En cada generación hay una vidente que mantiene las historias con vida. Luz 'Little Light" Lopez, lectora de hojas de té y lavandera, debe valerse por sí misma cuando su hermano Diego, encantador de serpientes y obrero fabril, tiene que huir de la ciudad a causa de una turba violenta de supremacistas blancos. Mientras Luz se abre camino en el Denver de los años treinta, empieza a tener visiones que la transportan a la tierra indígena donde nació: la Tierra Perdida. Luz presencia los orígenes de sus ancestros, cómo floreció su familia y cómo se vio amenazada. Atestigua las fuerzas siniestras que han devastado su pueblo y sus tierras durante generaciones. Al final, depende de ella salvar de las garras del olvido las historias de su familia.

Ambientadas en el maravilloso escenario de Denver, Colorado, un lugar tan feroz como exquisito, estas mujeres navegan la tierra de la misma manera que navegan sus vidas: con cautela, gracia y una fuerza silenciosa. En el cuento "Sugar Babies", la ascendencia y el patrimonio están ocultos en la tierra, pero tienden a resurgir durante las disputas territoriales. En "Más Allá del Oeste" seguimos a una trabajadora sexual y a su hija al dejar su hogar ancestral en el sur de Colorado solo para encontrar una tierra hostil y extraña en California. En "Tomi", una mujer regresa a casa después de haber estado en la prisión, y encuentra una ciudad gentrificada que es solo una sombra de la que recuerda de su infancia. Y en el relato que da título al libro, "Sabrina & Corina", una familia de Denver cae en un ciclo de violencia contra las mujeres, uniéndose solo a través de rituales. Sabrina & Corina es una conmovedora narrativa de inquebrantable poder femenino y una exploración de las experiencias universales del abandono, del patrimonio y de un sentido eterno de hogar.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6827073</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6827073</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[spa]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fajardo-Anstine, Kali]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6827073109</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>spa</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798890983169/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woman of Light]]></title><description><![CDATA[A dazzling epic of betrayal, love, and fate that spans five generations of an Indigenous Chicano family in the American West, from the author of the National Book Award finalist Sabrina & CorinaA Phenomenal Book Club Pick " "Sometimes you just step into a book and let it wash over you, like you're swimming under a big, sparkling night sky."--Celeste Ng, author of Little Fires Everywhere and Everything I Never Told YouONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022--The Millions, Electric Lit, Lit Hub, Book RiotThere is one every generation, a seer who keeps the stories.

Kali Fajardo-Anstine's magnetic story collection breathes life into her Indigenous Latina characters and the land they inhabit. Against the remarkable backdrop of Denver, Colorado--a place that is as fierce as it is exquisite--these women navigate the land the way they navigate their lives: with caution, grace, and quiet force. In "Sugar Babies," ancestry and heritage are hidden inside the earth but tend to rise during land disputes. "Any Further West" follows a sex worker and her daughter as they leave their ancestral home in southern Colorado only to find a foreign and hostile land in California. In "Tomi," a woman leaves prison and finds herself in a gentrified city that is a shadow of the one she remembers from her childhood. And in the title story, "Sabrina & Corina," a Denver family falls into a cycle of violence against women, coming together only through ritual. Sabrina & Corina is a moving narrative of unrelenting feminine power and an exploration of the universal experiences of abandonment, heritage, and an eternal sense of home.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5956182</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5956182</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fajardo-Anstine, Kali]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5956182109</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>Stories</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781984832191/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freeman's]]></title><description><![CDATA["Over a century ago, Rilke went to the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, where he watched a pair of flamingos. A flock of other birds screeched by, and, as he describes in a poem, the great red-pink birds sauntered on, unphased, then "stretched amazed and singly march into the imaginary." This encounter--so strange, so typical of flamingos, with their fabulous posture--is also still typical of how we interact with animals. Even as our actions threaten their very survival, they are still symbolic, captivating and captive, caught in a drama of our framing. This issue of Freeman's tells the story of that interaction, its costs, its tendernesses, the mythological flex of it. From lovers in a Chiara Barzini story, falling apart as a group of wild boars roams in their Roman neighborhood, to the soppen emergency birth of a cow on a Wales farm, stunningly described by Cynan Jones, no one has the moral high ground here. Nor is this a piece of mourning. There's wonder, humor, rage, and relief, too. Featuring pigeons, calves, stray dogs, mascots, stolen cats, and bears, to the captive, tortured animals who make up our food supply, powerfully described in Nobel Prize-winner Olga Tokarczuk's essay, this wide-ranging issue of Freeman's will stimulate discussion and dreams alike" -- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6365106</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6365106</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6365106109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Animals</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780802160126/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Best Debut Short Stories 2021]]></title><description><![CDATA["The annual--and essential--collection of the newest voices in short fiction, selected this year by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Kali Fajardo-Anstine, and Beth Piatote.

Including contributions by Roxane Gay, Alice Hoffman, Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Shivana Sookdeo, and Bryan Washington. In the Between presents characters of differing and mixed cultural backgrounds, genders, sexuality, and ableness, some affected by urban gentrification or the decline of their rural town--all striving to forge a future in today's divided America. Masterful and boldly intimate, these stories urge us to embrace a complex understanding of who we are as a nation and who we can be as individuals. Other contributors are Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Maria Anderson, Ryka Aoki, Joy Baglio, Kali Fajardo-Anstine, Nancy Fulda, Vanessa Hua, Bryan Hurt, Phil Klay, Mister Loki, Casey Robb, Rion Amilcar Scott, Akhil Sharma, and Robert Anthony Siegel. To meet her immigrant parents' expectations, a daughter fakes her way into a top university and finds the only way out is through revenge. A strait-laced Black man, an accountant who is repeatedly mistaken for a drug dealer, decides to track down and get to know his double. A trans woman considers her new femininity in relation to her activist lesbian friend and her grandmother, who fled from her homeland in war-torn Vietnam. An American soldier in Fallujah suffers from PTSD after he covers for his buddy who shoots an Iraqi boy. A girl anguishes over choosing to have an abortion amidst questions of environmental destruction. After a father disappears into the forest, will his grown son live in their dilapidated trailer and wash dishes in a restaurant forever or will he leave their shrinking logging town?"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6266646</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6266646</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6266646109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>21st Century Short Stories</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780892555468/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
