Free Download Massacre of the Dreamers: Essays on Xicanisma. 20th Anniversary Updated Edition By Castillo, Ana; Estés, Clarissa Pinkola
2014 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 0826353584 | EPUB + PDF | 3 MB
Gustavus Myers Outstanding Book Award from the Gustavus Myers Center for the Study of Bigotry and Human RightsThis new edition of an immensely influential book gives voice to Mexic Amerindian women silenced for hundreds of years by the dual censorship of being female and indigenous. Castillo replaced the term "Chicana feminism" with "Xicanisma" to include mestiza women on both sides of the border. In history, myth, interviews, and ethnography Castillo revisits her reflections on Chicana activism, spiritual practices, sexual attitudes, artistic ideology, labor struggles, and education-related battles. Her book remains a compelling document, enhanced here with a new afterword that reexamines the significance of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Free Download Mark Paytress, "Bolan: The Rise And Fall of a 20th Century Superstar"
English | 2006 | ISBN: 1846091470 | EPUB | pages: 408 | 6.3 mb
Marc Bolan was the very first superstar of the Seventies. As the seductive focus of "T Rex", he revelled in fame and fortune, released a string of classic records, but then lost his way, bingeing on cocaine and booze and apparently heading for obscurity. But the fatal 1977 car crash that cut short his planned comeback as a punk rocker was also to fix him forever as the classic icon of Glam Rock. Today, decades after his death, the legend of Marc Bolan lives on and not just for the image. His music and chameleonic style were to influence many future bands. Mod, Beatnik, Hippie, Glam and Punk Rocker – Bolan’s numerous guises offer a fascinating glimpse into the man himself as well as British pop history. This classic biography of a pop obsessive draws from interviews with many friends and colleagues including the late John Peel, brother Harry and band members Mickey Finn and Bill Legend.

Free Download Michele Monserrati, "Searching for Japan: 20th Century Italy’s Fascination with Japanese Culture "
English | ISBN: 1789621070 | 2020 | 256 pages | PDF | 8 MB
This book pursues the specific case of Italian travel narratives in the Far East, through a focus on the experience of Japan in works by writers who visited the Land of the Rising Sun beginning in the Meiji period (1868-1912) and during the concomitant opening of Japan’s relations with the West. Drawing from the fields of Postcolonial and Transnational Studies, analysis of these texts explores one central question: what does it mean to imagine Japanese culture as contributing to Italian culture? Each author shares in common an attempt to disrupt ideas about dichotomies and unbalanced power relationships between East and West. Proposing the notion of ‘relational Orientalism,’ this book suggests that Italian travelogues to Japan, in many cases, pursued the goal of building imaginary transnational communities, predicated on commonalities and integration, by claiming what they perceived as ‘Oriental’ as their own. In contrast with a long history of Western representations of Japan as inferior and irrational, Searching for Japan identifies a positive overarching attitude toward the Far East country in modern Italian culture. Expanding the horizon of Italian transnational networks, normally situated within the Southern European region, this book reinstates the existence of an alternative Euro-Asian axis, operating across Italian history.

Free Download Tuomas Kuronen Marja Vuorinen, Aki-Mauri Huhtinen, "Regime Changes in 20th Century Europe"
English | ISBN: 1443899348 | 2016 | 445 pages | PDF | 3 MB
In retrospect, historical change often appears to be both logical and inevitable. Yet as a process, as a series of moments, it is by nature open-ended. The protagonists are unaware of the potential consequences of their choices, nor the meaning of their actions in the greater scheme of things. An individual, in real time, in the middle of events, has little scope for understanding the whole. The dynamic of a regime change involves a journey away from a particular past towards a chosen future, with the practices of the old regime being called into question. The competing visions for a better future often include a reactionary option, looking back towards an older period, perceived as golden age waiting to be restored. In the aftermath of a regime change, the new cadres, seeking to consolidate their power, form the new conservative bloc in the society. When revolutionary forces again begin to gather, the regime disintegrates, and the cycle begins again. So far, regime changes have been analysed as unique, one-off events. This book traces what such processes, regardless of their ideological colour, have in common. How does political power change hands? What are the mental and material tools of change? From the last stages of World War I to the present Crimean crisis, the case studies in this book offer timeless insights for understanding ideological and military conflicts, including the undercurrents of the present Russo-Western relations.
