Exploring the diverse and dynamic ancestral veneration rites of the ancient Mesoamericans as well as those practiced in contemporary curanderismo, Erika Buenaflor shows how we can draw from these traditions to reconnect with our ancestors, deepen our healing journeys, and shape our lives. She explains how ancestors contain sacred energy that can continue in their direct physical heirs, be reborn in the landscape at sacred sites, or manifest in other beings that inhabit the same lands.

José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero comenzó a leer a Borges en la década de los setenta, en su casa natal, en León. Pasan los años y adquiere, como tantos otros, la sensación, nada fatigosa, de que se ha convertido en un relector del escritor argentino. En 2001, se le brinda la oportunidad de prologar una edición de Ficciones y conoce personalmente a María Kodama.

8:38, la hora a la que murió Dostoievski, marca el ritmo de esta historia pausada que empapa al lector, que lo lleva por los laberintos de la literatura, del recuerdo, del pasado cuando se estrella frontalmente contra el presente. Narra la historia de Luis Rodríguez, un autor que intenta escribir una novela basada en hechos reales y termina fracasando y suicidándose, así como las reflexiones de compañeros, lectoras y personajes ajenos a lo literario. Una biografía que es un cuento dentro de una historia falsa. Indispensable.

By age 12, Luis Rodriguez was a veteran of East L.A. gang warfare. Lured by a seemingly invincible gang culture, he witnessed countless shootings, beatings, and arrests, then watched with increasing fear as that culture claimed friends and family members.

In 1915, Puerto Rican activist Luisa Capetillo was arrested and acquitted for being the first woman to wear men's trousers publicly. While this act of gender-nonconforming rebellion elevated her to feminist icon status in modern pop culture, it also overshadowed the significant contributions she made to the women's movement and anarchist labor movements of the early 20th century - both in her native Puerto Rico and in the migrant labor belt in the eastern United States. 

En todo el mundo, las democracias se enfrentan a un enemigo nuevo e implacable que no tiene ejército ni armada; no procede de ningún país que podamos señalar en un mapa, porque no viene de ahí fuera, sino de aquí dentro. En lugar de desafiar a las sociedades libres con la destrucción desde el exterior, amenaza con corroerlas desde el interior.

La espléndida biografía de Alexander von Humboldt, el héroe perdido de la ciencia y padre de la ecología. 

Luis J. Rodriguez writes about race, culture, identity, and belonging and what these all mean and should mean (but often fail to) in the volatile climate of our nation. His passion and wisdom inspire us with the message that we must come together if we are to move forward.
