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.

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. From "borderlands" to
"migration," from "citizenship" to "mestizaje," this accessible
volume will be informative for those who are new to Latina/o
studies, providing them with a mapping of the current debates and a
trajectory of the development of the field, as well as being a
valuable resource for scholars to expand their knowledge and
critical engagement with the dynamic transformations in the field.
This handbook was prepared to support training on innovative
methods for the amelioration and use of salt-affected soils. Soil
salinisation is both the cause and the result of other agricultural
problems, and combating salinisation should, together with other
measures for achieving sustainable intensification of agriculture,
be considered as a basis for food security. This requires
coordination between countries that share common water and land
resources; international cooperation is also needed to attract and
manage investment in water and land resources. This publication was
produced within the framework of the Implementation Plan of the
Eurasian Soil Partnership, a sub-regional affiliation of the Global
Soil Partnership.
