Caribbean Books

Great book, I use it in my art Grad class, great seller, everything went smooth and clear. AAA+

As somebody who was not that familiar with the world of Latin art, this book provided me with a better understanding of over 30 artisits and their works. The vivid color pages and exciting material which is both English and Spanish made this a wonderful purchase, a great coffee table book. I liked it so much that I am going to buy a few to give to people for gifts.

Happy reading!!!

Dr. Aldama's critical and biographical introduction to the work and life of the late Arturo Islas (author of The Rain God, Migrant Souls, and La Mollie and the King of Tears) beautifully contours the nuances of all of this Chicano author's unpublished poetry, short stories, and scholarly essays. Culled from archives at Stanford University, the many works collected and edited offer a complex view of Arturo Islas who began to explore in fiction and poetry issues of sexual (gay) and racial (Chicano) identity in his early 20s (the late 1950s) while taking classes with Hortense Calisher, Wallace Stegner, and Yvor Winters at Stanford. For any scholar serious about Chicano/a literary studies--or any reader interested in Chicano/a letters generally--this is a must read.

Although Aruba is a small island, it's nice to have a high quality,indestructable map that provides the detail that is usually absent from most guidebooks.

If you're a "map weenie", this is a great one!

I went to several bookstores to find a hard cover picture book on Aruba but could not find what I wanted. When I searched Amazon.com and came across the Aruba, Bonaire And Curacao hard cover book I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. I am using this as a guest sign in book for my wedding. I did not want the typical sign your name type wedding book. This book will allow guests to write in memorable words for my fiance and I to look back on for years to come.

This book is an impressive introduction to the art in stone of the Pre-Colombian world. As such it complements the many publications covering the broad range of Pre-Colombian art.
The approach chosen, one of an in depth review of a single, exceptional and very high standard collection makes the book more than a mnere documentation of artifacts brought together in one place.
The respective chapters are written with an exceptional understanding of the topic and the photographing is of a very high standard.
Warmly recommended.

Arancibia shares reflections, thoughts and emotions in this impressive collection of poems. I couldn't put it down and it pulled at my heart as I toured the pages of this excellent book.

As long as you don't get sucked into believing the hype that this is the only navigation/weather resource you will need, this book is an excellent buy. You definitely need a Pilot Chart and this is not the only one available, but you can't go wrong with it.

I enjoyed this book tremendously and I anxiously await more books from Mr. Baldeosingh.

The Avant-Garde And Geopolitics In Latin America is a close study of cannonical Latin American avant-garde texts of the 1920s and 1930s, including novels, travel writing, journalism, and poetry, revealing them as seeds of modern Western culture and precursors of global culture. Author Fernando J. Rosenberg (asst. professor, Dept. of Spanish and Portuguese, Yale University) scrutinizes the long-term global and political implications of Latin American literature, supporting his conclusions with extensive notes and references. Especially recommended for Latin American literature and history students, The Avant-Garde And Geopolitics In Latin America an advanced discourse of cultural reverberations that far transcend their decade, and even their century, of origin.
