How the South Bronx and Puerto Rican migration defined Fr. Neil Connolly’s priesthood as he learned to both serve and be part of his community South Bronx, 1958. Change was coming. Guidance was sorely needed to bridge the old and the new, for enunciating and implementing a vision. It was a unique place and time in history where Father Neil Connolly found his true calling and spiritual awakening. The Kingdom Began in Puerto Rico captures the spirit of the era and the spirit of this great man. Set in historical context of a changing world and a changing Catholic Church, The Kingdom Began in Puerto Rico follows Fr. Neil Connolly’s path through the South Bronx, which began with a special Church program to address the postwar great Puerto Rican migration. After an immersion summer in Puerto Rico, Fr. Neil served the largest concentration of Puerto Ricans in the Bronx from the 1960s to the 1980s as they struggled for a decent life. Through the teachings of Vatican II, Connolly assumed responsibility for creating a new Church and world. In the war against drugs, poverty, and crime, Connolly created a dynamic organization and chapel run by the people and supported Unitas, a nationally unique peer-driven mental health program for youth. Frustrated by the lack of institutional responses to his community’s challenges, Connolly challenged government abandonment and spoke out against ill-conceived public plans. Ultimately, he realized that his priestly mission was in developing new leaders among people, in the Church and the world, and supporting two nationally unique lay leadership programs, the Pastoral Center and People for Change. Discovering the real mission of priesthood, urban ministry, and the Catholic Church in the United States, author Angel Garcia ably blends the dynamic forces of Church and world that transformed Fr. Connolly as he grew into his vocation. The book presents a rich history of the South Bronx and calls for all urban policies to begin with the people, not for the people. It also affirms the continuing relevance of Vatican II and Medellin for today’s Church and world, in the United States and Latin America.

Examines material culture and the act of institution creation, especially through architecture and landscape, to recount a deeper history of the lives of African American women in the post-Civil War South. This volume focuses broadly on the history of the social welfare reform work of nineteenth-century African American women who founded industrial and normal schools in the American South. Through their work in architecture and education, these women helped to memorialize the trauma and struggle of black Americans. Author Angel David Nieves tells the story of women such as Elizabeth Evelyn Wright (1872-1906), founder of the Voorhees Industrial School (now Voorhees College) in Denmark, South Carolina, in 1897, who not only promoted a program of race uplift through industrial education but also engaged with many of the pioneering African American architects of the period to design a school and surrounding community. Similarly, Jane (Jennie) Serepta Dean (1848-1913), a former slave, networked with elite Northern white designers to found the Manassas Industrial School in Manassas, Virginia, in 1892. An Architecture of Education examines the work of these women educators and reformers as a form of nascent nation building, noting the ways in which the social and political ideology of race uplift and gendered agency that they embodied was inscribed on the built environment through the design and construction of these model schools. In uncovering these women's role in the shaping of African American public spheres in the post-Reconstruction South, the book makes an important contribution to the history of African Americans' long struggle for equality and civil rights in the United States. Angel David Nieves is Professor of History and Digital Humanities at San Diego State University.

Un encuentro azaroso en el transcurso de un viaje a Italia provoca un cambio inesperado en la vida del protagonista de este libro. De vuelta a Madrid, con el peso sobre sí de ese aguijón que fue el sueño italiano ? irreal y real a la vez -, se suceden historias con distintas amantes, todas ellas promesas que parecen mitigar ? si no eliminar del todo - enterradas insatisfacciones. Historias sentimentales se suceden mientras la vida profesional del protagonista le exige oscuras fidelidades al ministro de Cultura, de quien es asesor. Cuando menos lo espera, sin embargo, la catástrofe se asoma a la vida de este cínico buscador de aventuras sexuales y, a partir de entonces, empieza el intento por rehacer su vida. Una especie de fatal espiral, con algo de redención y mortificación, le lleva a volver los pasos sobre sí mismo, como si buscara así los cabos sueltos que le permitieran comprender su existencia. Ya sin su mujer, vuelve a Italia, acompañado de María, la sustituta de todas las mujer

Las cartas de John Keats (1795-1821) son en buena medida el relato impremeditado, casual y espontáneo del descubrimiento de la poesía por parte de un joven que iba para médico y que renunció a serlo por una causa mayor que se le impuso como una revelación: la Poesía misma. Pero también estas cartas hablan de sus precariedades económicas, de su vitalismo amenazado por sus fragilidades psicológicas, de sus amistades expuestas a las decepciones y a los desencuentros, de la vulgar y mediocre vida literaria londinense, del amor absoluto por Fanny Brawne, su vecina en Hamsptead. Y ofrecen, por último, la ocasión para asistir a la forja de una sensibilidad extrema abierta a experimentar la Belleza en todas sus expresiones como camino recto para el descubrimiento de la Verdad vital, y dan fe del pensamiento deslumbrante de Keats sobre múltiples cosas, la felicidad, el camino propio, la naturaleza, la sencillez, la amistad, el amor, los escritores de su tiempo (Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, B

Todo se parece a algo reúne los escritos críticos y testimonios de Angel Ferrant (1890-1961) prologados y anotados por Javier Arnaldo y Olga Fernández. Ferrant es uno de los más importantes escultores del siglo xx. Su obra es tan sencilla y en ocasiones materialmente elemental como rigurosa y original. Sus móviles, objetos encontrados, figuras humanas y naturales configuran una galaxia que se mueve en el mundo que también crearon Joan Miró y Alexander Calder, con los que Ferrant mantuvo estrecho contacto.

El análisis de la vida, la obra y la influencia de Lev Vygotski realizado en este libro supone una de las más lúcidas interpretaciones de la contribución de Vygotski al desarrollo de la psicología, pero también constituye un verdadero análisis sociocultural de la obra de Vygotski. A través de algunas notas biográficas del psicólogo ruso, desde sus inicios en la psicología hasta los últimos diez años que antecedieron a su prematura muerte, se inicia un acercamiento reflexivo a la obra de Vygotski, autor que ha dejado una profunda huella en la psicología, y se ha erigido como uno de los principales baluartes de la Psicología Socio-histórica, cuyo principal lugar de referencia se encuentra en la Psicología Rusa.

Nacida en Tánger, de padre gibraltareño y madre andaluza, rodeada de amigas hebreas sefarditas, Juanita es una solterona resentida en una ciudad cosmopolita y liberal, punto de encuentro de artistas y culturas, un entorno en vías de extinción. Bajo la personalidad estricta y rabiosa de Juanita, presa de una moral hostigadora con la que juzga a quienes la rodean, fluye un torrente de anhelos ocultos, la fascinación por el cine, la atracción que le provocan los hombres, la envidia y los celos que siente hacia su hermana, símbolo de todo aquello que es moderno y abierto, frente a la desolación y la irremediable soledad de su propia vida vacía.Una de las mejores novelas españolas del siglo xx, la mejor quizá entre las malditas, Javier Valenzuela, El País.

La exploración históricoteológica del misterio de la Iglesia, que la BAC publica hoy, en coedición con el Estudio Teológico de San Ildefonso, constituye la segunda parte de una trilogía eclesiológica. En la primera ha expuesto el autor la teología bíblica sobre la Iglesia en la unidad esencial de la revelación vétero y neotestamentaria (La Iglesia de Cristo. El Israel de la Vieja y de la Nueva Alianza [BAC Maior 15], Madrid 1977). La tercera parte será de reflexión estrictamente teológicosistemática y abordará los problemas más candentes que tiene planteados hoy la eclesiología respecto al ser y al obrar de la Iglesia.Comienza esta obra con el despuntar del segundo milenio, porque éste señala un momento crucial en la historia de la Iglesia y de la eclesiología. Sobre todo, porque las publicaciones de otros historiadores del dogma eclesiológico no cruzaron el umbral de este segundo milenio.Un milenio es ciertamente un arco de tiempo tan amplio como para sentir vértigo en cualqui

Un joven sin nombre narra, con calma y preciosismo, historias del pasado: un mundo rural, moribundo, que naufraga entre silencio, abandono y amores no correspondidos, sepultado bajo el inmenso firmamento castellano que enmudece a estos humildes comedores de tierra de la posguerra. En la tradición de Viejas historias de Castilla la Vieja, de Miguel Delibes, esta novela de Ángel Vallecillo resucita a la España vacía y la revindica como centro universal: miseria, almas resignadas, traición y alabanzas al Cielo. La suerte de un submundo olvidado que sobrevive más allá de las ciudades y autovías.Los comedores de tierra es una de las novelas más bucólicas y conmovedoras en la carrera de este escritor cimarrón y difícilmente clasificable.

El sindicalista que acusó a Lenin de la falta de libertad de su puedo, de su autoritarismo, del hambre en las calles rusas, del concepto de Revolución y su contraposición a la dictadura del proletariado.Aunque hoy sea una figura injustamente olvidada, Ángel Pestaña (San Tomás de las Ollas, 1886-Barcelona, 1937) fue secretario general de la CNT en repetidas ocasiones, fundador del Partido Sindicalista y Diputado en Cortes Generales por la provincia de Cádiz. Setenta días en Rusia. Lo que yo vi, es un texto publicado originalmente en 1924, en el que se narra el viaje emprendido a Moscú, en 1920, para presentar la adhesión de la CNT a la Internacional Comunista, donde conocería a Lenin, Trotsky o Grigory Zinoviev. Pestaña, no obstante, encarnaba esa raza de desengañados del bolchevismo como el húngaro Arthur Koestler, de igual modo que manifestaba una repulsa a la tiranía leninista que se empareja con la de Rosa Luxemburgo, quien también quiso hermanar humanidad y revolución.Pese a

Join pastor’s wife, mother of four, and entrepreneur, Angel Williams, on a journey of faith, frugality, and family, as she finds treasure in the most unexpected places.We live in a society where it’s not uncommon to buy something one week and throw it away the next. We constantly throw out serviceable and even valuable items without a second thought. But to Angel Williams that’s an opportunity. Angel started dumpster diving out of curiosity when a woman at church mentioned it to her, but it quickly turned into a sizeable side-business to help support her growing, blended family. She learned quickly that dumpster diving is far from a last resort for those in unfortunate circumstances. It can be a fun and profitable family activity! In Finding Your Treasure, Angel shares how dumpster diving fits into her family’s Christian mission, how she started her business, and the moral case for reusing and recycling what your neighbors throw away. With a focus on faith and community, Angel opens up about her own journey, from starting to dive to growing her own YouTube following. Angel shares her most amazing finds, including $1,000 cash, designer handbags, and even toys and furniture for her family. She’ll take you through where you can find the best places to dive, how to pick which items to sell or donate, how to put safety first, and where you can find your own local community of fellow divers.

When unambitious scholar Ramoon Beltra receives a mysterious invitation to a lucrative six-month fellowship at the University of Lerna in Switzerland, he reluctantly complies with the unusual qualifying paperwork requiring several pages of detailed measurements and photographs of his entire body. Beltra soon finds himself in the deserted university town of Lerna, together with twenty-three other ''novices'' subject to the same undisclosed project - all of them doppelgangers of Beltra himself. At first, Beltra is the only one to bristle at the school''s dizzying array of rules and regulations, but this all changes with the onset of an uncontrollable epidemic, and the fellows begin dying off one by one... The Novices of Lerna is a meditation on identity, surveillance, and isolation that remains eerily relevant. Shot through with wry humour and tender absurdity, this novella offers a perfect introduction to Angel Bonomini''s incomparable body of work.

A detailed guide to the three successive initiatic archetypes: Craftsman, Warrior, and Magician • Investigates the symbolism, rituals, and metaphysical aspects of each initiatic archetype, from the alchemy and shamanism of the craftsman, to the subtle energy work of the warrior, to the sex magic practices and Higher Self work of the magician • Shares meditations, practices, and transformational techniques for each archetype • Investigates the similarities between contemporary Western occultism, from Crowley to Chaos Magic, and the “positive thinking” mind metaphysics movement Exploring the craftsman, warrior, and magician archetypes--three vocations that echo the traditional tripartite division of society--Angel Millar reveals how these archetypes represent the three successive stages of spiritual growth in an individual’s life. He shows how they provide structure for the initiatory process to develop one’s mental, physical, and spiritual potential. As craftsman, the individual experiences “mnemonic” initiation: the cultivation of memory as well as language. As warrior, “somatic” initiation: development of the physical body and cultivation of the spirit body. And as magician, “gnostic” initiation: cultivation of the self and manifestation of the Higher Self. Investigating the metaphysical aspects of each archetype, the author explores their symbolism, spiritual practices, and rituals. Examining the craftsman archetype, he looks at metallurgy, alchemy, and the “Craft” of Freemasonry, as well as the ancient role of blacksmith as shaman. He explores the idea of God as a “Creator” or “Craftsman,” especially in relation to ancient Greek philosophy, Islamic neoplatonism, and the Kabbalah. Examining the warrior archetype, he reveals how the way of the warrior was affected by religion and mysticism, such as how the Persian martial art of Zoorkhaneh was profoundly shaped by Sufism and why the Buddhist Shaolin temple became synonymous with Kung Fu. The author places special emphasis on the cultivation of subtle energy as practiced in martial arts, especially in relation to Taoist inner alchemy. Examining the magician archetype, he reveals how each individual has two “selves”--a lower self and a Higher Self--and explores the union of opposites studied by the magician, such as in the tantric arts and sacred sex magic. Sharing meditations, practices, and processes associated with each archetype, as well as techniques for transforming one’s consciousness, he also investigates similarities between contemporary Western occultism, from Crowley to Chaos Magic, and the “positive thinking” mind metaphysics movement. Structured to parallel the three archetypal stages of the initiatic process, this comprehensive guide offers a literary initiation through three degrees of esoteric knowledge.

A collection of epistolary poems that exorcises and explores the material violence and generational trauma of colonization and systemic racism stored within queer Latinx memory. In DESGRACIADO, Angel Dominguez navigates language and memory to illuminate the ongoing traumas of misremembered and missing histories and their lasting impacts. Dominguez unravels a critical and tender language of lived experience in letters addressed to their ancestral oppressor, Diego de Landa, (a Spanish friar who attempted to destroy the written Maya language in Mani Yucatán, on July 12th 1562), to articulate an old rage, dreaming of a futurity beyond the wreckage and ruin of the colonial imaginary. This collection doesn't seek to heal the incurable wound of colonization so much as attempt to re-articulate a language towards recuperation.

El libro analiza las nuevas estrategias de acción municipalistas, dentro y fuera de las instituciones, y que surgen como respuesta a la crisis, la distancia de los instrumentos clásicos de la política y la búsqueda de un protagonismo social, esta vez, desde lógicas de proximidad, de territorios con afán de democracia.Para ello recogemos textos de análisis que sitúan el debate municipalista, tanto las tradiciones como las nuevas miradas que buscan un empoderamiento desde lo local: los principios de cogestión pública y autogestión social, la defensa de derechos desde el municipio o cómo relocalizar nuestros sistemas económicos. Y, sobre todo, nos hemos puesto a dialogar con activistas en diferentes grupos de debate celebrados en Barcelona, Madrid y Córdoba. Los encuentros, retos y desencuentros son expuestos como contribución principal de este trabajo.Finalmente, el epílogo analiza la cuestión de los lazos y las confianzas detrás de estas redes locales, así como las candidaturas
