Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'One day all these classrooms / will no longer hold any of us. / Leave no evidence we were here. / We exist in the whisper.' Lupe Mendez's innovative new collection captures a unique time in Houston, Texas, 'a sliver of a moment for Mexican-American and Mexican communities in the early 1970s,' that explores Houston ISD's racist plan to integrate schools by sending Mexican-American children--labeled as white--to predominantly African-American schools, thereby satisfying federal desegregation laws. Incensed that its children would have to travel to schools that were no better than the ones they could walk to, the Chicano community resisted by instituting a walkout, or huelga, and creating its own schools in churches, homes and neighborhood centers. Weaving poetry and history, the book contains 'found' poems created from newspaper articles about the strike; oral history interviews with teachers, principals and students; notes from visits the author made to the sites where classes were held more than 50 years ago; docupoems created from official Huelga School papers; and historical documents such as photographs, charts, fliers and letters. In his illuminating notes about the book, Mendez describes the methodology for creating this collection and includes a list of best practices for the 'poethnographer.' His research revealed the racism that existed in this era, perpetuated by the majority white population and between brown and black populations forced to compete for every resource. Ultimately, Mendez asserts the Huelga School strike had a critical impact on Houston, both in the development of Mexican-American leaders who got their start in these 'freedom schools' and the nascent collaborations between diverse communities. This creative, thought-provoking volume is a must-read for anyone interested in education, history and Mexican Americans' fight for equality.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Prayer Holding Night: New and Selected Works is Lupe Mendez's latest entry into the poetry expanse and continues TCU Press' series of collections by the Poet Laureate of Texas. The poems in this collection span a 20 year writing career (2005 - 2025) in which Mendez has worked to speak on issues and everyday experiences. The poems here cover his view on travel and art, historical events and disasters and even a response to Texas politics with a series of never before seen blackout poems. Mendez began his career as a performance poet, cutting his teeth on stages near and far across the Texas landscape and these poems capture all the moments with care and understanding. Mendez has over 20 years of experience as a performance poet - having opened up for notable writers as Dagoberto Gilb, Esmeralda Santiago, U.S. Poet Laureates, Juan Felipe Herrera and Ada Limon and legendary writers such as the late Raul Salinas. He has shared his poetry across the country in places like the Holocaust Museum Houston, the Jung Center, MECA (Houston,TX), the Mission Cultural Center For Latino Arts (San Francisco,CA), the National Hispanic Cultural Center (Albuquerque,NM) the Mexican American Cultural Center (Austin,TX), and Columbia University, (New York, NY). Mendez continues to serve writers and educators as keynote speaker/poetry performer all across Texas and beyond, most recently hosting writing opportunities with the Poetry Foundation (Chicago, IL) as it hosts its Teacher Poetry Summit which services K- College teachers from across the US.…

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. La presente obra, continuación de un primer volumen aparecido previamente en torno a las actividades de la red CHARTA (acrónimo de Corpus Hispánico y Americano en la Red: Textos Antiguos), recoge, desde enfoques diversos, las cuestiones que modernamente constituyen el centro de la investigación de corpus de documentos -tanto tradicionales como digitales- y las nuevas perspectivas para su edición y estudio. Por ello, se centra en los últimos avances y consideraciones sobre temas que tienen que ver con el documento antiguo: la elaboración de corpus electrónicos, sus métodos, su representatividad y sus problemas. Asimismo, da cuenta de otros aspectos variados que ocupan a la investigación histórica que utiliza como base empírica estos documentos y que dan idea de la amplitud de temas y asuntos que se abordan en la actualidad: tradiciones discursivas, tipologías documentales, normas y tradiciones, cronología y datación absoluta y relativa, variación lingüística y estilística, corpus digitales, edición de corpus, oralidad y escritura, argumentación, lenguas en contacto, ortografía, usos gráficos y puntuación, fonología y fonética, morfología y sintaxis históricas, lexicología y diccionarios. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
