Tapa blanda. Condition: New. Una concentración de vulnerabilidades pide a gritos acción comunitaria. Quizás eso explique el furor asociativo que sacude al barrio. Escribir desde ese furor es ya una forma de cambiar lo que puede ser dicho y visto. Como lo es sacar a la calle la silla de la palabra, atendiendo a la cháchara desafiante de las aceras estrechicas. Puede que se trate de una resistencia pequeña, pero ay cuando además es obstinada. Ay cuando se apropia de un decir nuestro que tiene mucho de muertito y nos lo devuelve (¡al barrio, de nuevo al barrio!) en estado de riesgo. Hay un desafío en las palabras que se juntan como esos dedos "que también son puños". Hay una falta de miedo y una exigencia: ser miradas desde otro lugar.Los poemas que aquí se recogen tienen más de una cara, o lados diferentes de la misma. Hay abuelos que mueren dos veces, bebés que se caen de las manos, padres asesinados, zapatos primeros y amantes descalzos. Hay préstamos de cuerpo. No solo porque en cada historia de vida se esconde alguien pidiendo que nos pongamos en su piel, sino porque todo poema es un organismo debajo del cual se arrastran, palpitan y se imponen otros organismos a la deriva.Del prólogo de Erika Martínez. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Antonio A. Nieva, a survivor of the Bataan Death March, remembers with fury and tenderness the battles fought by Filipino and American forces in the Philippines during World War II, from the time the USAFFE (United States Armed Forces in the Far East) recruited college boys from their ROTC units to the liberation of the Philippines by General Douglas MacArthur and his troops. Historical facts blend with personal vignettes, giving an intimate, moving, and sometimes humorous account of how the war affected soldiers and townfolk, housewives and society matrons, hustlers and gamblers, and the young and idealistic 20-year-olds who hied to the hills to fight a guerilla war against the Japanese. The Fall of Bataan was the largest defeat in history of the U.S. Army. Abandoned with only outmoded weapons and no supplies, the "Battling Bastards of Bataan" nevertheless held out for three months of fierce skirmishing, their victories delaying the Pacific advance of the Japanese Imperial forces. In the midst of the fighting, General MacArthur, Philippine Commonwealth President Manuel Quezon, and their families slipped away from Corregidor bound for Australia. America had decided to concentrate on the European war and it took three years for the General to fulfill his promise to return to the Philippines. "The last battle was not a battle. It was a rout," the author writes. "What is the death of an army like? There is no cohesive picture, just a series of disconnected rushes of a grade-B horror movie. Somewhere along a trail, Lt. Dima lay on his side, bent knees and arms enfolding his groin, crooning a death lullaby to himself: 'Patay na 'ko (I'm dead already, ' his last gasp between flickering life and recognition in the dimming eyes. By midnight the battalions had evaporated. In the Regimental Command Post, the Colonel to the assembled staff said: It's over. Save yourselves. Good luck." The author intersperses the horrors of the tortured, the dead, and dying during the Bataan Death March and the even more atrocious conditions at the POW Camp O'Donnell with stories of a failed escape attempt (not knowing what to do, the escapees returned to the March) and the procurement of chicken from a Japanese prison guard who didn't know the difference between five and ten peso bills. Malaria, dysentery, starvation, and war time cruelty killed more than 20,000 imprisoned Bataan soldiers. The Filipinos were released as part of Japan's strategy to unite Asians under a Greater Co-Prosperity Sphere free of western colonizers. They found Manila Japanized: Dewey Boulevard had become Heiwa, Taft Avenue Daitoa. Everyone had to learn Nippongo, and some of Manila's 400 collaborated with the new power. But did they? "Most of the double plays were so successful that soon the question became who was who?"' the author relates. Survival meant BSes (buyers and sellers and bullshitters), but still Manilenos managed to enjoy "everybody's parties" and "floating casinos" (floating from place to place). "Cadet, Soldier, Guerilla Fighter" also recalls how a future president, mistaken for a Japanese, narrowly eluded execution by friendly fire. In a future election that would cement martial law in the country, Ferdinand Marcos would face an opposition presidential candidate, Raul Manglapus, who, under the guise of a choir boy, planned a bloodless jailbreak from Muntinlupa prison with Fr. Jaime Neri and other guerilla fighters. As Captain Lancer with the Hunters-ROTC Guerillas, the author gives a first-hand account of the Los Banos Raid that freed nearly 2,000 American and Allied civilians as Japan's sun was descending into defeat. The Hunters, including its leaders Teddy Adevoso, Tabo Ingles, Frisco San Juan, and Tony Nieva, would remain colleagues in the fight for Filipino World War II veterans' rights, a battle that remains relevant to this day.

First edition of Pepi's treatise on inequality, a direct refutation of Rousseau's own incendiary work on the subject. Pepi argues that there is an innate physical and moral inequality in men, and in consequence an inequality in their rights and duties. He promotes leadership by philosopher rulers who can advance the general happiness. The vulgar have a duty to follow the wise, and consequently the right of the father in the family and monarchs in society is asserted. The treatise is grounded in enlightenment thought, includes references to Hume and Hutcheson, and broadly supports the concept of "enlightened despotism". The caustic Satires of the Neapolitan painter Rosa were first published in 1664, and reprinted various times into the 18th century. Two works bound in a single vol., octavo (168 x 106 mm). Engraved portrait in Rosa. Contemporary Irish calf, red morocco label, marbled endpapers, green edges. Bookplate of Michael Kearney (1734-1814), professor of history and law at Trinity College Dublin, to front pastedown. Minimal rubbing, contents clean and fresh; excellent.…
