The Notebook

By: Jose Saramago

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Beginning on the eve of the 2008 US presidential election, The Notebook evokes life in Saramago’s beloved Lisbon, revisits conversations with friends, and offers meditations on the author’s favorite writers. Precise observations and moments of arresting significance are rendered with pointillist detail, and together demonstrate an acute understanding of our times. Characteristically critical and uncompromising, Saramago dissects the financial crisis, deplores Israel’s punishment of Gaza, and reflects on the rise of Barack Obama. The Notebook is a unique journey into the personal and political world of one of the greatest writers of our time.

Fighting from a Distance

How Filipino Exiles Helped Topple a Dictator

By: Jose V. Fuentecilla

During February 1986, a grassroots revolution overthrew the fourteen-year dictatorship of former president Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines. In this book, Jose V. Fuentecilla describes how Filipino exiles and immigrants in the United States played a crucial role in this victory, acting as the overseas arm of the opposition to help return their country to democracy. A member of one of the major U.S.-based anti-Marcos movements, Fuentecilla tells the story of how small groups of Filipino exiles--short on resources and shunned by some of their compatriots--arrived and survived in the United States during the 1970s, overcame fear, apathy, and personal differences to form opposition organizations after Marcos's imposition of martial law, and learned to lobby the U.S. government during the Cold War. In the process, he draws from multiple hours of interviews with the principal activists, personal files of resistance leaders, and U.S. government records revealing the surveillance of the resistance by pro-Marcos White House administrations. The first full-length book to detail the history of U.S.-based opposition to the Marcos regime, Fighting from a Distance provides valuable lessons on how to persevere against a well-entrenched opponent.

Guerilya Ay Tulad Ng Makata

By: Jose Maria Sison

This book is titled after the world-renowned poem of Jose Maria Sison, "The Guerrilla Is Like a Poet," which celebrates with natural imagery and in a lyrical way the Filipino people's revolutionary struggle for national liberation and democracy against foreign and feudal oppression and exploitation. The book contains poems from Sison's Prison and Beyond, which won the Southeast Asia WRITE Award, as well as new poems that further develop the theme of struggle for national and social liberation as well as exile. It also carries articles of creative writers on the significance and relevance of his poetry. Sison is a Filipino revolutionary with extensive guerrilla experience and has been a recognized poet since his student days at the University of the Philippines. The publication of this book has been sparked by the effort of the Academy for Cultural Activism of the New World Summit to present the people's culture in the national democratic struggle in the Philippines.

Borges and the Politics of Form

Borges and the Politics of Form

By: Jose Eduardo Gonzalez

Jorge Luis Borges-one of the most important Latin American writers-has also attained considerable international stature, and his work is commonly cited in a wide array of scholarship on contemporary fiction. Partly as a consequence of Borges' international identity, and partly because of a long-standing view in Borges criticism that his writing is principally concerned with abstract ideas, critics have been reluctant to address the question of politics in his writing Filling this critical gap, Gonzalez begins by rejecting the proposition that Borges withdraws from the "real," and provides a detailed analysis of the various political issues that Borges takes up in his essays and short stories. The author places particular emphasis on the turbulent questions that shaped Argentine social history during the period of Borges' output.

Spain 1914-1918

Between War and Revolution

By: Francisco J. Romero Salvado,Francisco Jose Romero Salvado

This work analyses the Spanish experience of the First World War in terms of the general crisis in Europe at this time. In Spain, as elsewhere, the impact of four years of devastating conflict resulted in ideological militancy, economic dislocation and social struggle. The author examines the slow decay of the ruling Liberal Monarchy during the war years, and the failure of the neutrality policy to save the existing regime. He looks at challenges to the Administration from: · the labour movement · the bourgeoisie · the army · international powers Romero shows a politically apathetic population galvanised by the war into fierce debate about belligerence or neutrality. The debate divides the nation and the new political awareness leads to a questioning of the Administrations authority. There is also vast economic and social change, as Spain exploits its privileged position as supplier to both sides of the war. These factors lead to galloping inflation, civil unrest and political turmoil, finally resulting in the revolutionary strike of 1917.

Journal of an Unknown Knight

By: Jose Alejandrino

Journal of an Unknown Knight is Jose B. Alejandrino's memoir. It follows his journey from his school days at an English boarding school, his work at UNESCO, his family life in France, his return to Manila following the assassination of Ninoy Aquino, his work at the Manila Chronicle and as Presidential Assistant for Economic Affairs to President Fidel Ramos, to the challenges and spirituality he encountered on his move to Spain. For the first time, he reveals stories about the Fidel Ramos Presidency, which he had been asked not to write about during that time. Following an early fascination with the Knights of the Round Table, he describes his life as a journey of a knight who quietly serves other people, and along the way, he discovers what it truly means to find his Holy Grail. The book details his life as a man who follows his principles: selflessly serving the Filipino people and being a man of faith.

Cuba and the United States

Intervention and Militarism, 1868-1933

By: Jose M. Hernández

When Cuba threw off the yoke of Spanish rule at the end of the nineteenth century, it did so with the help of another foreign power, the United States. Thereafter, the United States became involved in Cuban affairs, intervening twice militarily (1898-1902 and 1906-1909). What was the effect of U.S. intervention? Conventional wisdom indicates that U.S. intervention hindered the rise of militarism in Cuba in the early years of statehood. This pathfinding study, however, takes just the opposite view. Jose M. Hernández argues that while U.S. influence may have checked the worst excesses of the Independence-war veterans who assumed control of Cuba's government, it did not completely deter them from resorting to violence. Thus, a tradition of using violence as a method for transferring power developed in Cuba that often made a mockery of democratic processes. In substantiating this innovative interpretation, Hernández covers a crucial phase in Cuban history that has been neglected by most recent U.S. historians. Correcting stereotypes and myths, he takes a fresh and dispassionate look at Cuba's often romanticized struggle for political emancipation, describing and analyzing in persuasive detail civilmilitary relations throughout the period. This puts national hero Jose Martí's role in the 1895-1898 war of independence in an unusual perspective and sets in bold relief the historical forces that went underground in 1898-1902, only to resurface a few years later. This study will be of interest to all students of hemispheric relations. It presents not only a more accurate picture of the Cuba spawned by American intervention, but also the Cuban side of a story that too frequently has been told solely from the U.S. point of view.

The Texas Association of Chicanos in Higher Education

By: Jose Angel Gutierrez,Natalia Verjat Gutierrez

For the past 40 years, the Texas Association of Chicanos in Higher Education (TACHE) has been on the forefront of advocacy to improve opportunity in higher education for US persons of Mexican origin. Chicano faculty at the University of Texas, together with a few Chicano students, organized the group's first gatherings in 1974, and since then, TACHE has held thematic annual conferences that signal its mission and program focus and allow professional networking. Chicano faculty and students in colleges and universities have increased, but much still remains to be done. Although funding for education is drastically being cut, Chicano and Latino students are at the front door of higher education, and the number of college-ready students is reaching significant levels across the nation. The official designation of Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), for schools with Chicano and Latino student enrollment in excess of 25 percent, has become a badge of honor among colleges and universities.

The Book of Chameleons

A Novel

By: Jose Eduardo Agualusa

Félix Ventura trades in an unusual commodity; he is a dealer in memories, clandestinely selling new pasts to people whose futures are secure and who lack only a good lineage to complete their lives. In this completely original murder mystery, where people are not who they seem and the briefest of connections leads to the forging of entirely new histories, a bookish albino, a beautiful woman, a mysterious foreigner, and a witty talking lizard come together to discover the truth of their lives. Set in Angola, Agualusa's tale darts from tormented past to dream-filled present with a lightness that belies the savage history of a country in which many have something to forget -- and to hide. A brilliant American debut by one of the most lauded writers in the Portuguese-speaking world, this is a beautifully written and always surprising tale of race, truth, and the transformative power of creativity.

Poesia Y Algo MáS de un Mexicano

By: Jose Antonio Yunes Salomon

La vida está llena de pasajes que terminan por conformar toda una poesía, el autor consciente de ello, ha querido expresar sus vivencias a su propio estilo poético. Este libro contiene poemas donde el autor fuerza a rimar los versos en una estructura clásica, alcanzando en su gran mayoría el estilo de los grandes poetas del pasado. Un corazón poético encuentra su centro de inspiración y nuestro autor encontró el suyo en la expresión más sublime de la mujer, a la que claramente le dedica su obra. Sin implicar una división explícita, los poemas en la obra se encuentran diferenciados conforme a las distintas formas de expresión de sus sentimientos como lo es la juventud, el amor, decepción, tristeza, toque erótico, el homenaje, unos cuantos de reflexión y muy pocos de género macabro. El autor nos aclara el porqué el título de esta obra incluye la expresión "algo más", al decirnos que incluyó textos que motivan a la reflexión, sobre dos asuntos que angustian su corazón de poeta y siente la necesidad de darlos a conocer. Actualmente como profesor jubilado de la Universidad de Guadalajara, vive en la ciudad del mismo nombre en Jalisco, México. Email: 1950jays@gmail.com

The Making of a Chicano Militant

Lessons from Cristal

The Making of a Chicano Militant

Lessons from Cristal

By: Jose Angel Gutierrez

Texas, for years, was a one-party state controlled by white democrats. In 1962, a young eighteen-year-old heard the first rumblings of Chicano community organization in the barrios of Cristal. The rumor in the town was that five Mexican Americans were going to run for all five seats on the city council. But first, poor citizens had to find a way to pay the $1.75 poll tax. Money had to be raised—through bake sales of tamales, cake walks, and dances. So began the political activism of José Angel Gutiérrez. Gutiérrez's autobiography, The Making of a Chicano Militant, is the first insider's view of the important political and social events within the Mexican American communities in South Texas during the 1960s and 1970s. A controversial and dynamic political figure during the height of the Chicano movement, Gutiérrez offers an absorbing personal account of his life at the forefront of the Mexican-American civil rights movement—first as a Chicano and then as a militant. Gutiérrez traces the racial, ethnic, economic, and social prejudices facing Chicanos with powerful scenes from his own life: his first summer job as a tortilla maker at the age of eleven, his racially motivated kidnapping as a teenager, and his coming of age in the face of discrimination as a radical organizer in college and graduate school. When Gutiérrez finally returned to Cristal, he helped form the Mexican American Youth Organization and, subsequently the Raza Unida Party to confront issues of ethnic intolerance in his community. His story is soon to be a classic in the developing literature of Mexican American leaders.

Holland House and Portugal, 17931840

English Whiggery and the Constitutional Cause in Iberia

By: Jose Baptista de Sousa

‘Holland House and Portugal’, a study in political and diplomatic history, focuses on the relations between Lord Holland and Portugal from 1793 to 1840. The book traces the evolution of Holland’s views on Portugal from the time of his first visit to Spain to his later contribution to the establishment of a constitutional regime in Portugal. Lord Holland’s influence on the establishment of a constitutional regime in Spain in 1809–10 and – indirectly and unintentionally – in Portugal in 1820–23 is examined at some length, as is his contribution to the establishment of a Liberal regime in Portugal in 1834. ‘Holland House and Portugal’ includes a study of the extent of Holland’s support for the Portuguese Liberal cause after Dom Miguel’s usurpation of the throne in 1828 and of his subsequent role in the ‘Liberal invasion’ of Portugal. The book also discusses Holland’s contribution to the end of the Portuguese Civil War in 1834 and to the subsequent establishment of a constitutional regime in that country.

Back in Them Days--When Patagonia Was a Mining Town

Stories and Recollections

By: Jose Mendoza

In the old days, Patagonia was a mining and ranching town. The hills were dotted with mines—the Trench, Flux, World's Fair, and many, many more. Copper and silver and gold ore came down--in trucks and on burros--from mining towns such as Harshaw to the railroad in downtown Patagonia. In those days also, cowboys drove their herds into town to the pens along the railroad to wait for the cattle cars. And at night, in the local bars, miners swapped stories about ore cars that left the tracks, veins of gold ore that had not been mined yet, and miners who were maimed or who died in accidents. Joker Mendoza was there. He walked from his home across from the cattle pens eight miles uphill to the Flux, and he walked home at night with his miner's lamp lighting up the path. Today, Joker still sits in the Wagon Wheel bar from time to time, and, if you ask, will retell the stories of those days, now long gone. Pull up a stool and listen. Let Joker take you back to the mines. See if you can smell the gas and taste the dust!

La Felicidad Es Tu Responsabilidad

(La Causa de Todo Sufrimiento Es El Olvido)

By: José Bernardo Vargas Ruiz,Jose Bernardo Vargas Ruiz

¿Eres feliz? Si no puedes responder a esta pregunta con la certeza y rapidez como lo harías cuando alguien te pregunta: ¿ya comiste?, significa que tienes dudas para expresar el estado emocional más anhelado por todo ser humano, el estado de la felicidad. Pero si tus dudas aumentan cuando te preguntan: ¿crees en la felicidad permanente?, quiere decir que ya es tiempo de comenzar a indagar sobre las posibles causas que impiden manifestar en ti el estado de felicidad; es decir, no te enredes tratando de responder si eres feliz o no, mejor opta por identificar los obstáculos que te impiden contestar en automático, tal y como lo haces cuando se te hace la pregunta relacionada con la comida. Si te atreves a buscar dichos obstáculos ¡ya ganaste! Porque por lo menos te planteas la posibilidad de creer y aceptar que la felicidad está en ti, pero no se manifiesta debido a la existencia de obstáculos que deben ser eliminados; si te motivas a detectarlos y a removerlos, observarás que también desaparecen las causas de tu infelicidad y ya no tendrás que esforzarte buscando afuera de ti los motivos de tu desventura. De este mismo modo, empezarás a establecer prioridades en tu propia vida, responsabilizándote de ti mismo y agudizando tu auto-observación para identificar y eliminar de tu interior dichos obstáculos. De eso trata este libro, de motivarte a identificarlos, sugiriéndote técnicas eficaces para removerlos, de tal manera que tu felicidad se exprese clara y nítidamente en el brillo de tus ojos, en tu cara, en tu cuerpo entero y sea manifestada desde el centro de tu corazón hacia todos quienes te rodean.

A General Theory of Oblivion

By: Jose Eduardo Agualusa

Shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize A Portuguese woman shuts herself away after the Angolan War of Independence in this stunning novel from a master storyteller whose writing evokes Gabriel García Márquez and J.M. Coetzee. On the eve of Angolan independence, an agoraphobic woman named Ludo bricks herself into her Luandan apartment for 30 years, living off vegetables and the pigeons she lures in with diamonds, burning her furniture and books to stay alive, and writing her story on the apartment's walls. As the country goes through various political upheavals—from colony to socialist republic to civil war to peace and capitalism—the world outside seeps into Ludo’s life through snippets on the radio, voices from next door, glimpses of someone peeing on a balcony, or a man fleeing his pursuers. Almost as if we're eavesdropping, the history of Angola unfolds through the stories of those she sees from her window . . . A General Theory of Oblivion is a perfectly crafted, wild patchwork of a novel, playing on a love of storytelling and fable.

Ni OS de La Guerrilla

By: Jose Cruz

NIÑOS DE LA GUERRILLA (Ak'alab' reche le guerrilla). Es la historia que nos revela como la tranquilidad, la paz, y la armonía de las comunidades campesinas, repentinamente fue arrebatada con violencia incendiaria; al irrumpir en esas pacíficas comunidades el fuego destructor del comunismo internacional. Y cómo esa impactante violencia vino a destruir las familias y los poblados; arrasando no solamente con los míseros valores materiales sino también con todos los valores familiares; hasta con la identidad, la espiritualidad y el misticismo de los pueblos mayas, con toda aquella horrible destrucción y muerte. Esta desgraciada experiencia se agigantó dolorosamente cuando recayó en niños inocentes, imberbes, y analfabetas; que fueron arrastrados violentamente desde sus comunidades hasta cruzar por las montañas y los ríos, la frontera del vecino país. Para cumplir con los planes estratégicos y políticos de la guerrilla. Esta no es la historia del inmigrante común, que con natural entusiasmo anhela alcanzar "El Sueño Americano". Esta es la historia de los niños que espantados ante la violencia y el secuestro; aún en sus míseras condiciones escapan y luchan por alejarse de aquellas organizaciones de terror que solamente les mostró una violencia que nunca habían conocido; cuyo fin único era transformarlos en niños guerrilleros. Es la transformación total de su pacifica vida desde el seno familiar. Desde la tranquilidad del campo hasta el infierno de la violencia en las acciones de guerra, la soledad y el abandono en un país extraño. La fuga de Atanasio Pu de los solapados campos de concentración en México, dirigidos por el Comunismo Internacional. El sentimiento de persecución que siempre lo atormentó. Su desastrosa infancia, sin familia, sin amigos, en la más triste y aberrante miseria. Encarna el sufrimiento al cual fueron sometidas esas familias guatemaltecas especialmente las familias mayas. Todo esto constituye sin duda un trauma familiar y social que lamentablemente atormentará a esas comunidades y a los guatemaltecos por muchos años más.

Cuban Palimpsests

Cuban Palimpsests

By: Jose Quiroga

Four decades ago, the Cuban revolution captured the world’s attention and imagination. Its impact around the world was as much cultural as geopolitical. Within Cuba, the state developed a strictly defined national and collective memory that led directly from a colonial past to a utopian future, but this narrative came to a halt in the early 1990s. The collapse of Cuba’s sponsor, the Soviet Union, and the end of the Cold War preceded the so- called “Special Period in Times of Peace,” a euphemistic phrase that masked the genuine anxiety shared by leaders and people about the nation’s future. In Cuban Palimpsests, José Quiroga explores the sites, both physical and imaginative, where memory bears upon Cuba’s collective history in ways that illuminate this extended moment of uncertainty. Crossing geographical, political, and cultural borders, Quiroga moves with ease between Cuba, Miami, and New York. He traces generational shifts within the exile community, contrasts Havana’s cultural richness with its economic impoverishment, follows the cloak-and-dagger narratives of revolutionary and counterrevolutionary spy fiction and film, and documents the world’s ongoing fascination with Cuban culture. From the nostalgic photographs of Walker Evans to the iconic stature of Fidel Castro, from the literary expressions of despair to the beat of Cuban musical rhythms, from the haunting legacy of artist Ana Mendieta to the death of Celia Cruz and the reburial of Che Guevara, Cuban Palimpsests memorializes the ruins of Cuba’s past and offers a powerful meditation on its enigmatic place within the new world order. José Quiroga is professor and department chair of Spanish and Portuguese at Emory University. He is the author of Understanding Octavio Paz and Tropics of Desire: Interventions from Queer Latino America.

Brigands in the Eyes of the Law

By: Himerio Jose Dela Llana Garcia IV

The Philippine Islands became independent on June 12, 1898, but faced a new colonizer upon the acquisition of the Islands by the United States of America from Spain through the Treaty of Paris. The revolutionaries fought a new, protracted war despite the superiority of the American forces. Against all odds, Filipinos continued the struggle for independence. Many died in battle while the unwavering hold-outs faced the dubious distinction of being convicted for the crime of brigandage. Of those convicted, many were hanged at the gallows, while others endured long prison sentences. They all went down in history as brigands, rebels, and criminals. What happened to these men were written in the decisions of the Supreme Court, with the Philippine Islands still under American rule. These decisions, compiled in the Philippine Reports, contained "e;names and facts"e; which historians and researchers could use to evaluate and complete the story of the Philippine nation during an era systematically forgotten. In the turmoil of nation-building, the Filipinos' convictions became their badge of honor, their exploits perpetually etched in the pages of the Philippine Reports. This is their story.

Battles in the Desert (40th Anniversary Edition)

By: Jose Emilio Pacheco

This heart-breaking novella is a key work of 20th-century dystopian Mexican literature and sadly all too apropos today This landmark novella—one of the central texts of Mexican literature, is eerily relevant to our current dark times—offers a child’s-eye view of a society beset by dictators, disease, and natural disasters, set in “the year of polio, foot-and-mouth disease, floods.” A middle-class boy grows up in a world of children aping adults (mock wars at recess pit Arabs against Jews), where a child’s left to ponder “how many evils and catastrophes we have yet to witness.” When Carlos laments the cruelty and corruption, the evils of a vicious class system, his older brother answers: “So what, we are living up to our ears in shit anyway under Miguel Alemán’s regime,” with “the face of El Senor Presidente everywhere: incessant, private abuse.” Sound familiar? Woven into this coming-of-age saga is the terribly intense love Carlos cherishes for his friend’s young mother, which has the effect of driving the general cruelties further under the reader’s skin. The acclaimed translator Katherine Silver has greatly revised her original translation, enlivening afresh this remarkable work.
