Sin fronteras: Inclusive Spanish Grammar Guidebook is the first ever Spanish language text to teach non-binary and gender-neutral language. It is an invaluable resource for intermediate and advanced learners that offers concise explanations and exercises for the major clausal structures, tenses, and moods. Along with including non-binary and gender-neutral language, the volume also incorporates the voseo, or the use of vos as a second-person singular pronoun that is common in many Latin American countries. This book expands the scope of traditional grammar instruction by including tasks such as reading, writing, discussions, and independent research in order to support the development of the competencies necessary to thrive in the increasingly interconnected and diverse world. Sin fronteras is suitable for independent study or for supplemental use in conversation classes, classes for heritage speakers, classes with focus on the professions (e.g., medical Spanish, Spanish for business), and literature classes.

Al mexicano Al mestizo inconfundible Él lo lleva de la mano. El azteca, el artesano, el constructor mexicano. Yo soy de la tierra aquella de la linda arquitectura. Donde al poner nuestras manos todo se hace hermosura. Lugar que el águila escogió para que de él aprendieras. Porque si sabes volar, para ella no hay fronteras. Ese charro mexicano donde has visto tanta suerte. Todas fueron cosas lindas y ese pasó de la muerte. Las mujeres son muy nuestras, orgullo de la nación, pues ellas por su familia entregan su corazón. Nuestras manos lo demuestran, aprendemos lo que amamos. Y si no ponlo a prueba, somos puros mexicanos. Ser mexicano es muy lindo, lucir un color dorado. Un regalo que mi Dios a nosotros ha brindado. Ostentar ese color a veces es algo duro, pero no hay que dejar que eso afecte tu futuro. Los libros están escritos para todos los colores. Y debemos de agarrarlos, serán menos sinsabores. El mexicano y mestizo es hombre incansable y fuerte trabajador y decente que sabe jugar su suerte. Comprueba su inteligencia en todo lo que tú quieras. Es hombre que ama la ciencia, para él no existen fronteras. Si miras la agricultura en este inmenso granero con las manos de mi hermano es que se asen de dinero. El arte en el mexicano es herencia natural lo vimos en Diego Ribera enfrente de ese mural. Nuestras civilizaciones pasadas todas son dignas de ver, por eso es que todo el mundo aquí se viene a aprender. Pues cuando van a su tierra se van dizque a diseñar pero lo vienen a aprender a nuestro hermoso hogar. Dalia flor descubierta por los mexicanos Adorno de territorio mexicano

Decades before Miami became Havana USA, a wave of leftist, radical, working-class women and men from prerevolutionary Cuba crossed the Florida Straits, made Ybor City the global capital of the Cuban cigar industry, and established the foundation of latinidad in the Sunshine State. Located on the eastern edge of Tampa, Ybor City was a neighborhood of cigar workers and Caribbean revolutionaries who sought refuge against the shifting tides of international political turmoil during the early half of the twentieth century. Historian Sarah McNamara tells the story of immigrant and U.S.-born Latinas/os who organized strikes, marched against fascism, and criticized U.S. foreign policy. While many members of the immigrant generation maintained their dedication to progressive ideals for years to come, those who came of age in the wake of World War II distanced themselves from leftist politics amidst the Red Scare and the wrecking ball of urban renewal. This portrait of the political shifts that defined Ybor City highlights the underexplored role of women's leadership within movements for social and economic justice as it illustrates how people, places, and politics become who and what they are.

Latinas in the United States: A Historical Encyclopedia records the contribution of women of Latin American birth or heritage to the economic and cultural development of the United States. The encyclopedia, edited by Vicki L. Ruiz and Virginia Sánchez-Korrol, is the first comprehensive gathering of scholarship on Latinas. This encyclopedia will serve as an essential reference for decades to come. In more than 580 entries, the historical and cultural narratives of Latinas come to life. From mestizo settlement, pioneer life, and diasporic communities, the encyclopedia details the contributions of women as settlers, comadres, and landowners, as organizers and nuns. More than 200 scholars explore the experiences of Latinas during and after EuroAmerican colonization and conquest; the early-19th-century migration of Puerto Ricans and Cubans; 20th-century issues of migration, cultural tradition, labor, gender roles, community organization, and politics; and much more. Individual biographical entries profile women who have left their mark on the historical and cultural landscape. With more than 300 photographs, Latinas in the United States offers a mosaic of historical experiences, detailing how Latinas have shaped their own lives, cultures, and communities through mutual assistance and collective action, while confronting the pressures of colonialism, racism, discrimination, sexism, and poverty. "Meant for scholars and general readers, this is a great resource on Latinas and historical topics connected with them." -- curledup.com

This book explores the transnational movements of Mexican migrants in pursuit of labor and civil rights in the United States from the 1920s onward. Working through key historical moments such as the 1930s, the Chicano Movement, and contemporary globalization and neoliberalism, the author examines the relationship between ethnic Mexican expressive culture and the practices sustaining migrant social movements. She addresses how struggles for racial and gender equity, cross-border unity, and economic justice have defined the Mexican presence in the United States since 1910.
