The New Latino Studies Reader

A Twenty-First-Century Perspective

By: Ramon A. Gutierrez

The New Latino Studies Reader is designed as a contemporary, updated, multifaceted collection of writings that bring to force the exciting, necessary scholarship of the last decades. Its aim is to introduce a new generation of students to a wide-ranging set of essays that helps them gain a truer understanding of what itÕs like to be a Latino in the United States. Ê With the reader, students explore the sociohistorical formation of Latinos as a distinct panethnic group in the United States, delving into issues of class formation; social stratification; racial, gender, and sexual identities; and politics and cultural production. And while other readers now in print may discuss Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans and Central Americans as distinct groups with unique experiences, this text explores both the commonalities and the differences that structure the experiences of Latino Americans. Timely, thorough, and thought-provoking, The New Latino Studies Reader provides a genuine view of the Latino experience as a whole. Ê

On The Rim Of Mexico

Encounters Of The Rich And Poor

By: Ramon Eduardo Ruiz

The vast stretch of mostly arid lands and deserts that makes up the border between Mexico and the United States is not only one of the longest international boundaries in the world, setting apart two entirely different countries for more than two thousand miles, it is the backdrop for a seemingly endless series of major binational news stories. Witness the headline-grabbing attention garnered by NAFTA and the global economy; the assembly plants labeled saviors of the Mexican poor; the accounts applauding the capture of Mexican drug lords; and the columns upon columns devoted to stories about illegal immigration. Nowhere else does a poor, Third World country, like Mexico, share a common border with a wealthy, powerful neighbor del otro lado (on the other side). Here, as one goes, so goes the other.On the Rim of Mexico: Encounters of the Rich and Poor addresses the ties and asymmetries across the Mexico-U.S. border, from Tijuana/San Diego to Matamoros/Brownsville. Based on author Ram-duardo Ruiz's extensive research, travels, remembrances, and first-hand interviews with the people on the Mexican side, the book probes the history, economics, and customs which have shaped this region today. While the author considers many timely issues (the impact of drug trafficking, legal and illegal immigration, assembly plants and the global economy, and the ecological disaster in the making), the book is also an examination of the borderlands themselves: what they are, how they came to be, and salient aspects of life in this region of the world. Moreover, it is an exploration of binational themes. For Mexicans who live and die next door to the almighty Uncle Sam, nearly everything has a binational ring?even personal identity. On the Rim of Mexico is a moving portrait of the people, places, and issues which make-up border life today.

Latino Politics in America

Community, Culture, and Interests

By: John A. Garcia,Gabriel Ramon Sanchez

The fourth edition of this widely-used textbook introduces students to what it means to be a Latino American culturally and politically at a time of unprecedented challenges for America’s diverse and fastest-growing ethnic group. Garcia and Sanchez provide an in-depth examination of the individual communities that comprise the Latino culture, and how those bonds affect political development and decisions. With a look at voting, immigration, political engagement, and the critical public policies that constitute a Latino agenda, Garcia and Sanchez provide substantive insight on Latino pan-ethnic identity, growing policy issues, political participation, and the impact of changing Latino sub-groups.

Juan Ladrilleros

El Navegante Olvidado

By: Ramón Arriagada,Ramon Arriagada

Los canales del sur de Chile tranquilos a ratos; tormentosos, intrincados y fantasmagóricos todo el tiempo, hasta el siglo XVI sólo conocían la presencia humana de los indios alacalufes que en inestables y débiles canoas los merodeaban. En el mes de octubre de 1557 aparecen desde el Golfo de Penas avanzando hacia el sur dos bien pertrechados bergantines españoles en procura de encontrar la boca nor-occidental del Estrecho de Magallanes. Una de estas embarcaciones es el "San Luis" que lleva como capitán al ilustre marino español Juan Ladrilleros. Piloto formado en una escuela de élite como fue la de Sevilla, dependiente de la poderosa Casa de Contratación. Enviado por el gobernador García Hurtado de Mendoza, tiene como mandato llegar hasta el Estrecho y tomar posesión de este paso en nombre del Virreinato del Perú y la Gobernación de Chile. La lectura de este documentado histórico, le permitirá al lector conocer las motivaciones de Ladrilleros para navegar en una misión por los mares más inhóspitos de la tierra. Su autor, residente y conocedor de esos mares, nos entrega las vivencias y sensaciones de una sorprendente navegación.
