Loco por Madonna. La Reina del Pop

Autor: Francesco Falconi

Número de Páginas: 297

#Rebel2016 Edition - actualización de abril de 2016: ¡Loco por Madonna se convierte en un ePub en vivo! La biografía de Madonna será actualizada una vez al año. En treinta años de carrera, entre giras mundiales, sencillos exitosos, películas y libros, Madonna no ha pasado jamás inobservada. Desde el lejano 1982, ha capturado la atención de miles de muchachitas que imitaban su imagen provocadora, entonaban sus canciones y la transformaban poco a poco en icono del feminismo y de la libertad sexual y de expresión. Madonna, contra todo pronóstico, ha atravesado las décadas viviendo en total simbiosis con nuestra sociedad, cabalgando modas mediáticas, a menudo dictándolas ella misma. Así, mientras las estrellas de los años 80 se eclipsaban, la estrella de "Like a Virgen" se establecía continuamente en lo más alto de las listas de todo el mundo. Una artista con tantas facetas, un icono camaleónico por excelencia, que se ha reinventado a sí misma como cantante, actriz, bailarina, directora, hábil empresaria, abeja reina de la música pop y astuta provocadora; pero también como madre y como mujer de gran compromiso humanitario y social (fundadora de la Raising Malawi ...

Killer Crónicas

Autor: Susana Chávez-Silverman

Número de Páginas: 152

A woman living and communicating in multiple lands, Susana Chávez-Silverman conveys her cultural and linguistic displacement in humorous, bittersweet, and even tangible ways in this truly bilingual literary work. These meditative and lyrical pieces combine poignant personal confession, detailed daily observation, and a memorializing drive that shifts across time and among geocultural spaces. The author’s inventive and flamboyant use of Spanglish, a hybrid English-Spanish idiom, and her adaptation of the confessional "crónica" make this memoir compelling and powerful. Killer Crónicas confirms that there is no Latina voice quite like that of Susana Chávez-Silverman. Includes a chapter that was awarded first prize in El Andar magazine’s Chicano Literary Excellence Contest in the category of personal memoir.

PANORAMA

Autor: Ifeoma Ndiolo

Número de Páginas: 92

These poems are about Love, Life and Living. The world is seen as a beautiful, complex and diverse place. These poems provide a picturesque view of the world. Love is beautiful when the going is good and terrible when it goes bad, leading to heartaches, nervous breakdown and sometimes even death. It can make or mare a man and has been the reason for the downfall of some notable successful men. Life is mysterious. Full of ups and down and has different stages which I prefer to call part 1, part 2 and for some people, part 3. The only constant thing in life is change and as each day comes with its own peculiarities, we device ways of dealing with the situation, one day at a time. Living is what we are here to do. Man was created to live and the world was made for man to inhabit. Unfortunately, man's inability to adequately appreciate, preserve and utilise the huge resources made available for his use, has been the bane of many societies especially the one in which I was born.

To tell the truth, like loose change, there is a story hidden under sofa cushions in every family home. If La La’s ole sofa could talk, her story would be a best-seller. It’s a story of one women’s passion to live despite the adversities of incest, marital abuse, and insanity. Funny, they call her La La. Why? When her name is really Ellen Marie Roosevelt? Number fourteen of fifteen children, who lives in the Roosevelt asylum. La La was around an endless crowd of beautiful black folk who partied all the time, it seemed. She wasn’t part of it; she was always alone, scared. She hid, wanting to leave the light on to catch the mean perpetrators who got their kicks from their attacks on her. This scared thing was masked superficially with lots of inappropriate giggles, singing, and unbound hysteria. She buried her true self deep, deep, I tell you, and gave lots of “La La” until she became La La. A marital hell was home for La La and her tormentor, so-called protector, a real-life Frankenstein, whom she met as Franklin Morris. They live and love in a double-bound madness with four distinct personalities occupying two bodies, each vying desperately for the “up” position....

His father murdered, his family ranch torched, he goes gunning for Harvey Dodge—the man who he’s convinced is the killer—and it’s Lee who ends up on the wrong side of the law. Shot in a gunfight, on the run and running out of time, he holes up in a mountain hideout and waits for death to come find him. But he wakes up in the arms of a beautiful woman who has beat death to his door and nursed him back to life.

Written with humor, it contains an acid critique of neoliberal societies. Written with humor, it contains an acid critique of neoliberal societies, which are firmly structured in a network of racial or gender differences, governed by injustice at the hands of a minority in power. The author shows the great debt owed to the indigenous peoples by the independence movements and the aggravation of socioeconomic inequalities derived from exploitation, seen from the x-ray of neocolonialism exercised by the industrialized world and in the rest of the world ... Daughter of her time, CHIHUAHUA! It is a novel as agile as it is endowed with an apparently irreverent background, but as truthful as it is stimulating. Chihuahua is a term that contains three concepts. The first is the name given to the Mexican state, whose most populous city is Ciudad Juarez, scene of the bloodiest drug crimes and femicides. The second is a typical Mexican euphemistic interjection that expresses surprise or anger. The last meaning alludes to a small breed of hairless dogs that, in the presence of a larger dog, tucks its tail between its legs but from a distance shows its chest showing its small fangs in anger....
