En esta veintena de textos que recorren cinco décadas, Luis Rafael Sánchez aborda de frente «el repudio feroz a la ignominia que representan los odios raciales», desde la esclavitud y la lucha por los derechos civiles en Estados Unidos hasta el homicidio de George Floyd, y de Nelson Mandela a Meghan Markle, en ensayos ya clásicos como «El pelo malo», «Las señas del Caribe», «Todo sobre la nariz» o «Soy negro y qué».

Luis Rafael Sánchez celebra la aportación de la mulatez y la negritud a la historia y cultura del Caribe, y confronta los juicios y prejuicios en torno a las cuestiones de raza y de clase social que están presentes en el devenir político y social de Puerto Rico: «El idioma y la historia varían de Jamaica a Haití, de Aruba al Caribe hispánico. Pero la prietura permanece como la señal que hermana los piélagos antillanos».

«La obra letrada de Luis Rafael Sánchez ha sido embajada errante de una nación sin embajadas. Imposible entender a Roma sin Virgilio, a Italia sin Dante, a España sin Cervantes, a Argentina sin Borges. Igualmente es imposible entender al Puerto Rico contemporáneo sin Luis Rafael Sánchez. Las culturas constituidas siempre descansan sobre los hombros de sus grandes artistas» --Luce López-Baralt y Aníbal González.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


A collection of texts written over 50 years that deal with the racism and colorism present in Puerto Rico and America at large.


Through over twenty texts spanning five decades, Luis Rafael Sánchez confronts racial hatred--from slavery and the fight for civil rights in the U.S., to the murder of George Floyd; from Nelson Mandela to Meghan Markle, in iconic essays such as «El pelo malo» (Bad Hair), and «Todo sobre la nariz» (Everything about the nose).


Luis Rafael Sánchez celebrates the contributions of the Black and Afrolatino community to the history and culture of the Caribbean, confronting the prejudice around race and social class that is still present in Puerto Rico and visible in its day-to-day.

This is a favorite…
Format: Board book
I love Eric Carle and this book always brings smiles to little faces! The illustrations/paintings are so fun and vibrant and the animal sounds are very exciting for babies and toddlers to hear. When they are able to push the images themselves to make the sounds.. it’s a very proud moment for them😉. Books can help create and sustain wonder. There are so many beautiful ones..and this is a classic.

Great book
Format: Board book
Arrived a few days ahead of schedule, all electronic buttons work, no wear and tear at all really (for being a used book at 3$ instead of 22$ it was a hell of a deal) would gladly by from this thrift store again. As for the book my toddler LOVES it. Animal sounds are clear and entertaining to him, there is also some weather sounds for storms and rain. And some random buttons for up and jump and a weird musical cues (overall less then 5 semi pointless buttons) it’s a good one for toddlers :) ADDED INFO : okay so the back is so heavy it’s completely split into two . Not the sellers fault- it’s just seen that much use... repaired it with cloth and electrical tape we will see how it does.

My kid loves it
Format: Board book
I gave this book to my little boy as he usually looks at it in youtube. The look on his face when he received this book is priceless. No words can describe the feeling of happiness on his face. It was an amazing experience for me as well. This book, he bring wherever he goes. Because of the hard bound cover, it withstood his constant abuse. Volume and clarity of the sounds were amazing.
