Where We Stand

Editura: YALE UNIV PR

Anul aparitiei: 2024

4,The instant bestseller from Djamila Ribeiro that sparked a major Black feminist movement in Brazil "Part theory, part manifesto, part history. . . . [Where We Stand] has the makings of a truly modern feminist classic."--Literary Hub In a society shaped by the legacies of enslavement, white supremacy, and sexism, who has the right to a voice? In this elegant essay, Djamila Ribeiro offers a compelling intervention into contemporary discussions of power and identity: the concept of "speaking place." A crucial component of conversations on race and gender in Brazil, speaking place is the idea that everyone has a social position in the world and that what we are able to say, and how it is received by others, depends on it. Ribeiro traces the history of Black feminist thought through several centuries, examining the ways that Black women have been silenced, ignored, and punished for speaking. Building on feminist standpoint theory, and in conversation with the works of Sojourner Truth, bell hooks, Audre Lorde, and others, Ribeiro invites all of us to recognize where we stand, to imagine geographies different from those we've inherited, and to speak a more humane world into being. ...

Puerto Rico: What Everyone Needs to Know(r)

Editura: OXFORD UNIV PR USA

Anul aparitiei: 2024

7,In the second edition of Puerto Rico: What Everyone Needs to Know(R), Jorge Duany unravels the fascinating and turbulent past and present of an island that is politically and economically tied to the United States, yet culturally distinct. Acquired by the United States from Spain in 1898, Puerto Rico has a peculiar status among Latin American and Caribbean countries. As a US Commonwealth, the island enjoys limited autonomy over local matters, but the US has dominated it militarily, politically, and economically for much of its recent history. Though they are US citizens, Puerto Ricans do not have their own voting representatives in Congress and cannot vote in presidential elections (although they are able to participate in the primaries). In recent years, Puerto Rico's colossal public debt sparked an economic crisis that catapulted it onto the national stage and intensified the exodus to the US, bringing to the fore many of the unresolved remnants of its colonial history. In the second edition of Puerto Rico: What Everyone Needs to Know(R), Jorge Duany provides a succinct, authoritative introduction to the island's rich history, culture, politics, and economy, as well as its ...
