Notes:
"In this paper the author discusses the situation of children handed over to grandparents or to other relatives of the natural parents to be brought up. She notes that such children are faced with the riddle of their own filiation and postulates that this scenario often conceals an oedipal fantasy to the effect that the child concerned is the fruit of an incestuous relationship between a grandparent and the relevant parent. Following the example of Freud, the author adduces literary models for illustration. As with the Oedipus of Sophocles, the author shows how efforts to thwart the workings of fate actually bring about the consummation of the tragedy in the form of incest, which is favoured by the confused oedipal configuration in the families of handed-over children. The main argument is based on the characters and situations of two novels by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, written at different times in his life. With reference to the psychoanalytic literature on artistic creativity, the author shows the importance of the mid-life crisis in determining how Garcia Marquez came to terms with the fact of having himself been entrusted to grandparents as a child and how this situation is reflected in the works concerned." -- Scopus

Bertussi briefly analyzes the poetry and fiction of several well-known 19th and 20th century Latin American writers to explore the role of literary texts in the liberation process and social transformation. At issue are the definitive, inspirational, galvanizing, informative, cathartic, and transformational powers of Latin American literature and legacy of poetry and fiction in Latin America. All these are recorded through the works of Argentinean poet Jose Hernandez (1834-1886), Chilean poet/writer Pablo Neruda (1904-1973), and Brazilian novelist Jose Lins Do Rego (1901-1957), and the still active literary figures of Peruvian writer/politician Mario Vargas Llosa, Colombian novelist Gabriel García Márquez, and Chilean novelist Isabel Allende. All are examined as agents of social transformation who identify and disseminate the human rights movements at work in their respective nations.

As the USA was about to declare war on Spain in 1898, JAmaica was an important staging post for messages to the insurgents in Cuba both from the Cuban junta in New York and from the US goverment in Washington. This paper focuses on the repercussions of one particular message-the US "messege to Garcia"-which was delayed for fortnight in Kingston in late April 1898; It is a seminar Jamaica, Cuba, US
"The children were killed so that they wouldn't grow up and become criminals, that's the philosophy of the people in power here. Being Black is as negative as it gets - it's a lot different from living here in England. I was really surprised when I came to Britain, to see Black people on TV, driving nice cars and dressing in fine clothes - it was a real surprise. In Brazil that would not happen. The only people you would see doing well would be the people with blue eyes and blonde hair." Earlier this year the Brazilian Centre for Expression of Marginalised Populations (CEAPM) planned to sue Transport Minister Eliseu Padilha after ahe made a racist remark about one of Brazil's national heroes, footballer Pele. A Brazilian Embassy spokesman told The Voice that it's not racism but rather the distribution of wealth that puts Blacks on the bottom of the pile. The spokeswoman said: "I am not denying that racism exists in Brazil but racism is a universal thing. The UK is more racist than Brazil. The main problem with my country is an economic/class one - the Black people do not have the economic muscle to climb to the top. The roots of this are deep in our history.
