The Bride Aspect has been written with men in mind. The objective of this book is to help men go deeper in their relationship with Jesus. The Bride Aspect is the aspect of that relationship which deals with the church being the bride of Christ. This book teaches men how to see themselves as the bride of Christ without undermining their position as men of God. Within these pages lies truth that will take men to a deeper level of intimacy with Jesus which will bring them to a higher level of faith and power due to their understanding of and moving in The Bride Aspect. Jos R. Vargas has a burning desire to see people obtain all God has promised to them; spiritually, emotionally and physically/materially. Jos lives with his wife and family in Jacksonville, FL and attends Iglesia Roca de Salvacin (Rock of Salvation Church), pastored by Jos & Lucy Bonfante. The Bride Aspect is Jos's first book.
Musical sound has been central to heteromasculinist productions of nation and homeland, whether Chicano, Tejano, Texan, Mexican, or American. If this assertion holds true, as Deborah R. Vargas suggests, then what are we to make of those singers and musicians whose representations of gender and sexuality are irreconcilable with canonical Chicano/Tejano music or what Vargas refers to as "la onda"? These are the "dissonant divas" Vargas discusses, performers who stimulate our listening for alternative borderlands imaginaries that are inaudible within the limits of "la onda." Dissonant Divas in Chicana Music focuses on the Texan monument of the Alamo and its association with Rosita Fernandez; Tejano corrido folklore and its musical antithesis in Chelo Silva; the female accordion-playing bodies of Ventura Alonza and Eva Ybarra as incompatible with the instrumental labor of conjunto music; geography as national border, explored through the multiple national music scales negotiated by Eva Garza; and racialized gender, viewed through Selena's integration of black diasporic musical sound. Vargas offers a feminist analysis of these figures' contributions by advancing a notion of musical dissonance-a dissonance that recognizes the complexity of gender, sexuality, and power within Chicana/o culture. Incorporating ethnographic fieldwork, oral history, and archival research, Vargas's study demonstrates how these singers work together to explode the limits of Texan, Chicano, Tejano, Mexican, and American identities.
2018 Outstanding Academic Title, given by CHOICE Magazine Introduces key terms, concepts, debates, and histories for Latinx Studies Keywords for Latina/o Studies is a generative text that enhances the ongoing dialogue within a rapidly growing and changing field. The keywords included in this collection represent established and emergent terms, categories, and concepts that undergird Latina/o studies; they delineate the shifting contours of a field best thought of as an intellectual imaginary and experiential project of social and cultural identities within the US academy. Bringing together 63 essays, from humanists, historians, anthropologists, sociologists, among others, each focused on a single term, the volume reveals the broad range of the field while also illuminating the tensions and contestations surrounding issues of language, politics, and histories of colonization, specific to this area of study.
