Una lectura entretenida.......2004-02-02

Este libro me parecio muy entrenido, la escritora narra la historia con todos esos detalles que nos hacen transportarnos al lugar donde ocurren los hechos, una vez se empieza a leer, uno trata de mantener la lectura hasta acabarlo y llega a identificarse con los personajes, disfrutando las historias de amor-odio que se producen. Definitavemente un libro para disfrutar.

Book Description

"These 13 well-written scholarly essays are an eclectic compilation covering disparate topics, places, and time periods relating to the African Diaspora. . . . Recommended."
—Choice

Â”Thus this book will be fruitful for ongoing debates on Diaspora and transnationalism and is indispensable for anyone interested in African Diaspora studies.Â”
—Journal of African History

"This sparkling mosaic of thought from the African Diaspora redraws the boundaries of relevant scholarship to the benefit of a wide array of students and scholars. A greatly needed volume."
—P. Sterling Stuckey, Presidential Chair and Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History, University of California at Riverside

"A valuable contribution to a vision of the African diaspora as intricately linked to specific histories, cultures and societies of Africa, both in the era of slavery and within the context of pan-Africanism."
—Paul E. Lovejoy, Director, Harriet Tubman Resource Centre on the African Diaspora, York University, Toronto

Diasporic Africa presents the most recent research on the history and experiences of people of African descent outside of the African continent. By incorporating Europe and North Africa as well as North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean, this reader shifts the discourse on the African diaspora away from its focus solely on the Americas, underscoring the fact that much of the movement of people of African descent took place in Old World contexts. This broader view allows for a more comprehensive approach to the study of the African diaspora.

The volume provides an overview of African diaspora studies and features as a major concern a rigorous interrogation of "identity." Other primary themes include contributions to western civilization, from religion, music, and sports to agricultural production and medicine, as well as the way in which our understanding of the African diaspora fits into larger studies of transnational phenomena.

Book Description

A razor-sharp memoir about the allure of suicide for three generations of women in one Puerto Rican family, A Message from God in the Atomic Age delves into the frightening secrets that have haunted a grandmother, mother, and daughter, alternating between Vilar's notes from the psychiatric ward and her recounting of her family history. of photos.

Customer Reviews:

Seeing is believing..........2000-04-26

The story reads very much like J.D. Salinger's Catcher in theRye, except that JD's was a work of fiction and Vilar's is a true andheart wrenching account of her own experience. From a literaryperspective, it is obvious that Vilar is young. But this work holds the promise of greater literary works by Vilar. Vilar's talent is in her ability to drag you in to her story and aid you in understanding it without too much of a fuss. The books makes great reading for HS students. It is valuable in terms of it's linkage to contemporary historical facts about which HS students may just be learning. The books biggest benefit is in its telling in the intimate way only an insider can about the aftermath of political actions of the 1950's.

A great book for the scientifically-oriented child.......2000-12-04

In "Hispanic Scientists," Jetty St. John has written short biographies of 5 fascinating individuals: biomedical engineer Carlos A. Ramirez, astronaut and optics expert Ellen Ochoa, zoopharmacognosy pioneer Eloy Rodriguez, neurology researcher Lydia Villa-Komaroff, and botanist Maria Elena Zavala.

St. John offers insights into both the lives and work of these scientists. The book contains many photographs, as well as a useful glossary and other resources.

Book Description

Memoir. "The vivid and compassionate story of one woman's- and one family's- struggle to come to terms with the shattering consequences of exile. Highly recommended for the poignancy of its writing and the sensitive portrayal of an often misunderstood community"-Gustavo Perez Firmat. SCATTERING THE ASHES is a book about exile, about Cuba and her offspring, and about the power of history and politics over Cubans' daily lives. Maria del Carmen Boza tells that shared history through the private story of a family living and adapting awkwardly to an alien land, with, according to Howard Norman, "unmitigated integrity, beauty, courage and passion." Boza lives in Maine and teaches in the writing workshop at Bates College.

Customer Reviews:

A compelling memoir.......2006-08-11

I recently returned from Cuba, and it has been quite difficult for me to reconcile the bitterness of Cuban Americans with the beauty of the island. I have been reading a lot of Cuban American memoirs from the 1.5 generation recently, and Maria Del Carmen Boza is the first author who I have seen to set aside her anger over losing her homeland with the Revolution and creating a real portrait of Cuba in the 1950's. A beautiful piece of literature, I highly recommend this book.

Scattering the Ashes.......2000-05-15

Reading about the betrayal by the Kennedy administration of the invasion by Brigade 2506 was one of the first topics that shaped my view of things. It may have been in "None Dare Call It Treason" which I read in 1964. In any event, it made a great impression on me as a twelve-year-old boy. In the same time period, I was reading "Reminiscences" the autobiography of Gen. Douglas MacArthur and "Conscience of a Conservative" by Sen. Barry Morris Goldwater. Reading details of Giron in Maria's book, details which were unavailable in 1964, brought back all of the personal anguish which I felt at the time and somehow it was a reassurance that the frustration and anguish which I have held close to my heart all of these years was a validation; a validation of my own life.

The failure to defeat Castro by actually supporting actions like Brigade 2506 has been the most disastrous blunder in American history. Certainly, I think that it ranks as first place as the damage that Castro has inflicted upon the world as a Soviet client state has had the most direct impact upon my country. The betrayal of Chiang Kai-Shek and the Alger Hiss conspiracy with Joseph Stalin at Yalta would rank second and third. Every time I view something by the CBS news department, it reminds me that I'm in "internal exile" in my own country.

I have a great respect for Maria del Carmen Boza for writing about her family in such a close personal way as it exposes her private life to the public. To bring all of their vastitudes and personal strengths and weaknesses to public view gives me a greater appreciation of myself and the value of life itself. For this gift I can only say "thank you."

scattered and repetitive.......1999-01-09

I am an avid reader of latino fiction and eagerly bought this book hoping that it would be a good addition to my latino literature course. I was thoroughly dissapointed. The text is repetitive and awkward in its prose. Worst of all it presents as a text about Cuban exile, but reads like a tale of a woman who has unresolved issues with her dead father and her disconnected mother. If you are interested in reading about a woman's struggle to understand her identity--this book is a decent read.

A moving story about reconciliation with the past.......1998-07-08

The act of emigration is traumatic for most of us, who retain the freedom to return to our homelands, to visit family and friends, to find the comfort of familiar sights and sounds. In Ms. Boza's memoir, a fragile young girl emigrates to this country as an exile who can never see her extended family or home again. She writes a poignant and thought-provoking story about her struggle to make peace with her past and move on with her life. While this book is not eary to read, it is beautifully written and worth the effort. I'm still thinking about it.

A courageous book -- difficult and rewarding........1998-05-15

Think of Cuban exiles and you will likely come up with a stereotypical figure -- rich, right-wing, insane. In the US this prejudice is largely unexamined. Cuban exiles are easy to dismiss. But I wouldn't dismiss this one.

Boza, a Cuban exile who came to the US when she was eight, has written a courageous book -- her first. Compelled to discover why her father committed suicide -- she explores the effect of the political on the personal within her own family, and within the exile community.

Boza writes compellingly about this life in exile, a life sometimes warped by memories of the old and the realities of the new. Her father was a player in Cuban exile politics, and was consumed with this, becoming more and more bitter after the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Yet he is sympathetic, and Boza is successful in writing honestly of an imperfect man in a way that makes his obsession understandable if not troubling.

But this memoir is not just about her father. It explores how, after coming to Miami, life in exile unravelled, how personal things, and connections with the commonplace - birthdays, clothes, food -, became more and more of an abstraction. And she writes about her own struggles to make her own world concrete again.

It is a difficult book in some ways. Boza moves against the grain. Her narrative skips in time. At times the narrative intrudes on our own sense of privacy making us a little uncomfortable. She often interrupts the narrative, disrupting the political with the personal or vice versa, taking long detours around the subject. Memory intrudes - some pleasant, some ugly. We look at it all. But the writing is strong throughout, and there are numerous long sections that are poetic if not sublime.

Life in exile, in spite of the ease with which we can imagine it, must have been/must be strange and isolating. Much more so for an eight-eighteen year old to watch ones parents slip into a kind of madness. There are no heroes in this book. But it took a lot of courage to write.
