El Cinco de Mayo: An American Tradition
ISBN: 9780520272132 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Why is Cinco de Mayo--a holiday commemorating a Mexican victory over the French at Puebla in 1862--so widely celebrated in California and across the United States, when it is scarcely observed in Mexico? As David E. Hayes-Bautista explains, the holiday is not Mexican at all, but rather an American one, created by Latinos in California during the mid-nineteenth century. Hayes-Bautista shows how the meaning of Cinco de Mayo has shifted over time--it embodied immigrant nostalgia in the 1930s, U.S. patriotism during World War II, Chicano Power in the 1960s and 1970s, and commercial intentions in...

La Nueva California: Latinos from Pioneers to Post-Millennials
ISBN: 9780520292529 / Hiszpański / Twarda / 2017 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Since late 2001 more than fifty percent of the babies born in California have been Latino. When these babies reach adulthood, they will, by sheer force of numbers, influence the course of the Golden State. This essential study, based on decades of data, paints a vivid and energetic portrait of Latino society in California by providing a wealth of details about work ethic, family strengths, business establishments, and the surprisingly robust health profile that yields an average life expectancy for Latinos five years longer than that of the general population. Spanning one hundred years, this...

This book is a selection of stories from my childhood in the 60s and early 70s in a small, Northwest, mining and weaving town. This is incidental as it is about neither of those industries in particular. It is about the magic and wonderment of those days as seen through the eyes of a child - my eyes It is about the days when imagination was the biggest plaything that we possessed.

ISBN: 9780955677502 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Europe is at once geographical expression, historical creation, cultural space, and political project. In the early 21st century, it is perhaps more than any of these a site of contention involving competing visions of its identity, boundaries and future. openDemocracy, which began publication in May 2001, has tracked the arguments that have defined and divided Europe in this first decade of the millennium. In this collection of articles from our website, we present a selection of some of the outstanding reflections from the more than 200 extended contributions on this subject in our archive.
