History & Criticism

A rare insight into the life of a Cape Verdean American, this memoir tells of an everyday woman's life of extraordinary measure—the small ways in which she contributed and inspired those around her. Belmira Nunes Lopes worked for equality, for the recognition of her culture, and fought a personal battle of identity. Composed from interviews with her niece, Belmira's story speaks of her upbringing in America without fully understanding her full ethnic and cultural background until adulthood, details how her family immigrated from Cape Verde and struggled to make a life in their new nation, and covers the impact she strove to have on the world during her long and unique life.

Twenty-One Poems

de Oca, Marco Antonio Montes

The best of Eduardo Mallea's many volumes of essays, this collection was first published in 1937 and predates all of his novels, which pulled existential themes from these writings. Written from the perspective of a liberal thinker in Argentina who saw his nation in the 1930s as being dominated by repressive forces that betrayed the fundamental ideals upon which the country was built, this collection serves as both the author's spiritual autobiography and a contribution to the history of Argentina.

Complicated relationship triangles plague the characters of these two novellas by Latin American writer José Bianco. In Shadow Play, three sections give focus to three different characters in turn, and each battles the dangerous balance between love and loss, as well as the varying forms in which the two sides can manifest. The Rats reveals the complex desires and motives involved in a twisted family secret. Intensely psychological, there is more than one mystery at work in the story.

Dramas & Plays

Presented in a bilingual format that honors the poet's native Spanish language, this collection of poems represents a deep and spiritual inner-journey, taking on themes of femininity, desire, writing, and corruption. Exposing both the dark truths of female stereotypes and politics, the poems are bold and resonant.

The poems in this collection comprise a significant addition to the oeuvre of one of the best-loved and most representative Puerto Rican poets of the 20th century. Presented with the original Spanish-language poems opposite the English translation, the poems resonate with universality and hard truths that announces themselves subtly, through metaphor and suggestion. The book also contains biographical information, notes, and a bibliography.
