Una historia de las mujeres que han encarnado el mal, llena de humor e inteligencia, por la autora de Frida Kahlo y El placer, con más de 200.000 lectores TODAS #MALASMUJERES UNO DE LOS DIEZ LIBROS MÁS ESPERADOS DE 2022 SEGÚN ESQUIRE NI LOCAS, NI TONTAS, NI PROVOCADORAS, NI FATALES: ¡MUJERES, BIENVENIDAS AL AQUELARRE! Desde la aparición de los primeros mitos, lo universal ha sido la narración de los hombres, esa visión masculina que dibujó a unos y a otras, nos dijo cómo debíamos ser -puras, dóciles, amorosas- y previno al mundo de las malas mujeres, ya fueran vengativas gorgonas, crueles madrastras, problemáticas Pandoras o Evas incautas que cargaron con la culpa de nuestro destino. En su personalísima versión, María Hesse da una vuelta de tuerca a esas princesas pasivas, brujas perversas, malas madres, femmes fatales, locas pasionales y secundarias perfectas, y, de Madame Bovary a Sarah Connor, de Juana «la Loca» a Yoko Ono, de Helena de Troya a Monica Lewinsky, de Medusa a Zahara o a Nevenka, reivindica la necesidad de encontrar otros referentes, nuevas lecturas de la Historia e inspiración para ser simplemente mujeres en el mundo en que vivimos. «Ahora sabemos que no hay que tener miedo a salirse de esas líneas caprichosas que otros marcaron, y que las que abrieron esas grietas buscando otros horizontes no estaban locas, ni eran perversas ni malos ejemplos para otras. Si acaso fueron mujeres valientes, fuertes, atrevidas, decididas. Rompedoras. Y si las llaman malas mujeres que se lo llamen; las paredes han caído y nosotras ya no estaremos ahí para oírlo». —María Hesse ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A story of women who have embodied evil, full of humor and intellect, by the author of Frida Kahlo and Pleasure, with more than 200,000 readers. ONE OF THE TEN MOST AWAITED BOOKS OF 2022 ACCORDING TO ESQUIRE Since the arrival of the first myths, the narrative told by men has been universally accepted, that masculine vision that drew up people, told us how we should be -pure, docile, loving- and warned the world of bad women, whether they were vengeful gorgons, cruel stepmothers, troublesome Pandoras, or unsuspecting Eves who took the blame for our fate. In her very personal version, María Hesse gives a twist to those passive princesses, perverse witches, bad mothers, femmes fatales, and passionate madwomen; and from Madame Bovary to Sarah Connor, from Juana ‘la Loca’ to Yoko Ono, from Helen of Troy to Monica Lewinsky, from Medusa to Zahara or Nevenka, vindicates the need to find other models, new readings of History and inspiration to simply be women in the world in which we live. “Now we know that we shouldn’t be afraid to step outside of those lines that others created, and that those who opened those small cracks looking for other horizons were not crazy, nor were they perverse or bad examples for others. If anything, they were brave, strong, daring, determined women. Pioneers. And if they call them bad women, let them; the walls have fallen, and we will no longer be there to hear it.” —Maria Hesse

How were femininity and motherhood understood in Mexican cinema from the 1940s to the early 1990s? Film analysis, interviews with filmmakers, academic articles and film reviews from newspapers are used to answer the question and trace the changes in such depictions. Images of mothers in films by so-called third-wave filmmakers (Busi Cortes, Maria Novaro, Dana Rotberg and Marisa Sistach) are contrasted with those in Mexican classical films (1935-1950) and films from the 1970s and 1980s. There are some surprising conclusions. The most important restrictions in the depiction of mothers in classical cinema came not from the strict sexual norms of the 1940s but in reactions to women shown as having autonomous identities. Also, in contrast to classical films, third-wave films show a woman's problems within a social dimension, making motherhood political--in relation not to militancy within the left but to women's issues. Third-wave films approach the problems of Latin American society as those of individuals differentiated by gender, sexuality and ethnicity; in such films mothers are citizens directly affected by laws, economic policies and cultural beliefs.

Powered by a driving beat, clever lyrics, and assertive attitudes, rap music and hip hop culture have engrossed American youth since the mid-1980s. Although the first rappers were African Americans, rap and hip hop culture quickly spread to other ethnic groups who have added their own cultural elements to the music. Chicano Rap offers the first in-depth look at how Chicano/a youth have adopted and adapted rap music and hip hop culture to express their views on gender and violence, as well as on how Chicano/a youth fit into a globalizing world. Pancho McFarland examines over five hundred songs and seventy rap artists from all the major Chicano rap regions—San Diego, San Francisco and Northern California, Texas, and Chicago and the Midwest. He discusses the cultural, political, historical, and economic contexts in which Chicano rap has emerged and how these have shaped the violence and misogyny often expressed in Chicano rap and hip hop. In particular, he argues that the misogyny and violence of Chicano rap are direct outcomes of the "patriarchal dominance paradigm" that governs human relations in the United States. McFarland also explains how globalization, economic restructuring, and the conservative shift in national politics have affected Chicano/a youth and Chicano rap. He concludes with a look at how Xicana feminists, some Chicano rappers, and other cultural workers are striving to reach Chicano/a youth with a democratic, peaceful, empowering, and liberating message.

The spread of the Internet is remaking marriage markets, altering the process of courtship and the geographic trajectory of intimacy in the 21st century. For some Latin American women and U.S. men, the advent of the cybermarriage industry offers new opportunities for re-making themselves and their futures, overthrowing the common narrative of trafficking and exploitation. In this engaging, stimulating virtual ethnography, Felicity Amaya Schaeffer follows couples’ romantic interludes at “Vacation Romance Tours,” in chat rooms, and interviews married couples in the United States in order to understand the commercialization of intimacy. While attending to the interplay between the everyday and the virtual, Love and Empire contextualizes personal desires within the changing global economic and political shifts across the Americas. By examining current immigration policies and the use of Mexican and Colombian women as erotic icons of the nation in the global marketplace, she forges new relations between intimate imaginaries and state policy in the making of new markets, finding that women’s erotic self-fashioning is the form through which women become ideal citizens, of both their home countries and in the United States. Through these little-explored, highly mediated romantic exchanges, Love and Empire unveils a fresh perspective on the continually evolving relationship between the U.S. and Latin America.

Author Boyé Lafayette De Mente [known internationally known for his books on the business practices, customs and languages of China, Japan, Korea and Mexico] asserts that most people are ignorant of the amazing cultural heritage and character of the Mexican people. He says that when most people think of great cultural accomplishments they think of Europe and when they think of the exotic and perhaps the erotic they think of the Orient, while unknown to them they have overlooked one of the most unusual and fascinating countries on earth. De Mente uses key words in the Mexican language to identify and explain the contradictions and paradoxes of Mexico—the omnipresent trappings of Catholicism, the macho-cult of Mexican males, the conflicting treatment of females, the savage brutality of the criminal and the rogue cop, the gentle humility of the poor farmer, the warmth, kindness and compassion of the average city dweller and the extreme sensuality of the Mexican mindset. The book also explains why Mexicans are so attached to the culture and why so many foreigners find it so seductive and satisfying that they prefer to live in Mexico.

TODAS #MALASMUJERES UNO DE LOS DIEZ LIBROS MÁS ESPERADOS DE 2022 SEGÚN ESQUIRE Y DE LOS MEJORES DEL AÑO SEGÚN TRENDENCIAS NI LOCAS, NI TONTAS, NI PROVOCADORAS, NI FATALES: ¡MUJERES, BIENVENIDAS AL AQUELARRE!

Si acaso fueron mujeres valientes, fuertes, atrevidas, decididas. Rompedoras. Y si las llaman malas mujeres que se lo llamen; las paredes han caído y nosotras ya no estaremos ahí para oírlo». María Hesse La crítica ha dicho: «Con unas ilustraciones bellísimas y repletas de personalidad, su nuevo libro recupera la vida de las "malas mujeres" en una burla irónica e inteligente [...] porque igual no fueron malas mujeres, sino mujeres valientes, fuertes y rompedoras que merecen que Maria Hesse cuente (y dibuje) su historia.» Alberto Hernando, Esquire «La andaluza propone en sus páginas nuevos horizontes para todas ellas y reivindica la necesidad de una nueva lectura en la que se puedan hallar referentes. [Con este libro] abre la ventana a su particular aquelarre, donde se reúnen todas aquellas mujeres a las que tacharon de ser la personificación del mal a lo largo de la historia.» Lara Gómez Ruiz, La Vanguardia «La mejor forma de romper los estereotipos es dar la información suficiente como para que las mujeres puedan saber de lo que se habla. [...] La historia la han contado los hombres [y] nos interesa mucho la mirada de estas Malas mujeres.» Manuel Pedraz, Historias de Papel (RTVE) «La mirada feminista [de Hesse] trenzando dibujos y textos que revisan el relato que la historia ha hecho de la mujer y su papel en la sociedad. [...] Un espectador que, de primeras, puede creer que sus ilustraciones son, por lo colorido y sus formas, inocentes, [...] pero María pisa y pinta firme.» María Paredes, The Objective «[Hesse] da un paseo por la historia de la humanidad para volver a poner sobre la mesa a esas mujeres que con su vida, sus actos o sus pensamientos abrieron camino, aún sin saberlo, para que los derechos de la mujer sigan ganando la batalla al machismo.» Pilar Martín, EFE «Una de las ilustradoras con más personalidad que hay ahora mismo en España.» Más de uno (Onda Cero) «María Hesse es uno de esos nuevos diamantes en bruto de la ilustración.» Harper's Bazaar

In the past ten years, literature by U.S. Latinos has gained an extraordinary public currency and has engendered a great deal of interest among educators. Because of the increase in numbers of Latinos in their classrooms, teachers have recognized the benefits of including works by such important writers as Sandra Cisneros, Julia Alvarez, and Rudolfo Anaya in the curriculum. Without a guide, introducing courses on U.S. Latino literature or integrating individual works into the general courses on American Literature can be difficult for the uninitiated. While some critical sources for students and teachers are available, none are dedicated exclusively to this important body of writing. To fill the gap, the editors of this volume commissioned prominent scholars in the field to write 18 essays that focus on using U.S. Latino literature in the classroom. The selection of the subject texts was developed in conjunction with secondary school teachers who took part in the editors' course. This resultant volume focuses on major works that are appropriate for high school and undergraduate study including Judith Ortiz Cofer's The Latin Deli, Piri Thomas' Down These Mean Streets, and Cisneros' The House on Mango Street. Each chapter in this Critical Guide provides pertinent biographical background on the author as well as contextual information that aids in understanding the literary and cultural significance of the work. The most valuable component of the critical essays, the Analysis of Themes and Forms, helps the reader understand the thematic concerns raised by the work, particularly the recurring issues of language expression and cultural identity, assimilation, and intergenerational conflicts. Each essay is followed by specific suggestions for teaching the work with topics for classroom discussion. Further enhancing the value of this work as a teaching tool are the selected bibliographies of criticism, further reading, and other related sources that complete each chapter. Teachers will also find a Sample Course Outline of U.S. Latino Literature which serves as guide for developing a course on this important subject.
