"Sarah Hirschman's book is ... really a manifesto for an approach to education that does all these more human, more important things." -Danielle Allen, Professor, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey "I'd love to see People and Stories programs for the parents of children in every at-risk school district in the country." -Robert Hass, US Poet Laureate, 1995-1997 People and Stories / Gente y Cuentos describes how men and women on welfare or in rehabilitation centers, prisoners, rural workers, disadvantaged youth, or just ordinary community members are offered the chance to experience literature in a way they have not been able to in the past. Founded by Sarah Hirschman, People and Stories / Gente y Cuentos encompasses groups of common, often under-served adults in the United States, France, and Colombia who enjoy reading and discussing works of literature. Upon attending a seminar with the philosopher, Paulo Freire, and working with groups in New York's Lower East Side and Dorchester, Massachusetts, she created Gente y Cuentos in Spanish. Some years later, the English-language People and Stories program was added. Currently, Gens et Recits in French is being developed in Paris and in the southwest of France. This book describes the various influences that led to the development of this method. The clarity of the explanations and the attention to detail should help those who want to organize similar discussion groups in their own communities."

We are publishing this special bilingual edition after receiving many petitions from readers who like the original Spanish edition but also enjoyed reading the English translation. WHEN CRUMBS FALL AND OTHER STORIES FOR PEOPLE IN A RUSH is the English edition for CUENTOS PARA GENTE CON PRISA. I am sharing, with anyone who wants to be a reader and at the same time author, this book of eleven stories to understand together the complexity of the human environment from an individual or a collective perspective.The similarity of human behavior is portrayed in the writing of these stories that have occurred, occur, and may occur in Bogotá, San Juan de Puerto Rico, Washington, DC or any other place in the world. The basic rules of life have been modified in modern cities and the acts that we had once taken for granted as the simplest of our human reality have become so complicated that it is necessary to hire experts to help us. This is how today we have those looking for us the ideal sentimental partner, advise us on the use of our clothes or indicate the correct way to smile. The stories featured in WHEN CRUMBS FALL AND OTHER STORIES FOR PEOPLE IN A RUSH get to the point and generate reflections based on the reader's background. In this attempt, the author pretends that the simple act of reading a book does not become an impossible event where another expert would be needed. ESPAÑOL Publicamos esta edición bilingüe después de recibir muchas peticiones de lectores a quienes les gustó leer la edición original en español pero también disfrutaron de la traducción al inglés. Para todos los que solicitaron esta edición, ¡aquí la tienen! Comparto, con quien quiera ser lector y a la vez autor, este libro de 11 cuentos para juntos entender mejor la complejidad del entorno humano desde una perspectiva tanto individual como colectiva. Queda retratada en la redacción de estas historias la similitud de la conducta humana, no importa si han ocurrido, ocurren y pueden ocurrir en Bogotá, San Juan de Puerto Rico, Washington, DC y cualquier otro punto geográfico del planeta. La sencillez de la vida ha sido alterada en las urbes modernas y, los actos que en algún momento dimos por sentado como los más elementales de nuestra realidad humana, se han vuelto tan complicados que es necesario contratar expertos para socorrernos. Es así como hoy tenemos especialistas que nos buscan la pareja sentimental ideal, nos asesoran en el uso de nuestra vestimenta o nos diseñan e indican la manera correcta de sonreír. Las historias que aparecen en CUENTOS PARA GENTE CON PRISA van al grano y provocan reflexiones humanas conforme el trasfondo del lector. En este intento el autor solo procura que el simple acto de leer un libro no se transforme en un evento imposible que necesite otro experto.

Public reading programs are flourishing in many Latin American cities in the new millennium. They defy the conception of reading as solitary and private by literally taking literature to the streets to create new communities of readers. From institutional and official to informal and spontaneous, the reading programs all use public space, distribute creative writing to a mass public, foster collective rather than individual reading, and provide access to literature in unconventional arenas. The first international study of contemporary print culture in the Americas, Public Pages reveals how recent cultural policy and collective literary reading intervene in public space to promote social integration in cities in Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Chile. Marcy Schwartz looks at broad institutional programs such as UNESCO World Book Capital campaigns and the distribution of free books on public transportation, as well as local initiatives that produce handmade books out of recycled materials (known as cartoneras) and display banned books at former military detention centers. She maps the connection between literary reading and the development of cultural citizenship in Latin America, with municipalities, cultural centers, and groups of ordinary citizens harnessing reading as an activity both social and literary. Along with other strategies for reclaiming democracy after decades of authoritarian regimes and political violence, as well as responding to neoliberal economic policies, these acts of reading collectively in public settings invite civic participation and affirm local belonging.

Winner, 2023 Best Book Award, Italian Association for the History of Economic Thought One of the most original social scientists of the twentieth century, Albert O. Hirschman led an uncommonly dramatic life. After fleeing Nazi Germany as a youth, he fought in the Spanish Civil War, took part in antifascist activities in Italy, and organized an underground rescue operation in Marseille through which more than 2,000 people, including Marc Chagall, Arthur Koestler, and Hannah Arendt, escaped Europe. Hirschman moved across topics, methodologies, and disciplinary boundaries as fluidly as he did among countries and languages. His work is marked by a deep suspicion of all-encompassing theories, valuing instead doubt and a sensitivity to contingencies and unexpected consequences. In this intellectual biography, the economic historian Michele Alacevich explores the development and trajectory of Hirschman’s characteristic approach to social-scientific questions. He traces the many strands of Hirschman’s thought and their place in his multifaceted body of work, considering their limitations as well as their strengths. Alacevich puts Hirschman’s ideas into context, following his participation in the major intellectual and political debates of his times. He examines Hirschman’s pioneering work in development studies and his analyses of social change, the history of capitalism, and the workings of democracy alongside his activities in the postwar reconstruction of Europe and economic development in Latin America. A compelling intellectual portrait of a profoundly distinctive thinker, this book also reflects on Hirschman’s legacy and lasting influence.

Over the past two decades, Latin America has seen an explosion of experiments with autonomy, as people across the continent express their refusal to be absorbed by the logic and order of neoliberalism. The autonomous movements of the twenty-first century are marked by an unprecedented degree of interconnection, through their use of digital tools and their insistence on the importance of producing knowledge about their practices through strategies of self-representation and grassroots theorization. The Book in Movement explores the reinvention of a specific form of media: the print book. Magalí Rabasa travels through the political and literary underground of cities in Mexico, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile to explore the ways that autonomous politics are enacted in the production and circulation of books.

Service learning can help students develop a sense of civic responsibility and commitment, often while addressing pressing community needs. One goal of literary studies is to understand the ethical dimensions of the world, and thus service learning, by broadening the environments students consider, is well suited to the literature classroom. Whether through a public literacy project that demonstrates the relevance of literary study or community-based research that brings literary theory to life, student collaboration with community partners brings social awareness to the study of literary texts and helps students and teachers engage literature in new ways. In their introduction, the volume editors trace the history of service learning in the United States, including the debate about literature's role, and outline the best practices of the pedagogy. The essays that follow cover American, English, and world literature; creative nonfiction and memoir; literature-based writing; and cross-disciplinary studies. Contributors describe a wide variety of service-learning projects, including a course on the Harlem Renaissance in which students lead a community writing workshop, an English capstone seminar in which seniors design programs for public libraries, and a creative nonfiction course in which first-year students work with elderly community members to craft life narratives. The volume closes with a list of resources for practitioners and researchers in the field.
