Hunger Of Memory: The Education Of Richard Rodriguez
by Richard RodriguezHunger of Memory is the story of Mexican-American Richard Rodriguez, who begins his schooling in Sacramento, California, knowing just 50 words of English, and concludes his university studies in the stately quiet of the reading room of the British Museum. Here is the poignant journey of a "minority student" who pays the cost of his social assimilation and academic success with a painful alienation - from his past, his parents, his culture - and so describes the high price of "making it" in middle-class America. Provocative in its positions on affirmative action and bilingual education, Hunger of Memory is a powerful political statement, a profound study of the importance of language . . . and the moving, intimate portrait of a boy struggling to become a man. From the Paperback edition. Note: The author uses British punctuation.

I'm Learning Japanese!
by Christian GalanThis is a fun and entertaining beginner level children's Japanese language book (9 years old and up) that is also appropriate for adults. <P><P>I'm learning Japanese takes a light-hearted approach to the Japanese language by using fun anime-style manga characters to teach Japanese. However, it does not scrimp on content and covers everything from Japanese kanji, kana and grammar to Japanese culture and customs. The book starts out with the main characters, Emily, Nico and Teo sitting on the grass after school, minding their own business, when--unbelievable!--a giant talking fox dressed in a kimono appears. Explaining that he knows magic, speaks 3,000 languages and is respected as a sensei (master), he wonders if the three kids are ready to learn Japanese from him. <P> During the next 128 amusing pages the three friends learn to speak Japanese, read Japanese and write japanese. . . along with taking breaks to try Japanese hot-spring baths, sumo wrestling, Zen meditation and more. Focusing on exactly what the 9 to 13-year-old learner wants to know, this book is carefully set up to allow them to learn Japanese independently, at their own speed, without an adult's help. <P>Every page of I'm Learning Japanese! is in full color and the illustrated comic book-approach, with its speech bubbles and funny side remarks, makes the learning seem to fly. It gives preteens a fun grounding in the language, and one that's accurate and practical. Nothing they learn here is "watered down" or will ever need to be unlearned, should they continue on with their Japanese language studies in school or later in life.

Iambic Poetics in the Roman Empire
by Tom HawkinsThis is the first book to study the impact of invective poetics associated with early Greek iambic poetry on Roman imperial authors and audiences. It demonstrates how authors as varied as Ovid and Gregory Nazianzen wove recognizable elements of the iambic tradition (e. g. meter, motifs, or poetic biographies) into other literary forms (e. g. elegy, oratorical prose, anthologies of fables), and it shows that the humorous, scurrilous, efficacious aggression of Archilochus continued to facilitate negotiations of power and social relations long after Horace's Epodes. The eclectic approach encompasses Greek and Latin, prose and poetry, and exploratory interludes appended to each chapter help to open four centuries of later classical literature to wider debates about the function, propriety and value of the lowest and most debated poetic form from archaic Greece. Each chapter presents a unique variation on how these imperial authors became Archilochus – however briefly and to whatever end.
Iberia negra: Textos para otra historia de la diáspora africana (siglos XVI y XVII)
by Diana Berruezo-Sánchez Manuel Olmedo Gobante Cornesha TweedeIberia negra provides textual and methodological resources to investigate and study the African Diaspora and early modern Iberian Studies with a transatlantic and global perspective. This unique and timely volume renovates the study of Black African lives in the Iberian Peninsula during the 16th and 17th centuries, contextualizing and illuminating Afro-Iberian experiences and representations through unpublished or little-known documents. Across twelve chapters, Iberia negra explores the Afro-Iberian presence and the construction of Black identity in the Iberian Peninsula through the era’s social practices and cultural representations. In dialogue with a vast critical production from different disciplines such as philology, history, anthropology, musicology, cultural studies, and Black and race studies, this volume offers a more complex vision of Black Iberia, moving away from stereotypes and giving an account of the life experiences of Black men and women.Iberia negra covers an existing gap in current academic production: within one comprehensive volume, it unites disciplines that until now have dealt with aspects of the diaspora but without dialogue between each other and it also allows access to a broad spectrum of texts on the diaspora in the Iberian Peninsula. With this double objective, Iberia negra is a fruitful resource for graduate and undergraduate students of Spanish, History, and Race, and for professors and researchers in these areas.Iberia negra propociona recursos textuales y metodológicos para estudiar y enseñar la diáspora africana y los estudios ibéricos modernos con una perspectiva transatlántica y global. Este volumen tan pertinente como único renueva nuestro conocimiento sobre las vidas de las personas negras de la Península Ibérica durante los siglos XVI y XVII, contextualizando e ilustrando las experiencias y representaciones afroibéricas con documentos inéditos o poco conocidos.A lo largo de doce capítulos, Iberia negra explora la presencia afroibérica y la construcción de la identidad negra en la Península Ibérica a través de las prácticas sociales y las representaciones culturales de la época. En diálogo con una vasta producción crítica procedente de diferentes disciplinas como la filología, la historia, la antropología, la musicología, los estudios culturales y los estudios negros y de raza, este volumen ofrece una visión profunda y compleja de la Iberia negra, alejándose de los estereotipos y dando cuenta de las experiencias vitales de las personas negras.Iberia negra cubre una laguna en la producción académica actual. Integra en un volumen disciplinas que han tratado aspectos de la diáspora sin apenas dialogar entre ellas hasta ahora. Además, permite acceder a un amplio espectro de textos sobre la diáspora en la Península Ibérica. Con este doble objetivo, Iberia negra constituye un fructífero recurso para estudiantes de grado y posgrado de español, historia y temas relacionado con la raza, así como para profesores e investigadores de estas áreas.
