Una novela basada en hechos reales que retrata con intensidad la vida en la frontera norte del país, ese otro México dentro de México que vive al filo de la navaja y en el que la línea que separa la legalidad de la ilegalidad es tan porosa como aquella que divide a un país del otro. Carolina es una joven atractiva de Ciudad Juárez. La vida parece sonreírle: el negocio familiar es próspero, sus hermanos mayores la adoran y protegen, y, a su corta edad, comienza a ser el objeto de atracción de todas las miradas masculinas juarenses -y esto, claramente, no le molesta-. Mientras la vida en la ciudad se ve trastocada por la violencia, el narcotráfico y la corrupción, Carolina parece habitar una realidad paralela, entre la candidez y el cinismo. Vicente es un periodista que comienza su carrera en un diario de la capital del país. Gracias a su dedicación y su valor para exhibir a funcionarios públicos, es asignado a una misión importante: cubrir la guerra contra el narcotráfico, del presidente Enrique Calderón Nieto, en el norte del país. Al poco tiempo de iniciar su investigación, descubre que el asunto es mucho más grave que una sangrienta disputa entre bandas rivales de criminales y que la red de complicidades y corrupción alcanza al procurador de justicia y al gobernador del estado. Qué pasará cuando los caminos de estos dos personajes –Carolina Vicente- se crucen? Mezcla magistral de thriller político y novela costumbrista, Tu cabello es la frontera es el retrato fiel de la descomposición política de un país y, al mismo tiempo, el retrato entrañable del día a día de millones de mexicanos que viven, en todos los sentidos, sobre la raya. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A novel based on true events that intensely depicts life on the country's northern border, this other Mexico inside of Mexico that lives on a razor's edge and in which the line that separates legality from illegality is as porous as the one that divides one country from the other. Carolina is an attractive young woman from Ciudad Juarez. Life seems to smile at her: the family business is prosperous, her older brothers adore and protect her, and at her young age, she's beginning to become the object that attracts all the masculine stares in Juarez—and this clearly doesn't bother her. While life in the city is disrupted by violence, drug cartels, and corruption, Carolina seems to live in a parallel reality, between candor and cynicism. Vicente is a reporter that begins his career at a newspaper in the country's capital. Thanks to his dedication and bravery for exposing public officials, he's assigned to an important missions: covering the president's, Enrique Calderón Nieto's, war on drugs in the northern part of the country. A short time after beginning his investigation, he discovers that the issue is a lot graver than just a bloody dispute between rival bands of criminals and that the web of complicity and corruption reaches the district attorney and the governor of the state. What will happen when the paths of these two characters—Carolina and Vicente—cross? A master of mixing a political thriller and a comedy of errors, Your Hair Is The Border, is a faithful portrait of the political decomposition of a country, and at the same time, a touching portrait of the day-to-day life of millions of Mexicans who live, in every sense, right on the line.

While many professional translators believe the ability to translate is a gift that one either has or does not have, Allison Beeby Lonsdale questions this view. In her innovative book, Beeby Lonsdale demonstrates how teachers can guide their students by showing them how insights from communication theory, discourse analysis, pragmatics, and semiotics can illuminate the translation process. Using Spanish to English translation as her example, she presents the basic principles of translation through 29 teaching units, which are prefaced by objectives, tasks, and commentaries for the teacher, and through 48 task sheets, which show how to present the material to students. Published in English.

The inspirational writings of cultural theorist and social justice activist Gloria Anzaldúa have empowered generations of women and men throughout the world. Charting the multiplicity of Anzaldúa's impact within and beyond academic disciplines, community trenches, and international borders, Bridging presents more than thirty reflections on her work and her life, examining vibrant facets in surprising new ways and inviting readers to engage with these intimate, heartfelt contributions. Bridging is divided into five sections: The New Mestizas: "transitions and transformations"; Exposing the Wounds: "You gave me permission to fly in the dark"; Border Crossings: Inner Struggles, Outer Change; Bridging Theories: Intellectual Activism with/in Borders; and "Todas somos nos/otras": Toward a "politics of openness." Contributors, who include Norma Elia Cantú, Elisa Facio, Shelley Fisher Fishkin, Aída Hurtado, Andrea Lunsford, Denise Segura, Gloria Steinem, and Mohammad Tamdgidi, represent a broad range of generations, professions, academic disciplines, and national backgrounds. Critically engaging with Anzaldúa's theories and building on her work, they use virtual diaries, transformational theory, poetry, empirical research, autobiographical narrative, and other genres to creatively explore and boldly enact future directions for Anzaldúan studies. A book whose form and content reflect Anzaldúa's diverse audience, Bridging perpetuates Anzaldúa's spirit through groundbreaking praxis and visionary insights into culture, gender, sexuality, religion, aesthetics, and politics. This is a collection whose span is as broad and dazzling as Anzaldúa herself.

The Translation judges for the National Book Awards--Richard Miller, Alastair Reid, Eliot Weinberger--cited Clayton Eshleman and Jose Rubia Barcia's translation of Cesar Vallejo's The Complete Posthumous Poetry as follows: "This, the first National Book Award to be given to a translation of modern poetry, is a recognition of Clayton Eshleman's seventeen-year apprenticeship to perhaps the most difficult poetry in the Spanish language. Eshleman and his present collaborator, Jose Rubia Barcia, have not only rendered these complex poems into brilliant and living English, but have also established a definitive Spanish test based on Vallejo's densely rewritten manuscripts. In recreating this modern master in English, they have also made a considerable addition to poetry in our language."

A mysterious plague is decimating the population of colonial Mexico. One of His MajestyÍs highest physicians is dispatched from Spain to bring the latest advances in medical science to the backward peoples of the New World capital. Here begins the cyclical tale of man battling the unknown, of science confronting the eternally indifferent forces of nature. Morales takes us on a trip through ancient and future civilizations, through exotic but all-too-familiar cultures, to a final confrontation with our own ethics and world views. In later chapters, the colonial physician finds his successors as they once again engage in life or death struggles, attempting to balance their own hopes, desires and loves with the good society and the state. Book II of the novel takes place in modern-day southern California, and Book III in a futuristic technocratic confederation known as Lamex. In the tradition of Latin American born novelist, Alejandro Morales is one of the finest representatives of magic realism in the English language. In The Rag Doll Plagues, Morales creates a many layered fictional world, taking us on an entertaining and thought-provoking safari thorough lands, times, peoples and ideas never before encountered or presented in this manner. But ultimately, this valuable trip leads to a reacquaintance with our own society and its moral vision.

Here is a set of essays on Historia general del Piru that discuss not only the manuscript's physical components--quires and watermarks, scripts and pigments--but also its relation to other Andean manuscripts, Inca textiles, European portraits, and Spanish sources and publication procedures. The sum is an unusually detailed and interdisciplinary analysis of the creation and fate of a historical and artistic treasure.
