Free Download Maria Antònia Oliver-Rotger, "Identity, Diaspora and Return in American Literature "
English | ISBN: 0415735580 | 2014 | 234 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This volume combines literary analysis and theoretical approaches to mobility, diasporic identities and the construction of space to explore the different ways in which the notion of return shapes contemporary ethnic writing such as fiction, ethnography, memoir, and film. Through a wide variety of ethnic experiences ranging from the Transatlantic, Asian American, Latino/a and Caribbean alongside their corresponding forms of displacement – political exile, war trauma, and economic migration – the essays in this collection connect the intimate experience of the returning subject to multiple locations, historical experiences, inter-subjective relations, and cultural interactions. They challenge the idea of the narrative of return as a journey back to the untouched roots and home that the ethnic subject left behind. Their diacritical approach combines, on the one hand, a sensitivity to the context and structural elements of modern diaspora; and on the other, an analysis of the individual psychological processes inherent to the experience of displacement and return such as nostalgia, memory and belonging. In the narratives of return analyzed in this volume, space and identity are never static or easily definable; rather, they are in-process and subject to change as they are always entangled in the historical and inter-subjective relations ensuing from displacement and mobility. This book will interest students and scholars who wish to further explore the role of American literature within current debates on globalization, migration, and ethnicity.

Free Download Danna A. Levin Rojo Ph.D., "Return to Aztlan: Indians, Spaniards, and the Invention of Nuevo México "
English | ISBN: 0806144343 | 2014 | 320 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Long before the Spanish colonizers established it in 1598, the "Kingdom of Nuevo México" had existed as an imaginary world―and not the one based on European medieval legend so often said to have driven the Spaniards’ ambitions in the New World. What the conquistadors sought in the 1500s, it seems, was what the native Mesoamerican Indians who took part in north-going conquest expeditions also sought: a return to the Aztecs’ mythic land of origin, Aztlan. Employing long-overlooked historical and anthropological evidence, Danna A. Levin Rojo reveals how ideas these natives held about their own past helped determine where Spanish explorers would go and what they would conquer in the northwest frontier of New Spain―present-day New Mexico and Arizona.

Free Download The Return of Makhanda: Exploring the Legend By Julia C. Wells
2012 | 280 Pages | ISBN: 1869142381 | PDF | 7 MB
Makhanda was a Xhosa leader and warrior-prophet who lived in the early 19th century in southern Africa, and who led a massive attack on the British in Grahamstown in 1819. His clarity of thinking and personal charisma propelled him into the position of leading spiritual adviser to the powerful Chief Ndlambe of the Rharhabe. Although Makhanda was portrayed in the written record as a religious fanatic and millinarian prophet who led his own people to destruction, this evocative account demonstrates that the popular heroic view of Makhanda, as one of South Africa’s early freedom fighters, is far more justified. With meticulous chronology, the book offers a major revision of the life of this often controversial figure. (Series: Thinking Africa). *** "…Wells openly declares that her purpose is to rehabilitate the reputation of Makhanda….Her admission of bias may shock academic purists, but what follows is a meticulous examination of the written and oral evidence that interprets an immensely complex story quite brilliantly. Highly recommended." J. E. Flint, emeritus, Dalhousie University, Choice, February 2013, Vol. 50, No. 6.
