        Das Geisterhaus

        Roman

        by Isabel Allende

        Eine Familiensaga, die zum Welterfolg wurde: Isabel Allende erzählt die wechselhafte Geschichte der Familie des chilenischen Patriarchen Esteban Trueba und seiner hellsichtigen Frau Clara und führt uns mit der ihr eigenen Fabulierkunst durch eine Zeit, in der persönliche Schicksale und politische Gewalt eng miteinander verwoben sind. Der Erfolg dieses Buches verdankt sich dem hinreißenden Erzähltemperament Isabel Allendes: Mit Phantasie, Witz und Zärtlichkeit malt die Autorin das bunte Tableau einer Familie über vier Generationen hinweg.

        Queer Studies

        Schlüsseltexte

        by Mike Laufenberg, Ben Trott

        Seit drei Jahrzehnten untersuchen Queer Studies die Macht geschlechtlicher und sexueller Normen – und wie diese infrage gestellt werden. Sie erforschen die komplexen Zusammenhänge von Sexualität, Geschlecht, Rassismus, Klasse und Nation. Dieser Band versammelt klassische und neuere Schlüsseltexte der anglophonen Queer Studies in deutscher Sprache, von Judith Butler und Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick bis Cathy Cohen und José Esteban Muñoz. Er führt in die wichtigsten theoretischen Positionen ein, macht mit den zentralen Entwicklungslinien des Diskurses vertraut und präsentiert wegweisende queere Analysen zu Kapitalismus, Migration, Geopolitik, Behinderung, Aktivismus, Kultur und Subkultur.

        Biografía de un cimarrón

        By Miguel Barnet and Esteban Montejo

        by Catherine Davies, William Rowlandson

        This Biography of a runaway slave is arguably the best-known book to have been written and published in revolutionary Cuba, being the testimonial narrative of Esteban Montejo, a former slave, runaway, and soldier in the Cuban wars of independence. The text is the collaboration between ethnographer Miguel Barnet and Montejo, the result of three years of tape-recorded interviews, transcribed, edited and annotated by Barnet. Montejo provides a first-hand account of slavery in nineteenth-century Cuba - the language, religion, music, and customs - and describes life in the sugar plantations and mills and as a runaway slave. Montejo's text also covers key historical moments, from slavery to Abolition, the Ten Years War, the Spanish American War, and US intervention in the new republic. Reflecting the growing interest in Latin American and Cuban Studies, this student edition includes the complete text in Spanish, notes in English, a time-line of Cuban history and themes for debate and discussion. The extensive introduction focuses on three main areas: an overview of Cuban history featuring slavery, wars of independence and the new republic; an overview of the genre of the testimonial narrative as it emerged as an important literary style in revolutionary Cuba; and an analysis of the relationship between the Cuban Revolution and the publication of the text. There is also an extensive bibliography. ;
