Hardback. Condición: Good. Beloved by the immigrants and working people whose rights he has championed, twelve-term Congressman Luis Gutierrez is, among Latinos and along with Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the most recognized Hispanic public figure in America. Here Gutierrez recounts his life between two worlds: too Puerto Rican in America, where he was born and yet was told to "go back to where you came from"; too American in Puerto Rico, where he was ridiculed as a "gringo" who couldn?t speak Spanish. For much of his early life, he seemed like the last person who would rise to national prominence. Yet his tremendous will and resilience shaped his varied experiences?from picking coffee beans to driving a cab?into one of the most surprising careers in American politics. He campaigned for Chicago?s first black mayor, Harold Washington. Someone threw a Molotov cocktail through the window of his house, and he only grew more committed to reform. Tested in the crucible of the notoriously tough Chicago city council, he earned the nickname "El Gallito": the little fighting rooster. Gutierrez was one of the first Latino public figures to support gay rights; he led the fight to cut Congressional paychecks, hashed out legislation with both Ted Kennedy and John McCain, and fought with Newt Gingrich and George W. Bush. Despite his strong support for Barack Obama in two elections, he was arrested twice while protesting for immigrants in front of the Obama White House. From recollections of his failures as a teenage activist to his crackling observations of the nautical décor in Kennedy?s office and the white-gloved waiters of the Speaker?s dining room, Gutierrez is as endearing to the reader as he is sometimes maddening to his colleagues, inspiring us all to stand up for our rights and for those of others.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Former LAPD cop-turned private investigator Yolanda vila blames herself for her mother's death. If she'd only followed her cop instincts instead of the juju--her random prophetic dreams--the perpetrator would have been off the streets and her mother would still be alive. The only salve against her guilt is Yolanda's vow to reject that juju crap, and to solve cases using only good solid detective work. But when her godson is kidnapped and his parents are suspected of murder, Yolanda finds herself caught between what she feels and what she knows. And with the escalation of the case comes the escalation of her dreams. Until she can no longer ignore their importance. If she wants to overcome the guilt and deal with her pent-up grief, Yolanda must confront the juju and learn to trust its place in her life. If she doesn't, she risks losing yet another loved one. And she can't possibly let that happen. A Yolanda vila Mystery.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. «En el mucho tiempo que llevo en la cosa p blica, de manera perif rica, puedo afirmar que conozco muy bien a las mujeres de M xico. El feminismo silencioso es suyo y m o. No hemos necesitado mayores discusiones para saber que merecemos equidad, solidaridad, oportunidades, un por favor permanente, un gracias eterno . En este ensayo, Beatriz Guti rrez M ller, quien cuenta con una reconocida trayectoria acad mica, se interroga sobre ideas fundamentales en torno al feminismo y c mo estas la atraviesan en su condici n de mujer, en particular, por encontrarse como tal bajo el escrutinio p blico. De igual forma, resignifica y actualiza tres conceptos, con los cuales fundamenta el feminismo silencioso: el silencio como una forma de hablar, la transferencia y la resistencia. Considera que la mayor parte de las mujeres de M xico son capaces de remontar circunstancias adversas y --en cualquier caso-- que escuchan, comprenden, interpretan; pero tambi n batallan y toman decisiones importantes todos los d as. No hay, insiste, mujeres de primera ni de segunda. «El feminismo silencioso es, por sobre todas las cosas, un homenaje a las mujeres ignoradas. Para que jam s olviden el gran poder que tienen ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In the long time that I have been in public affairs, in a peripheral way, I can affirm that I know the women of Mexico very well. Silent feminism is hers and mine. We have not needed further discussions to know that we deserve equity, solidarity, opportunities, a permanent 'please', an eternal 'thank you'. In this essay, Beatriz Guti rrez M ller, who has a recognized academic career, questions fundamental ideas about feminism and how these affect her as a woman, in particular, because she is under public scrutiny as such. In the same way, she resignifies and updates three concepts, with which silent feminism is based: silence as a way of speaking, transference and resistance. She considers that most women in Mexico are capable of overcoming adverse circumstances and, in any case, that they listen, understand, and interpret; but they also struggle and make important decisions every day. There are no women, she insists, first or second class women. Silent feminism is, above all things, a tribute to ignored women. So that they never forget the great power they have. …
