A Decent Family


Book Description

For fans of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan series comes a captivating family saga focused on a willful young woman's struggles against her oppressive small town by acclaimed Italian author Rosa Ventrella. In old Bari, everyone knows Maria De Santis as "Malacarne," the bad seed. Nicknamed for her dark features, volcanic temperament, and resistance to rules, the headstrong girl can only imagine the possibilities that lie outside her poverty-stricken neighborhood. Growing up with her mother, two brothers, and a tyrannical father, Maria must abide. She does--amid the squalid life to which she was born, the cruelties of her small-minded neighbors, and violence in a constant threat of eruption. As she reconciles her need for escape with the allegiance she feels toward her family, Maria has her salvations: her secret friend, Michele, son of a rival family and every bit the outsider she is, and her passion for books, which may someday take her far, far away. In this exquisitely rendered and sensory-rich novel, Rosa Ventrella explores the limits of loyalty, the redeeming power of friendship and love, and the fire in the soul of one woman who was born to break free.

Borderlands


Book Description

Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. Latinx Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Edited by Ricardo F. Vivancos-Pèrez and Norma Cantú. Rooted in Gloria Anzaldúa's experiences growing up near the U.S./Mexico border, BORDERLANDS/LA FRONTERA remaps our understanding of borders as psychic, social, and cultural terrains that we inhabit and that inhabit us all. Drawing heavily on archival research and a comprehensive literature review while contextualizing the book within her theories and writings before and after its 1987 publication, this critical edition elucidates Anzaldúa's complex composition process and its centrality in the development of her philosophy. It opens with two introductory studies; offers a corrected text, explanatory footnotes, translations, and four archival appendices; and closes with an updated bibliography of Anzaldúa's works, an extensive scholarly bibliography on Borderlands, a brief biography, and a short discussion of the Gloria E. Anzaldúa Papers. "Ricardo F. Vivancos-Pèrez's meticulous archival work and Norma Elia Cantú's life experience and expertise converge to offer a stunning resource for Anzaldúa scholars; for writers, artists, and activists inspired by her work; and for everyone. Hereafter, no study of Borderlands will be complete without this beautiful, essential reference."--Paola Bacchetta

Niños y jóvenes ante las redes y pantallas


Book Description

Los niños y jóvenes crecen rodeados de los medios y las tecnologías, de pantallas a través de las cuales cuentan y muestran su vida y miran la de otros. Los docentes deben asumir, como parte de su responsabilidad profesional, el dominio de la competencia mediática para poder implementar estrategias didácticas y recursos pedagógicos adecuados al desarrollo tecnológico y mediático más actual. La educación en medios sigue siendo algo anecdótico o instrumental. Plantear cómo funcionan sus lenguajes, cómo se producen sus mensajes, la retórica y técnicas que emplean para construir el significado, de qué manera seleccionan y manipulan la información y la comunicación, puede contribuir a disminuir su autoridad y su consideración de mitos y a fomentar la conciencia crítica ante ellos.
