LA TIERRA EN JUEGO DE LA CONCIENCIA HUMANA (Ensayo) LA TIERRA EN JUEGO DE LA CONCIENCIA HUMANA.

The turbulent relationship between the United States and Puerto Rico is reflected in some shape or form in the literature of Puerto Rican and neorriqueño authors. In writings it is a relationship of systematic oppression and racial and class discrimination, not only between Puerto Rican Americans but all Latino Americans as they moved north searching for the “American Dream” only to find that it is nothing but mere fantasy. Neorriqueño poets such as Tato Laviera, Julia de Burgos, Pedro Pietri, and

What is shame and how different people cope with it. No one knows when shame appeared for a first time. Maybe in ancient times, maybe in 15th century, or perhaps since the dawn of man. The fact, which is known, is that the majority of people experience this feeling at least once in a lifetime. Shame is a strong feeling, which affects not only regular people, but also celebrities.

This program was my first introduction to political economy and activism. I chose it because I had extremely limited exposure to both topics. In addition, the class featured an environmental and native studies aspect; both are core to my academic goals. I gained experience in the above topics through class discussions, workshops, lectures, and the class field trip. The field trip to Skagit Valley is what really ignited my learning in the class. Until week five, my bank of knowledge was rapidly growing

Juan Lotes en Cleveland Heights. Sucio, basura por todas partes. Pero imagine uno como un jardín. Eso era verdad. (Lots in Cleveland Heights. Dirty, trash everywhere. But imagine one as a garden. That was true.) Ever since I moved to Cleveland in 1989 when I was ten, I missed Spain. It was my real home. Cleveland was dirty and people were rude. The nice thing was that Cleveland was diverse so I fit in with dark hair and I was one of many Hispanic people. No one ever did anything about Cleveland’s

borra la tristeza,calma la amargua”… I remembered the spicy smell traveling from the kitchen, flowing the whole house with this soup smell my mother likes to cook, while she was singing on the kitchen: “el me mintio, el me dijo que me amaba y no era verdad”… it was a combination of food, Carlos Gardel , Amanda Miguel, and in certain moments, when my sister opened her room a sound of rock and roll would scape and enjoyed all those other pentagrams that were floating in a 52mts house. It was the year

The zoot suit is a direct representation of a particular time in Los Angeles history, specifically during World War II–when misrepresented groups in society decided to separate themselves and rebel against the racism they faced from white society. Mainly represented in Black and Latino communities as a powerful symbol of defiance. The zoot suit, with exaggerated proportions and bold colors, was in contrast to the stern, conservative, wartime attire in the 1940s. These suits allowed communities to

The Owl and the Sijú The legend of "La lechuza y el sijú" ("The Owl and the Sijú") is a popular and old Cuban legend. I collected this legend on March 17th, when I first talked to Denise Corte, my co-worker at my campus job, about this particular class assignment. She is a Brazilian doctoral student whose thesis is based on a Cuban theater group. She traveled to Cuba to follow this theater group that primarily focuses their plays on Cuban legends. When she heard about my assignment she was enthusiastic
