Book Synopsis Traveler, There Is No Road by : Lisa Jackson-Schebetta
Download or read book Traveler, There Is No Road written by Lisa Jackson-Schebetta. This book was released on 2017-06-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traveler, There Is No Road offers a compelling and complex vision of the decolonial imagination in the United States from 1931 to 1943 and beyond. By examining the ways in which the war of interpretation that accompanied the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) circulated through Spanish and English language theatre and performance in the United States, Lisa Jackson-Schebetta demonstrates that these works offered alternative histories that challenged the racial, gender, and national orthodoxies of modernity and coloniality. Jackson-Schebetta shows how performance in the US used histories of American empires, Islamic legacies, and African and Atlantic trades to fight against not only fascism and imperialism in the 1930s and 1940s, but modernity and coloniality itself. This book offers a unique perspective on 1930s theatre and performance, encompassing the theatrical work of the Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Spanish diasporas in the United States, as well as the better-known Anglophone communities. Jackson-Schebetta situates well-known figures, such as Langston Hughes and Clifford Odets, alongside lesser-known ones, such as Erasmo Vando, Franca de Armiño, and Manuel Aparicio. The milicianas, female soldiers of the Spanish Republic, stride on stage alongside the male fighters of the Lincoln Brigade. They and many others used the multiple visions of Spain forged during the civil war to foment decolonial practices across the pasts, presents, and futures of the Americas. Traveler conclusively demonstrates that theatre and performance scholars must position US performances within the Americas writ broadly, and in doing so they must recognize the centrality of the hemisphere’s longest-lived colonial power, Spain.

Book Synopsis There Is No Road Through the Woods and Only the Keeper Sees by : Salvatore Poeta
Download or read book There Is No Road Through the Woods and Only the Keeper Sees written by Salvatore Poeta. This book was released on 2014-10-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is No Road through the Woods and Only the Keeper Sees represents a continuation of the journey I began by sea on the other side of the Atlantic as I retrace, nostalgically, the footsteps of my childhood and teenage years on North American soil. It is a reflection on friends and strangershuman and animallost, some forever, deep within times bottomless wells, on the trials and tribulations of a lost innocence tinged with the melancholia of promises not kept and irreversible regrets. It also embodies the spiritual journey of a soul continually searching, not for fear of death or personal salvation, for that glimmer of light leading us toward the warm embrace of human truth, kindness, and respect, of all that binds us and envelops us in a brotherly love while each of us pursues our destined journey in this world and the next.

Book Synopsis There's No Toilet Paper ... on the Road Less Traveled by : Doug Lansky
Download or read book There's No Toilet Paper ... on the Road Less Traveled written by Doug Lansky. This book was released on 2005. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection captures the wackiest experiences of writers whose travels took a detour, such as Dave Barry vainly trying to learn more Japanese than how to order a beer, and Mary Roach, who discovers that utilizing an Antarctic outhouse at the very moment a seal chooses to use its opening as a blowhole may not be the best way to start the day.
