Book Description

The reader will find in this anthology a diversity representative of the new Hispanic sensibility being formed in the three Americas. Spanish has become an extensively used language, crossing frontiers with workers that migrate through regions, helping to unite these beings separated by nationalities but who are brothers because of common feelings and the same cultural and linguistic heritage. The poetry in this book performs a reparative role, trying to come closer to another being, the spirit of creativity, and make it more a part of the poetic self. It does so through the magic of the lyrical word. El lector encontrará en esta antología una diversidad representativa de la nueva sensibilidad hispana en formación en las tres Américas. El español se ha vuelto una lengua de uso extendido, que cruza las fronteras con los trabajadores que se desplazan por su territorio, ayudando a unir a estos seres separados por las nacionalidades pero hermanados por un sentir común y una misma herencia cultural y lingüística. La poesía aquí tiene un papel reparador, tratando de acercar al otro y hacerlo más íntimo para el yo, mediante la magia de la palabra poética. Because the anthology is thematic, its poetic form is eclectic. The poets come from distinct poetic schools, employ different styles. Juana Arancibia writes verse that is reflective and unpretentious, a manner fostered by her regional roots and the poetry of Northwest Argentina for which she is a passionate spokesperson. Rubén Vela cultivates a stirring Poetry Americana that defends American values and is linked to the great movement initiated by Neruda in his Canto General. Ester de Izaguirre creates poetry that is intimate, colloquial and urban, idiomatic to the area of Rio de La Plata. José Cuervo associates more with Hispanic poetry written in North America, Chicano poetry, in which social meditation bears priority over the form of verse. Fitzgerald expresses great affection for nature, a common theme in the poetry of his country and enters into a transcendental poetic dialog with creation, cultivating impressive images of exquisite construction. Porque la antología es temática su forma poética es heterogénea, los poetas vienen de distintas escuelas poéticas, cultivan estilos diferentes. Juana Arancibia escribe una poesía reflexiva y sencillista derivada de sus raíces regionales, la poesía del noroeste argentino, de la que es continuadora; Rubén Vela cultiva una poesía americanista, de defensa de los valores americanos, vinculada al gran movimiento que inició Neruda en su canto General; Ester de Izaguirre escribe una poesía intimista, coloquial y urbana, rioplatense; José Cuervo se vincula más a la poesía hispana escrita en Norteamérica, la poesía chicana, en que la meditación social tiene prioridad sobre la forma; Fitzgerald, poeta norteamericano, expresa el gran amor a la naturaleza de la poesía de su país, el diálogo trascendental del poeta con la creación y cultiva imágenes visuales llamativas de exquisita factura.

Words of the True Peoples/Palabras de los Seres Verdaderos


Book Description

As part of the larger, ongoing movement throughout Latin America to reclaim non-Hispanic cultural heritages and identities, indigenous writers in Mexico are reappropriating the written word in their ancestral tongues and in Spanish. As a result, the long-marginalized, innermost feelings, needs, and worldviews of Mexico's ten to twenty million indigenous peoples are now being widely revealed to the Western societies with which these peoples coexist. To contribute to this process and serve as a bridge of intercultural communication and understanding, this groundbreaking, three-volume anthology gathers works by the leading generation of writers in thirteen Mexican indigenous languages: Nahuatl, Maya, Tzotzil, Tzeltal, Tojolabal, Tabasco Chontal, Purepecha, Sierra Zapoteco, Isthmus Zapoteco, Mazateco, Ñahñu, Totonaco, and Huichol. Volume Three contains plays by six Mexican indigenous writers. Their plays appear first in their native language, followed by English and Spanish translations. Montemayor and Frischmann have abundantly annotated the Spanish, English, and indigenous-language texts and added glossaries and essays that introduce the work of each playwright and discuss the role of theater within indigenous communities. These supporting materials make the anthology especially accessible and interesting for nonspecialist readers seeking a greater understanding of Mexico's indigenous peoples.

Abiayalan Pluriverses


Book Description

Abiayalan Pluriverses: Bridging Indigenous Studies and Hispanic Studies looks for pathways that better connect two often siloed disciplines. This edited collection brings together different disciplinary experiences and perspectives to this objective, weaving together researchers, artists, instructors, and authors who have found ways of bridging Indigenous and Hispanic studies through trans-Indigenous reading methods, intercultural dialogues, and reflections on translation and epistemology. Each chapter brings rich context that bears on some aspect of the Indigenous Americas and its crossroads with Hispanic studies, from Canada to Chile. Such a hemispheric and interdisciplinary approach offers innovative and significant means of challenging the coloniality of Hispanic studies.
