Seinfeld: Season Nine


Seinfeld: Season Nine


$9.75


Seinfeld’s final season seems to take its cue from a little piece of “showmanship” advice that Jerry offers to the hapless George (Jason Alexander) in the episode “The Burning”: “When you hit that high note, say goodnight and walk off.” In television, as in comedy, timing is everything, and that’s what Seinfeld, No. 1 in the ratings, did. The show that TV Guide would later rank the greatest of all…

Intelligence reports that the multi-national hoodlums who have developed the bomb do not intend to stop with the States. Garrison and his associates realize that the only way to stop the annihilation of the world is to infiltrate the affluent society of Puerto Rico in order to gather information on the clandestine activities. He calls upon CIA operative, Zack Hamilton (Jeff Kaake) to form a team of expertly trained agents capable of a successful infiltration, in this case, to pose as models who are in Puerto Rico on a high fashion photo shoot.

 Music in the Hispanic Caribbean: Experiencing Music, Expressing Culture


Music in the Hispanic Caribbean: Experiencing Music, Expressing Culture


$29.95


** Music in the Hispanic Caribbean is one of several case-study volumes that can be used along with Thinking Musically, the core book in the Global Music Series. Thinking Musically incorporates music from many diverse cultures and establishes the framework for exploring the practice of music around the world. It sets the stage for an array of case-study volumes, each of which focuses on a single area of the world. Each case study uses the contemporary musical situation as a point of departure, covering historical information and traditions as they relate to the present. **The Spanish-speaking islands of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic make up a relatively small region, but their musical and cultural traditions have had a dramatic, sweeping impact on the world. The first brief, stand-alone volume to explore the music of these three islands, Music in the Hispanic Caribbean provides a vibrant introduction to diverse musical styles including salsa, merengue, reggaeton, plena, Latin jazz, and the bolero. Ethnomusicologist Robin Moore employs three themes in his survey of Hispanic Caribbean music: the cultural legacy of the slave trade, the creolization of Caribbean musical styles, and diaspora, migration, and movement. Each theme lends itself to a discussion of the region’s traditional musical genres as well as its more contemporary forms. The author draws on his extensive regional fieldwork, offering accounts of local performances, interviews with key performers, and vivid illustrations.A compelling, comprehensive review, Music in the Hispanic Caribbean is ideal for introductory undergraduate courses in world music or ethnomusicology and for upper-level courses on Caribbean and Latin

 Puerto Rican Voices in English: Interviews with Writers


Puerto Rican Voices in English: Interviews with Writers


$119.3


Puerto Rican writers living in the United States and writing in English find themselves astride two cultures, two languages, and two ways of looking at life. They also find two sets of prejudice: racial, cultural, and linguistic bias in the United States; and rejection from Puerto Rican society. In this vibrant collection of interviews, Hernandez presents portraits of 14 of the most prominent Puerto Rican writers living in the United States and offers the first chance for them to speak directly about their lives and their literary tradition. Taken as a whole, the diverse experiences of these writers provide an insight into the effects of early displacement from a national culture, and how perceived prejudice and hostility can breed, in turn, either violence and hate, or a wish to excel and to communicate.

 The Bonjour Gene


The Bonjour Gene


$1.76


Edgar Bonjour, at middle age and after rising to a suburban family life, starts drug-trafficking with a motorcycle gang from his old South Bronx neighborhood and ends up dead. The published news of his murder sets the stage for introspection among other Bonjours, even those who did not know him, who interpret his returning to the past by way of a young woman gang member as the work of their family curse. Descended from three French brothers who settled in Puerto Rico, Bonjours now belong to extended branches, some settled in New York City. Removed in varying degrees, all remain connected by the lore that only one island family possesses their surname, and that starting with the three brothers–sowers of a legacy of adultery and abandonment–every Bonjour male carries a reckless, womanizing gene. Lineage and legend of lineage haunt but do not make these lives predictable. So Daisy, who hardly knew her father and has passed her prime without much interest in marriage, secretly falls in love with the man who paid her to marry him so he could get a green card. Ten-year-old Marco does not know what the reader does: that his visiting, divorced Bonjour father is gay. Recently married Gabriel, having flown to Puerto Rico to bury a father who intermittently entered his life, meets an African American down from Georgia, whom he learns is his embittered brother, and his beautiful stepsister, with whom he faces the same temptation that sidetracked his father. Interconnected like his Bonjour families, these stories of unpredictable and unforgettable characters will transport the reader to a plane where ethnicity becomes universality.
