this volume explicitly emphasizes the racial and ethnic diversity within this heterogeneous cultural group. The focus is on the complex historical roots of contemporary Latino/as, their diversity in skin-color and physiognomy, racial identity, ethnic identity, gender differences, immigration patterns, and acculturation. The work highlights how the complexities inherent in the diverse Latino/a experience, as specified throughout the topics covered in this volume, become critical elements of culturally responsive and racially conscious mental health treatment approaches. By addressing the complexities, within-group differences, and racially heterogeneity characteristic of U.S. Latino/as, this volume makes a significant contribution to the literature related to mental health treatments and interventions.
In Trafficking Hector Amaya examines how the dramatic escalation of drug violence in Mexico in 2008 prompted new forms of participation in public culture in Mexico and the United States. He contends that, by becoming a site of national and transnational debate about the role of the state, this violence altered the modes publicness could take, transforming assumptions about freedom of expression and the rules of public participation. Amaya examines the practices of narcocorrido musicians who take advantage of digital production and distribution technologies to escape Mexican censors and to share music across the US-Mexico border, as well as anonymous bloggers whose coverage of trafficking and violence from a place of relative safety made them public heroes. These new forms of being in the public sphere, Amaya demonstrates, evolved to exceed the bounds of the state and traditional media sources, signaling the inadequacy of democratic theories of freedom and publicness to understand how violence shapes public discourse.

Esto ocurrio en parte bajo varias otras circunstancias, pero mayormente por mi ignorancia de Dios. Algo no estaba bien en mi vida. Yo sabia desde lo mas profundo que algo faltaba. Asi que comence una aventura para buscar la verdad, que tengo que admitir, a veces era un infierno. Pero si eso es lo necesario, entonces que asi sea. Mi vida se transformo y este libro es el testimonio de por lo que pase, asi como las cosas que tuve que luchar, resistir, sobrellevar y vencer. De repente por momentos, estaba sintiendo un poco del latido del corazon de Jesus transformandome desde adentro y haciendo una explosion hacia el exterior. Si aprendi que Dios no te dejara siendo el mismo en tal situacion. Mi deseo para este libro es primero glorificar a Dios, y ayudar por lo menos a una persona con esta informacion que incluyo aqui, y compartir lo que Dios ha hecho y continua haciendo en mi vida.

DIV This first volume of the Critical Documents of 20th-Century Latin American and Latino Art series published by the International Center for the Arts of the Americas at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, presents 168 crucial texts written by influential artists, critics, curators, journalists, and intellectuals whose writings shed light on questions relating to what it means to be "Latin American" and/or "Latino." Reinforced within a critical framework, the documents address converging issues, including: the construct of "Latin-ness" itself; the persistent longing for a continental identity; notions of Pan–Latin Americanism; the emergence of collections and exhibitions devoted specifically to "Latin American” or "Latino" art; and multicultural critiques of Latin American and Latino essentialism. The selected documents, many of which have never before been published in English, span from the late fifteenth century to the present day. They encompass key protagonists of this comprehensive history as well as unfamiliar figures, revealing previously unknown facets of the questions and issues at play. The book series complements the thousands of seminal documents now available through the ICAA Documents of 20th-Century Latin American and Latino Art digital archive, http://icaadocs.mfah.org. Together they establish a much-needed intellectual foundation for the exhibition, collection, and interpretation of art produced in Latin America and among Latino populations in the United States. /div
Often referred to as Mexico's "Forgotten Revolution," the War of the Cristeros, or Christiada, began before and ended after the bulk of Spanish and English language online postings would lead you to believe. Furthermore, these postings have forgotten, that the northern states also participated, otherwise, how else did Texas rangers and members of the KKK enter Mexico to fight the Catholic Church? (Note that these same online postings agree that members of these American groups did participate in this Revolution). In addition, several Spanish language postings (from Mexico and Spain) mention the fact that a group of Catholic women organized as "Feminine Brigades of Sainte Joan of Arc" and known to the Cristero men as BB's for Brigadas Bonitas, and provided many services to the cause, including taking money to the US to purchase weapons and ammunition. Both English and Spanish versions of the War of the Cristeros, or Christiada, coincide in that it started with the election to the Mexican presidency of Plutarco Elias Calles. However, in some Spanish versions, you can find brief mentions of the fact that before becoming, President Elias Calles he was the Governor of the northern state of Sonora. And those that mention this fact, also mention that during his administration as Governor, he treated the Catholics of Sonora with the same brutality as he did all "Cristeros" in all of Mexico while president. In addition to the author's family stories, San Carajulian Bendito blends popular stories such as the poem Mi Chacha Micaila of unknown author and a story line that could very well turn a young man into a "pelon" killing machine. While the Corrido (popular music genre among the disenfranchised in Mexico), "El Moro de Cumpas" depicts an event of the 1950's, it's indirect mention in San Carajulian Bendito is included to refer to the birthplace of Plutarco Elias Calles in Agua Prieta, Sonora. The movie For Greater Glory views this revolution from the eyes of the rich Catholics in Mexico, San Carajulian Bendito, views it from the poor fighting it and who showed their love of church by wearing a small, cloth scapular instead of the gold studded cross in the movie, and whose battle cry was and continued to be until my youth: Viva Cristo Rey, Viva la Virgen de Guadalupe, Viva Mexico! (If you pay attention, the aforementioned movie does show one or two horse soldiers wearing large scapulars).

Marks the long-awaited arrival—in English—of a masterful voice in Mexican and noir fiction Death in Veracruz is a gritty and atmospheric noir centered on the so-called oil wars of the late 1970s, which pitted the extremely powerful and corrupt government-owned oil cartel against the agrarian landowners in the Tabasco region of Southern Mexico. This novel, translated for the first time in English since its publication 30 years ago, concerns a journalist who investigates the death of a colleague and friend Rojano in a bizarre shooting incident that takes place in a small rural village, and who finds himself up against crooked police and petty government officials bought by the oil conglomerate. But, as he gets deeper and deeper into this Mexican Heart of Darkness, he finds Rojano was not all he seemed, and neither was his widow with whom he falls into a doomed affair. Death in Veracruz.

If there’s one thing that the author wants, it is to be able to share his psychic experiences with as many people as possible. However, cognizant of the fact that not all peoples will be curious on his subject, he decided to write these into a book for anybody interested to read. He narrated here some of his unusual experiences spanning a period of fifty years. Sometimes they did not seem logically explainable, sometimes they were doubtful, sometimes hair-raising, sometimes wonderful. In many instances, he had recurring dreams, so vivid that they almost seem real. At a later time, he would be a witness to the scenery or the situation he saw in his dreams. At first, he doubted his recollections so he tried to list down his dreams of unusual places or events just so he can be sure when it has happened that indeed, he dreamt about it. The French have a term for it, déjà vu, isn’t it? He had not experienced seeing dead people as ghosts, but he was sure he heard something to convince him that they are still very much around. These are some of the experiences he narrated, which you could have experienced yourself.
