Madre: Perilous Journeys with a Spanish Noun by Liza Bakewell
Requirements: ePUB or MOBI Reader, 1.6MB
Overview: Leaping off the page with energy, insight, and attitude, Liza Bakewell’s exploration of language is anything but “just semantics.” Why does me vale madre mean worthless, while !quĂ© padre! means fabulous, she asks? And why do one hundred madres disappear when one padre enters the room, converting the group from madres to padres? Thus begins a journey through Mexican culture in all its color: weddings, dinner parties, an artist’s studio, heart stopping taxi rides, angry journalists, corrupt politicians, Blessed Virgins, and mothers both sacred and profane.
Genre: Non-Fiction, Anthropology
