La Cacería

Autor: Mirta Ojito

Número de Páginas: 269

La verdadera historia del asesinato de un inmigrante que transformó un acogedor pueblo de Long Island en la zona cero de la guerra contra la inmigración. En noviembre de 2008, Marcelo Lucero, un inmigrante Ecuatoriano de treinta y siete años, fue atacado y asesinado por un grupo de adolecentes cuando caminaba por las calles de Patchogue. Los atacantes iban a “cazar beaners” —término despectivo para Latinos— algo que formaba parte de su diversión habitual. Mientras el país lucha contra el creciente número de inmigrantes indocumentados y los políticos avanzan su carrera canalizando y propagando el odio al inmigrante, los latinos se han convertido en el blanco de múltiples ataques de odio. Lucero, un humilde trabajador de una tintorería, se convirtió en otra víctima de esta fiebre anti-inmigratoria. Tras su muerte, Patchogue, un tranquilo y casi desconocido suburbio Estadounidense, se convirtió en la zona cero en la guerra contra la inmigración y Lucero en un símbolo de todo lo que no funciona en nuestro sistema migratorio: menos visas para viajar a Estados Unidos, fronteras porosas, pocos buenos trabajos y un grave aumento de la intolerancia y el racismo....

Número de Páginas: 358

En esta memoria sobre una niña, dos culturas y una lucha por la libertad, la periodista Mirta Ojito, ganadora del Premio Pulitzer, vuelve al evento en su adolescencia que cambió su vida para siempre: el éxodo en el 1980 de más de 125.000 cubanos, mejor conocido como el puente marítimo del Mariel. Con perseverancia y mucho corazón, Ojito logra localizar en Cuba y Estados Unidos a los individuos ya olvidados por la historia cuyas acciones desencadenaron los sucesos que impactaron su vida y la de otros miles de cubanos a ambos lados del Estrecho de la Florida. Su libro es un relato conmovedor de cómo una niña creció desgarrada entre las críticas contra el gobierno que reinaban en su casa y el arrastre de una revolución que exigía lealtad absoluta. El Mañana ofrece una mirada inolvidable dentro del corazón de una valiente refugiada adolescente.

Voices from Mariel

Autor: José Manuel García

Número de Páginas: 172

The stories of Cuban refugees who journeyed across the straits of Florida in search of a better future Between April and September 1980, more than 125,000 Cuban refugees fled their homeland, seeking freedom from Fidel Castro’s dictatorship. They departed in boats from the port of Mariel and braved the dangerous 90-mile journey across the Straits of Florida. Told in the words of the immigrants themselves, the stories in Voices from Mariel offer an up-close view of this international crisis, the largest overseas mass migration in Latin American history. Former refugees describe what it was like to gather among thousands of dissidents on the grounds of the Peruvian embassy in Cuba where the movement first began. They were abused by the masses who protested them as they made their way to the Mariel harbor, before Castro permitted them to leave the country in an attempt to disperse the civil unrest. They waited interminably for boats in oppressive heat, squalor, and desperation at the crowded tent camp known as “El Mosquito.” They embarked on vessels overloaded with too many passengers and battled harrowing storms on their journeys across the open ocean.

Diversión

Autor: Albert Sergio Laguna

Número de Páginas: 284

In an era of warming relations between the US and Cuba, this book updates the conversation about Cuban America by revealing how this community has changed over the past 25 years. Albert Sergio Laguna investigates the generational shifts and tensions in a Cuban America where the majority is now made up of those who have arrived since the 1990s and those born in the US. To probe these changes, Laguna examines the aesthetic and social logics of a wide range of popular culture forms originating in Miami and Cuba from the 1970s through the 2010s. They include the stand-up comedy of performers like Alvarez Guedes, festivals, a media distribution network in Cuba called el paquete, morning radio shows, and the viral content of Los Pichy Boys, among others. This study illustrates the centrality of play in a community that has been described historically as angry and melancholic. Diversión contends that our understanding of the Cuban diaspora is lacking not in seriousness, but in play. By unpacking this archive, Laguna explores our complex, often-fraught attachments to popular culture and the way it can challenge and reproduce normative cultural ideologies-especially in relation to...

Autor: Armando Lucas Correa

Número de Páginas: 313

SEARCHING FOR EMMA SPA En busca de Emma is the moving story of two fathers that overcame all obstacles to bring their daughter into this world. A personal story of the building of a 21st century family. A universal story of love. This is the first book from the Editor-in-Chief of People en Español. As the Editor-in-Chief of People en Español, the highest circulated Spanish-language magazine in the USA, Armando Correa knows a thing or two about glitz, celebrity, and glamour. Yet, missing from his life was the family he so yearned to create; the family that thanks to science, patience, and the most supportive community possible, he was finally able to bring into existence in his beautiful daughter Emma. Using the trying, and costly, method of finding a surrogate to give birth to his daughter, readers come to know just how difficult a process it is for anyone wanting to become a parent. Blessed with a long-term partner, we see Armando’s hopes dashed time and again when the pregnancy fails to take. Until finally, the pregnancy does take, and their lives become filled with the expectations all parents feel (layered with nervousness, fear, absolute love) when their unborn baby is on ...

In Search of Emma

Autor: Armando Lucas Correa

Número de Páginas: 299

Revised and updated with a new introduction by the author—and available in English for the first time—the moving story of a man who always wanted to be a father and the long emotional road to making his dream come true. Born in Cuba and raised in the USA, Armando Lucas Correa epitomized the American dream. He had everything he wanted: an incredible job as the editor of People magazine, meeting and interviewing glamorous celebrities; a steady partner; and a comfortable life filled with travel. But with the new millennium, he realized something vital was missing. A child. In the years before gay marriage was widespread and legal across the nation, the road to parenthood was difficult for gay couples. Though his family would not be traditional, Correa was undaunted. Every setback, each emotional challenge was fuel that drove him to fulfill his dream. Exhaustively researching the possibilities, Correa eventually chose surrogacy—a long, arduous, and expensive method involving seemingly endless tests, paperwork, and difficult decisions. But with the help of science, a lot of patience, an egg donor, a gestational mother, and the unconditional support of her partner and family,...
