Esta novela, ambientada en la turbulenta Cuba desde la post-independencia, la Revolución de Machado, la Constitución del 40, el golpe de estado de Batista, y finalmente el inicio de la Revolución Cubana, narra la vida de Josefina, madre de la autora, y cómo su relación con otras mujeres la lleva a desafiar la sociedad patriarcal. Lola, madre de Josefina y adolescente viuda de un oficial español, subsiste gracias al amor prohibido con su confesor. Minerva, la otra hija de Lola, es forzada por su marido a renunciar a la herencia que le dejó el cura. Gema, la mejor amiga de Josefina, es la heredera del rey del Habano, y la introduce en el glamoroso mundo de la burguesía habanera de los años veinte, mientras que Marcelina, la nana, inicia a su hija, Sonia Julia de Jesús, en el mundo de los orishas afrocubanos. Estrella es una campesina a quien Josefina convierte en empresaria; y Beatriz y Emelina, ilustran, ante la mirada crítica de la protagonista, el binomio republicano de la esposa y la amante. Josefina se propone un destino diferente para sí misma, no supeditarse nunca a la autoridad masculina. Para lograrlo, se apoya en un diálogo permanente con el Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, que comienza siempre con la misma pregunta: «Dime alma mía, ¿qué mal te aqueja?»

Sex, drugs, religion, and love are potent combinations in la zona, a regulated prostitution zone in the city of Reynosa, across the border from Hidalgo, Texas. During the years 2008 and 2009, a time of intense drug violence, Sarah Luna met and built relationships with two kinds of migrants, women who moved from rural Mexico to Reynosa to become sex workers and American missionaries who moved from the United States to forge a fellowship with those workers. Luna examines the entanglements, both intimate and financial, that define their lives. Using the concept of obligar, she delves into the connections that tie sex workers to their families, their clients, their pimps, the missionaries, and the drug dealers—and to the guilt, power, and comfort of faith. Love in the Drug War scrutinizes not only la zona and the people who work to survive there, but also Reynosa itself—including the influences of the United States—adding nuance and new understanding to the current US-Mexico border crisis.

La tercera edad de oro de la ficción televisiva ha favorecido la proliferación de series de gran despliegue técnico y a la vez de narrativas que describen la intimidad y la rutina cotidiana de los protagonistas. Son obras que nos presentan personajes alejados de la heroicidad, representados a menudo dentro del espacio doméstico, que ha pasado a ser un lugar clave para la descripción y evolución de los personajes. Partiendo de la premisa que la ficción televisiva desarrolla una clara función de referencia y legitimación social, creando estereotipos y modelos en los que los espectadores se identifican, este libro analiza veinte de las series contemporáneas más populares, reflexionando sobre el rol paternal y maternal de sus protagonistas. En algunas series se encuentran ejemplos que se alejan de la descripción de la familia patriarcal convencional. Destacamos así la pluralidad de discursos que se están ofreciendo, aunque también observamos que muchas de ellas, a pesar de un envoltorio transgresor, siguen reproduciendo roles que alimentan los valores familiares tradicionales.

In contemporary popular culture, armed women take center stage - but how can they be read from a feminist perspective? How do films, comics, and TV series depict the newly fashionable gunwomen between objectification and feminist empowerment? The contributions to this volume ask this question from different vantage points in cultural and literary studies, film and visual culture studies, history, and art history. They examine military and civic gun cultures, the rediscovery of historical armed women and revolutionaries, cultural phenomena such as gangsta rap, narcocultura and US politics, Bollywood and French cinema, and distinct genres such as the graphic novel, the romance novel, or the German police procedural Tatort.
