Hombres buenos
by Arturo Pérez-ReverteUna novela apasionante que narra la heroica aventura de quienes se atrevieron a cambiar el mundo con libros. «En tiempos de oscuridad siempre hubo hombres buenos que lucharon por traer las luces y el progreso. Y otros que procuraron impedirlo.»Arturo Pérez-Reverte A finales del siglo XVIII, cuando dos miembros de la Real Academia Española, el bibliotecario don Hermógenes Molina y el almirante don Pedro Zárate, recibieron de sus compañeros el encargo de viajar a París para conseguir de forma casi clandestina los 28 volúmenes de la Encyclopédie de D'Alembert y Diderot, que estaba prohibida en España, nadie podía sospechar que los dos académicos iban a enfrentarse a una peligrosa sucesión de intrigas, a un viaje de incertidumbres y sobresaltos que los llevaría, por caminos infestados de bandoleros e incómodas ventas y posadas, desde el Madrid ilustrado de Carlos III al París de los cafés, los salones, las tertulias filosóficas, la vida libertina y las agitaciones políticas en vísperas de la Revolución francesa. Basada en hechos y personajes reales, documentada con extremo rigor, conmovedora y fascinante en cada página, Hombres buenos narra la heroica aventura de quienes, orientados por las luces de la Razón, quisieron cambiar el mundo con libros cuando el futuro arrinconaba las viejas ideas y el ansia de libertad hacía tambalearse tronos y mundos establecidos. La crítica ha dicho...«Excelente novela, quizá la que mejor le retrate como escritor e intelectual.»J. M. Pozuelo Yvancos, ABC Cultural «Una aventura de libros, ideas y amistad, con buenos y malos, una búsqueda, un itinerario jalonado por posadas, lances y emboscadas y teñido de peligros.»Jacinto Antón, Babelia «No me impedirán proclamar el disfrute que me ha producido ser parte en esta fiesta también como lector.»Darío Villanueva, Babelia «La varita mágica de Pérez-Reverte se extiende no solo a la construcción habilísima de los personajes de ficción, que caminan por la narración con la misma credibilidad que los reales, sino también a la gloriosa capacidad para exponer ideas sobre los asuntos más trascendentes, de forma sencilla y comprensible.»Marta Robles, La Gaceta Regional de Salamanca «Arturo Pérez-Reverte nos hace disfrutar de un juego inteligente entre historia y ficción.»The Times «Hay un escritor que se parece al mejor Spielberg más Umberto Eco. Se llama Arturo Pérez-Reverte.»La Repubblica «Arturo Pérez-Reverte es uno de los maestros del suspense inteligente.»Le Figaro Magazine
Hombres en guerra
by Alvah BessieLa obra maestra olvidada sobre la guerra civil española que fascinó a Ernest Hemingway. Hombres en guerra es un clásico que habla de soldados en la línea de fuego, y uno de los mejores testimonios jamás escritos sobre cualquier guerra. Su autor, Alvah Bessie, fue un escritor y periodista estadounidense que en 1938 combatió en la guerra civil española como voluntario de la Brigada Lincoln. Al volver a su país convirtió los cuadernos que había escrito durante la contienda en la base de este libro, que fue publicado en inglés en 1939 -gracias al apoyo de Ernest Hemingway-, coincidiendo con la invasión de Polonia por parte de la Alemania nazi. Pronto Bessie se convirtió en un reconocido guionista de la Warner Brothers. Sin embargo, en 1950, tras ser acusado por el macartismo de pertenecer al Partido Comunista, fue uno de los Diez de Hollywood, el grupo de personas obligadas a abandonar la industria cinematográfica. Estamos, pues, ante una obra de no ficción que posee un alto valor histórico y literario. En ella Alvah Bessie narra su llegada a España, su incorporación a la Brigada Lincoln, su adiestramiento y su participación en la batalla del Ebro; comparte con nosotros sus marchas nocturnas hasta la primera línea de fuego y los momentos de intimidad... Y al hacerlo nos ofrece un testimonio, entrañable y profundamente humano, de aquellos hombres y mujeres que vinieron de todos los rincones del mundo para luchar por una misma causa.
Hombres y Machos: Masculinity and Latino Culture
by Alfredo MirandeAlthough patriarchy, machismo, and excessive masculine displays are assumed to be prevalent among Latinos in general and Mexicans in particular, little is known about Latino men or macho masculinity. Hombres y Machos: Masculinity and Latino Culture fills an important void by providing an integrated view of Latino men, masculinity, and fatherhood?in the process refuting many common myths and misconceptions. <p>Examining how Latino men view themselves, Alfredo Mirande argues that prevailing conceptions of men, masculinity, and gender are inadequate because they are based not on universal norms but on limited and culturally specific conceptions. Findings are presented from in-depth personal interviews with Latino men (specifically, fathers with at least one child between the ages of four and eighteen living at home) from four geographical regions and from a broad cross-section of the Latino population: working and middle class, foreign-born and native-born. Topics range from views on machos and machismo to beliefs regarding masculinity and fatherhood. In addition to reporting research findings and placing them within a historical context, Mirande draws important insights from his own life. <p>Hombres y Machos calls for the development of Chicano/Latino men's studies and will be a significant and provocative addition to the growing literature on gender, masculinity, and race. It will appeal to the general reader and is bound to be an important supplementary text for courses in ethnic studies, women's studies, men's studies, family studies, sociology, psychology, social work, and law.

Home: A Time Traveller's Tales from Britain's Prehistory
by Francis PryorIn Home Francis Pryor, author of The Making of the British Landscape, archaeologist and broadcaster, takes us on his lifetime's quest: to discover the origins of family life in prehistoric BritainFrancis Pryor's search for the origins of our island story has been the quest of a lifetime. In Home, the Time Team expert explores the first nine thousand years of life in Britain, from the retreat of the glaciers to the Romans' departure. Tracing the settlement of domestic communities, he shows how archaeology enables us to reconstruct the evolution of habits, traditions and customs. But this, too, is Francis Pryor's own story: of his passion for unearthing our past, from Yorkshire to the west country, Lincolnshire to Wales, digging in freezing winters, arid summers, mud and hurricanes, through frustrated journeys and euphoric discoveries. Evocative and intimate, Home shows how, in going about their daily existence, our prehistoric ancestors created the institution that remains at the heart of the way we live now: the family.'Under his gaze, the land starts to fill with tribes and clans wandering this way and that, leaving traces that can still be seen today . . . Pryor feels the land rather than simply knowing it' - Guardian Former president of the Council for British Archaeology, Dr Francis Pryor has spent over thirty years studying our prehistory. He has excavated sites as diverse as Bronze Age farms, field systems and entire Iron Age villages. He appears frequently on TV's Time Team and is the author of The Making of the British Landscape, Seahenge, as well as Britain BC and Britain AD, both of which he adapted and presented as Channel 4 series.
Home after Fascism: Italian and German Jews after the Holocaust (The Modern Jewish Experience)
by Anna KochHome after Fascism draws on a rich array of memoirs, interviews, correspondence, and archival research to tell the stories of Italian and German Jews who returned to their home countries after the Holocaust. The book reveals Jews' complex and often changing feelings toward their former homes and highlights the ways in which three distinct national contexts—East German, West German, and Italian—shaped their answers to the question, is this home? Returning Italian and German Jews renegotiated their place in national communities that had targeted them for persecution and extermination. While most Italian Jews remained deeply attached to their home country, German Jews struggled to feel at home in the "country of murderers." Yet, some retained a sense of belonging through German culture and language or felt attached to a specific region or city. Still others looked to the future; socialist and communists of Jewish origin hoped to build a better Germany in the Soviet Occupied Zone. In all three postwar states, surviving Jews fought against persistent antisemitism, faced the challenge of recovering lost homes and possessions, struggled to make sense of their persecution, and tried to find ways to reclaim a sense of belonging. Wide ranging and moving, Home after Fascism enriches our understanding of Jews' homecoming experiences after 1945. It reveals the deep affection and persistent love people feel for their homes, the suffering that comes with losing them, and the challenges of a return.
Home and Away: Lived Experience in Performative Narratives (Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies)
by Leigh Anne HowardHome and Away explores how performative writing serve as a process that critically interrogates space/place in relation to personal, social, cultural, and political understanding. By combining aesthetic expression and inquiry with critical reflection, the contributors in this volume use a variety of narrative strategies—autoethnography, mystoriography, creative cartography, the lyric essay, fictocriticism, collage, the screenplay, and poetics—to position place as the starting point for the aesthetic impulse. The anthology showcases the power and potential of performative writing to illustrate the ways we interact with and in place; provides examples of the ways one can express lived experience; and demonstrates the ways discourses overlap while extending our understanding of identity and place, whether one is home or away. Although the chapters are fixed by their literary form in this volume, many of chapters are best realized in a performance or shared publicly via an oral tradition. This collection will be of great interest to students and scholars in performance, communication studies, and literature.
Home and Community: Lessons from a Modernist Housing Scheme
by Sandra Costa Santos Nadia Bertolino Stephen Hicks Camilla Lewis Vanessa MayExamining the relationships between architecture, home and community in the Claremont Court housing scheme in Edinburgh, Home and Community provides a novel perspective on the enabling potential of architecture that encompasses physical, spatial, relational and temporal phenomena. Based on the AHRC funded project "Place and Belonging", the chapters draw on innovative spatial layouts amid Scottish policymakers' concerns of social change in the 1960s, to develop theoretical understandings between architecture, home, and community. By approaching the discourse on home, and by positioning the home at the confluence of a network of sociocultural identities bound by spatial awareness and design, the writers draw on sociological interpretations of cultural negotiation as well as theoretical underpinnings in architectural design. In so doing, they suggest a reinterpretation of the facilitating role of architecture as sensitive to physical and socio-cultural reconstruction. Drawn from interviews with residents, architectural surveys, contextual mapping and other visual methods, Home and Community explores home as a construct that is enmeshed with the architectural affordances that the housing scheme represents, that is useful to both architecture and sociology students, as well as practitioners and urban planners.
Home and Exile
by Chinua AchebeMore personally revealing than anything Achebe has written, "Home and Exile"--the great Nigerian novelist's first book in more than ten years--is a major statement on the importance of stories as real sources of power, especially for those whose stories have traditionally been told by outsiders. In three elegant essays, Achebe seeks to rescue African culture from narratives written about it by Europeans. Looking through the prism of his experiences as a student in English schools in Nigeria, he provides devastating examples of European cultural imperialism. He examines the impact that his novel "Things Fall Apart" had on efforts to reclaim Africa's story. And he argues for the importance of writing and living the African experience because, he believes, Africa needs stories told by Africans.
Home and Homeland in Asian Diaspora: Transnational Reflections in Art, Literature, and Film
by Kyunghee Pyun Jean AmatoWhile many of us may strive to locate a sense of identity and belonging expressed via a home or ancestral homeland; today, however, this connection is no longer, if it ever was, a straightforward identification. This collection aims at mapping narratives or artwork of home/homeland that present shared, private, multifaceted, and often contested experiences of place, especially in the context of today’s migrations and upheavals, along with alarming degrees of increased nativism, racism, and anti-Asian violence. This volume includes papers by artists, filmmakers, and comparative scholars from diverse disciplines of literature, cinema, art history, cultural studies, and gender studies. Our goal is to help literary and art historian scholars in Asian diaspora studies, better decolonize and open up traditional research methodologies, curricula, and pedagogies.
The Home and the World
by Rabindranath TagoreSet on a Bengali noble's estate in 1908, this is both a love story and a novel of political awakening. The central character, Bimala, is torn between the duties owed to her husband, Nikhil, and the demands made on her by the radical leader, Sandip. Her attempts to resolve the irreconciliable pressures of the home and world reflect the conflict in India itself, and the tragic outcome foreshadows the unrest that accompanied Partition in 1947.
A Home Away from Home: Mutual Aid, Political Activism, and Caribbean American Identity
by Tyesha MaddoxA Home Away from Home examines the significance of Caribbean American mutual aid societies and benevolent associations to the immigrant experience, particularly their implications for the formation of a Pan-Caribbean American identity and Black diasporic politics.At the turn of the twentieth century, New York City exploded with the establishment of mutual aid societies and benevolent associations. Caribbean immigrants, especially women, eager to find their place in a bustling new world, created these organizations, including the West Indian Benevolent Association of New York City, founded in 1884. They served as forums for discussions on Caribbean American affairs, hosted cultural activities, and provided newly arrived immigrants with various forms of support, including job and housing assistance, rotating lines of credit, help in the naturalization process, and its most popular function—sickness and burial assistance. In examining the number of these organizations, their membership, and the functions they served, Tyesha Maddox argues that mutual aid societies not only fostered a collective West Indian ethnic identity among immigrants from specific islands, but also strengthened kinship networks with those back home in the Caribbean. Especially important to these processes were Caribbean women such as Elizabeth Hendrickson, co-founder of the American West Indian Ladies’ Aid Society in 1915 and the Harlem Tenants’ League in 1928.Immigrant involvement in mutual aid societies also strengthened the belief that their own fate was closely intertwined with the social, economic, and political welfare of the Black international community. A Home Away from Home demonstrates how Caribbean American mutual aid societies and benevolent associations in many ways became proto-Pan-Africanist organizations.
Home-based Work in Victorian Britain: Insights for Contemporary Occupational Health and Safety
by Gillian JosephHome- based work has increased in recent decades and intensified as a result of policies created to control the spread of COVID-19, creating a labour market in rapid transition. Yet little attention has been paid to the issues associated with occupational health and safety or to how employers will monitor and maintain employee health and safety in a home- based work environment. Using historical case studies from Victorian Britain, this book reflects on the past to examine resurfacing health and safety concerns that shaped, and continue to shape, the home- based working experience. Anchored by family research case studies, this book presents documents and newspaper accounts about the diverse experiences of three real people who lived and worked from their homes in the Victorian era. Supported by academic and popular literature on work and policy about the era, the book discusses changing worldviews and social context that shaped occupational health and safety at the time and critiques the outcomes of policies that were challenged to address these risks. The case study experiences are used as a touchstone between the past and present to draw parallels between important health and safety concerns that may be resurfacing in our modern post-COVID transition to home-based work. This book will be a valuable resource for researchers, academics and postgraduate students of occupational health and safety, occupational science, labour history and human resource management, as well as Victorian studies. It will also be of interest to policymakers and practitioners working across the fields of workplace and occupational health and safety.
Home Before Morning: The Story of an Army Nurse in Vietnam
by Lynda Van Devanter Christopher MorganLynda Van Devanter was the girl next door, the cheerleader who went to Catholic schools, enjoyed sports, and got along well with her four sisters and parents. After high school she attended nursing school and then did something that would shatter her secure world for the rest of her life: in 1969, she joined the army and was shipped to Vietnam. When she arrived in Vietnam her idealistic view of the war vanished quickly. She worked long and arduous hours in cramped, ill-equipped, understaffed operating rooms. She saw friends die. Witnessing a war close-up, operating on soldiers and civilians whose injuries were catastrophic, she found the very foundations of her thinking changing daily. <P><P> After one traumatic year, she came home, a Vietnam veteran. Coming home was nearly as devastating as the time she spent in Asia. Nothing was the same ― including Lynda herself. Viewed by many as a murderer instead of a healer, she felt isolated and angry. The anger turned to depression; like many other Vietnam veterans she suffered from delayed stress syndrome. Working in hospitals brought back chilling scenes of hopelessly wounded soldiers. A marriage ended in divorce. The war that was fought physically halfway around the world had become a personal, internal battle.<P> Home before Morning is the story of a woman whose courage, stamina, and personal history make this a compelling autobiography. It is also the saga of others who went to war to aid the wounded and came back wounded ― physically and emotionally ― themselves. And, it is the true story of one person's triumphs: her understanding of, and coming to terms with, her destiny.

Home Before the Leaves Fall
by Ian SeniorThe German invasion of France and Belgium in August 1914 came within an ace of defeating the French armies, capturing Paris, and ending the First World War before the autumn leaves had fallen. But the German armies failed to score the knock-out blow they had planned. The war would drag on for four years of unprecedented slaughter. There are many accounts of 1914 from the British point of view. The achievements of the British Expeditionary Force were the stuff of legend, but in reality there were only four divisions in the field; the French and Germans had more than 60 each. The real story of the battle can only be told by an author with the skill to mine the extensive German and French archives. Ian Senior does this with consummate skill, weaving together strategic analysis with diary entries and interview transcripts from the soldiers on the ground to create a remarkable new history. In addition, all previous classic histories on the subject either focus virtually exclusively on the British experiences or are now very out-of-date such as Barbara Tuchman's Guns of August (1962) or Sewell Tyng's Campaign of the Marne (1935).Supported by up numerous sketch maps, extensive archival research and poignant first-hand accounts, Home before the leaves fall is an accessible, narrative account of the German invasion that came within an ace of victory, that long hot summer.
Home Below Hell's Canyon
by Grace JordanDuring the depression days of the early 1930s the Jordan family—Len Jordan (later governor of Idaho and a United States senator), his wife Grace, and their three small children—moved to an Idaho sheep ranch in the Snake River gorge just below Hell's Canyon, the deepest scratch on the face of North America. "Cut off from the world for months at a time, the Jordans became virtually self-sufficient. Short of cash but long on courage, they raised and preserved their food, made their own soap, and educated their children."—Sterling North, New York World-Telegram"Home Below Hell's Canyon is valuable because it writes a little-known way of life into the national chronicle. We are put in touch with the kind of people who set the country on its feet and in the generations since have kept it there. . . . Primarily it is a book of courage and effort tempered by the warmth of those who trust in goodness and practice it."—Christian Science Monitor“The thrilling story of a modern pioneer family. . . . An intensely human account filled with fun, courage and rich family life.”—Seattle Post Intelligencer
Home Beyond the House: Transformation of Life, Place, and Tradition in Rural China (Explorations in Housing Studies)
by Wei ZhaoBased on extended fieldwork conducted between 2007 and 2019, this book aims to answer a simple question: What is the meaning of home for people living in vernacular settlements in rural China? This question is particularly potent since rural China has experienced rapid and fundamental changes in the twenty-first century under the influences of national policies such as "Building a New Socialist Countryside" enacted in 2006 and "Rural Revitalization" announced in 2018. Drawing upon ethnographic fieldwork, building surveys, archival research, and over 600 photographs taken by residents along with their life stories, this book uncovers the meanings of home from rural residents’ perspectives, who belong to a social group that is underrepresented in scholarship and underserved in modern China. In other words, this study empowers rural residents by giving them voice. This book links the concepts of place, home, and tradition into an overarching argument: The meaning of home rests on the ideas of tradition, including identity, consanguinity, collectivity, social relations, land ownership, and rural lifestyle.
Home Bound: Filipino American Lives Across Cultures, Communities, and Countries
by Yen Le EspirituFilipino Americans, who experience life in the United States as immigrants, colonized nationals, and racial minorities, have been little studied, though they are one of our largest immigrant groups. Based on her in-depth interviews with more than one hundred Filipinos in San Diego, California, Yen Le Espiritu investigates how Filipino women and men are transformed through the experience of migration, and how they in turn remake the social world around them. Her sensitive analysis reveals that Filipino Americans confront U.S. domestic racism and global power structures by living transnational lives that are shaped as much by literal and symbolic ties to the Philippines as they are by social, economic, and political realities in the United States. Espiritu deftly weaves vivid first-person narratives with larger social and historical contexts as she discovers the meaning of home, community, gender, and intergenerational relations among Filipinos. Among other topics, she explores the ways that female sexuality is defined in contradistinction to American mores and shows how this process becomes a way of opposing racial subjugation in this country. She also examines how Filipinos have integrated themselves into the American workplace and looks closely at the effects of colonialism.

by Mary Pettit Gail H. Corbett Marjorie Kohli Kenneth BagnellIn the early years after Confederation in Canada, the rising nation needed workers that could take advantage of the abundant resources. Until the time of the Depression, 100,000 impoverished children from the British Isles were sent overseas by well-meaning philanthropists to solve the colony’s farm-labour shortage.

This bundle of titles tells the entire story from many angles and in its many facets, from historical recounting, to genealogical information, to the personal story one such child, Mary Janeway.
