Please find a non-exhaustive list of ways to support at blacklivesmatters.carrd.co and joincampaignzero.org. ​ ​ ​ ​ We can also all take steps to continue learning more about the Black Lives Matter movement and how to demand change in our own communities. Our Secretariat has compiled a list of books, films, TV shows, articles, and podcasts that we hope can be a starting point for further exploring themes of racism, prejudice, discrimination, and inequity.

  • Eduardo Galeano – ¡Presente!
    Eduardo Galeano – ¡Presente! Eduardo Galeano, the world-renowned leftist Uruguayan journalist and writer made famous with the publication in 1971 of his book The Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent, died today at the age of 74 in Montevideo, Uruguay, where he lived. Long admired as a journalist, with his three-volume Memory of Fire in 1982, Galeano also became known as a writer of non-fiction prose who might be compared to writers of fiction such as Gabriel García Márquez, author of the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude or Isabel Allende who wrote House of the Spirits. Like their novels, his trilogy captures the real spirit of Latin America’s magical history. Born Eduardo Germán María Hughes Galeano in Montevideo on September 3, 1940, Galeano began his career as a journalist in the early 1960s working as a correspondent for Sol and then as an editor for Marcha, which published such writers as Mario Vargas Llosa and Mario Benedetti. When a rightwing military coup took power in Uruguay in 1973, Galeano was jailed and subsequently went into exile, first in Argentina, where he edited Crisis, and then in Spain where he wrote his trilogy Memory of Fire (Genesis, Faces and Masks, and Century of the Wind). Memory of Fire mixed history and journalism in vignettes and biographical sketches written in a creative prose style that reminded American readers of John Dos Passos’ 1930s classic U.SA. triology (The 42nd Parallel, 1919, and The Big Money). Open Veins of Latin America was a detailed, systematic, and sustained attack on European and U.S.

  • Crossing Borders: Introducing Eduardo Galeano by Erika Zarco
    www.dulwichcentre.com.au/narrative-therapy-ezine Crossing borders: Introducing Eduardo Galeano By Erika Zarco Does history repeat itself? Or are the repetitions only penance for those who are incapable of listening to it? No history is mute. No matter how much they burn it, break it, and lie about it, human history refuses to shut its mouth. Despite deafness and ignorance, the time that was continues to tick inside the time that is. The right to remember does not figure among the human rights consecrated by the United Nations, but now more than ever we must insist on it and act on it. Not to repeat the past but to keep it from being repeated. Not to make us ventriloquists for the dead but to allow us to speak with voices that are not condemned to echo perpetually with stupidity and misfortune. When it is truly alive, memory doesn’t contemplate history, it invites us to make it. More than in museums, where its poor old soul gets bored, memory is in the air we breathe, and from the air it breathes us. (Galeano, 1998, p. 210) Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano first influenced my life when I was just turning fifteen years old. Las Venas Abiertas de America Latina (Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centures of the Pillage of a Continent, Galeano, 1971) was mandatory reading for my high school Spanish language class. I consider myself very fortunate to have been exposed to this caliber of a person, writer, political economist, activist, poet, humanitarian, philosopher, and archivist at such a young age.

  • Teaching Guide Angels of the Americlypse, Edited by Carmen
    Teaching Guide Angels of the Americlypse, edited by Carmen Giménez-Smith and John Chávez Angels of the Americplypse is a collection of contemporary Latin@ writing. While much of the writing in the anthology is politically and formally progressive, there is no dominant mode that unifies these poets and writers. On the contrary, this anthology aims to demonstrate that Latin@ writing is a varied and constantly re-emerging force that operates beyond (but also sometimes aggressively within) the parameters of genre and voice. This guide is composed of six sections, organized by theme: Context, Form, Latin@ Writing, Aesthetics, Some Quotes, and Assignments. Every section offers a number of perspectives on Americlypse related to its theme (except for Context, which serves as a supplement to the editors’ introduction at the beginning of the anthology). Each perspective has a title (such as “Personhood and Postmodernism), some context, and a question. Please consider these talking points and tools to help students understand the anthology. Enjoy! Context Why this anthology with these writers? The editors Carmen Giménez-Smith and John Chávez describe the project of Angels of the Americlypse in their introduction. The anthology is an attempt to share – or at least illuminate – the contemporary condition of Latin@ writing. However, this project is not simply a collection of strong writing, but a means of exposing the stereotypes distorting Latin American literature. To point, the editors explain that despite its innovative past and present, some readers still expect Latin@ writing to refer to outdated cultural narratives and campy sentimentality. The editors write, “Rather than sit at our drafting table as aesthetic innovators, we Latin@ poets are expected to normalize our histories and tell the ancestral tales of our colorful otherness” (XII).

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

  • A Decolonial Approach to Amerindian and African American Literature of the Americas
    Identity, Displacement and Memory: A Decolonial Approach to Amerindian and African American Literature of the Americas Roland Walter Universidade Federal de Pernambuco / CNPq The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone in the world, regardless of age, sex, gender, location, nation, origin, language, religion, class, ethnicity, or any other status shares the same basic rights based on universal values, such as justice, freedom, independence, fairness, dignity, equality, liberty, security, respect, and peace, among others, so as to guarantee physical, social and material well being on earth. With regard to this general outline, I am inter- ested in discussing here the representation of human rights (violations) in select works by Amerindian and African American writers of the Americas. But let me first introduce four additional sources to broaden the background information for my specific literary analysis. According to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, a resolution adopted by the General Assembly in 2007, indigenous peoples “have the right to self-determination” enabling them to “freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development” (Article 3), and “autonomy or self-government in matters relating to their internal or local affairs” (Article 4). Furthermore, Article 5 emphasizes the right of indigenous peoples “to maintain and strengthen their distinct political, legal, economic, social and cultural institutions” while fully participating in the affairs of the nation state “if they so choose.” The FAO Voluntary Guidelines on the Governance of Tenure stress the fact that only a just distribution of land facilitates a life in dignity, peace, and harmony and thus contributes to a containment of worldwide migration.
