Intermitente Rafaela
by Mariana FuriasseLa entrañable voz de Rafaela regresa para contar su último año de secundaria. Con una escritura profunda y reflexiva, Mariana Furiasse ahonda en los miedos y las inseguridades de un personaje que se abre paso en el mundo, que duda, se asoma y avanza, intermitente, con luz propia. Pasó tiempo hasta que pude volver a escribir. Me quedé sin palabras cuando Simón se borró. Y el dolor fue tan fuerte que por momentos quise desaparecer. Porque lo que más me pesa es la ausencia. Más que los kilos, más que las miradas. Primero, papá. Después, Simón. Pareciera que si ellos no están, yo tampoco. Tantas veces esperé que alguien pueda verme y nada. Pero al final me vi. Me dibujé con la mirada y me sentí viva. Dejé de esperar y empecé a hacer. Y acá estoy, hablando con León, el nuevo del curso. Esta que se anima se parece más a mí que cualquier otra. Bienvenida, Rafaela Rivera.

International Relations
by Close up Foundation StaffChanges in international relations--how countries relate to one another, how they work together, and how they conflict-- occur gradually and are the culmination of many complicated factors and events. However, some events in history are so monumental that they have come to represent years of progressive change. In the public's collective memory, the images surrounding these events may also come to symbolize the moment in time in which one era ended and the next began. Events from the Cold War and post-Cold War eras reflect this phenomenon.
International Velvet
by Bryan ForbesVelvet Brown made history when, against all the odds, she won the Grand National on a horse bought with a raffle ticket. But the years have flown and the Velvet of today is a very different person from that fourteen-year-old girl. Inspired by Enid Bagnold's classic story National Velvet, Bryan Forbes has written an imaginative sequel, this time set in the highly competitive world of international equestrian events--tests of courage and skill which lead, for the lucky few, to that summit of every rider's ambition, the Olympic Games. It is a story told on many levels, tracing an ambition passed down through the generations, and the conflicts that ambition produces. Velvet's attempts to relive her own past through Sarah, her young orphaned niece, bring her face to face with what she has become. In this heartwarming account of a woman seeking to find herself again, and a child struggling towards maturity, the author builds to an exciting climax which highlights the enormous pressures demanded of those who attempt to succeed in international sport. International Velvet is now a major MGM film, produced and directed by Bryan Forbes, starring Tatum O'Neal, Christopher Plummer, Anthony Hopkins and Nanette Newman.

Intervention
by Mia KerickAs a musician at the popular college café Coed Joe's, high school senior Kai Manter is never lacking for male attention. Out, proud, free-spirited, and sexually aware, Kai sets his sights on his darkly Gothic and undeniably bad-tempered coworker, Jamie Arlotta, a freshman at the local arts university. Sporting long hair and alluring hippie style, Kai expects his interest will be reciprocated, with satisfying sex as the end goal. That's what usually happens. But Jamie's lessons in life have been harsher. Having been sexually abused by his older stepbrother for several years, Jamie has grown an impenetrable outer shell meant to keep the world at a safe distance. Kai is angry at first when he takes the brunt of Jamie's bad temper, but after Kai accidentally discovers the abuse Jamie has suffered, he wants to fix things. Kai's plan is based on what he knows best--music--and he stages a "musical intervention" to let Jamie know he's not alone and things can get better. When Jamie's perspective changes and he emerges from his shell, Kai changes, too, gaining a whole new understanding of what sex can be when love is there too.

Intimate Frontiers: Sex, Gender, and Culture in Old California (Histories of the American Frontier)
by Albert L. Hurtado<p>This book reveals how powerful undercurrents of sex, gender, and culture helped shape the history of the American frontier from the 1760s to the 1850s. Looking at California under three flags--those of Spain, Mexico, and the United States--Hurtado resurrects daily life in the missions, at mining camps, on overland trails and sea journeys, and in San Francisco. In these settings Hurtado explores courtship, marriage, reproduction, and family life as a way to understand how men and women--whether Native American, Anglo American, Hispanic, Chinese, or of mixed blood--fit into or reshaped the roles and identities set by their race and gender. <p>Hurtado introduces two themes in delineating his intimate frontiers. One was a libertine California, and some of its delights were heartily described early in the 1850s: "[Gold] dust was plentier than pleasure, pleasure more enticing than virtue. Fortune was the horse, youth in the saddle, dissipation the track, and desire the spur." Not all the times were good or giddy, and in the tragedy of a teenage domestic who died in a botched abortion or a brutalized Indian woman we see the seamy underside of gender relations on the frontier. The other theme explored is the reaction of citizens who abhorred the loss of moral standards and sought to suppress excess. Their efforts included imposing all the stabilizing customs of whichever society dominated California--during the Hispanic period, arranged marriages and concern for family honor were the norm; among the Anglos, laws regulated prostitution, missionaries railed against vices, and "proper" women were brought in to help "civilize" the frontier.</p>
