Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In the opening piece, "The Lives of Saints," an immigrant family from Costa Rica regularly prays to a litany of saints to help deal with all that life throws their way--including alcoholism, marital discord, illness and death--all while adjusting to their new circumstances as "Americans." The narrator, a woman trapped in a subservient role supporting her husband, suffers in silence as the men completely disregard her in life-changing decisions. Recounting her family's attempts to balance a traditional, more conservative culture with the new and exciting one in their adopted homeland, she is forced to reconsider gender roles, assimilation and religion. Costa Ricans, or Ticos, living in the United States return to their native country in two of the three novellas in this thought-provoking collection. They discover it's not the "Switzerland of Central America," the perfect country with good healthcare, education and no standing army. In "Las Tres Marías," three sisters raised in the comparative freedom of Massachusetts who return to live in their parents' home country are barely teenagers when they're labeled gringas and "doomed to become sluts." In "La Familia," Juan Manuel has made a life for himself in Chicago, but when his mother calls him home because his brother has been arrested as a terrorist, he faces an uncomfortable reckoning with his country's involvement in regional violence as the Cold War spreads to Latin America.Revealing the cultural dissonance experienced by immigrants, Diana Rojas' characters grapple with their self-perception as they consider what they're supposed to be and who they want to be. Issues of individualism versus community, loyalty to a distant homeland and a divided sense of identity pepper this intriguing debut.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 358 p. Includes: illustrations, index, bibliography. "La riqueza florística y el desarrollo cultural de Centroamérica han hecho importantes aportes a la seguridad alimentaria de la humanidad. El maíz, el cacao, los frijoles y los chiles son solo algunos ejemplo de ello. Además de estas plantas ampliamente cultivadas en todo el mundo, la región posee una gran cantidad de especies comestibles, muchas de las cuales carecen de tecnologías de cultivo extensivo o se siguen recolectando directamente de su ambiente natural, mediante prácticas artesanales. Este recurso representa un gran potencial para la humanidad. Sin embargo, las estrategias que abordan temas como la seguridad alimentaria aún no lo toman en cuenta. Ante la demanda de información sobre las plantas comestibles, que se evidenció en recientes talleres en los distintos países centroamericanos, un grupo de herbarios de la región decidió integrar sus capacidades y producir este libro, que combina el conocimiento científico y la información local, incluyendo recetas para preparar los alimentos.". …
