{"product_id":"resolana-miguel-montiel-9780816528349","title":"Resolana: Emerging Chicano Dialogues on Community and Globalization","description":"Villagers in northern New Mexico refer to the south-facing side of a wall as \u003ci\u003ela resolana\u003c\/i\u003e, meaning \"the place where the sun shines.\" Every culture has a resolana, a place where the resolaneros-the villagers-gather, dialogue, and reflect on society, culture, and politics. The buried knowledge that emerges from this process may be \"pure gold,\" or el oro del barrio, a metaphor for the culturally contextualized knowledge gathered at the resolana. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Coming from diverse backgrounds in social work, sociology, public administration, literature, history, and education, three modern resolaneros take the twin concepts of resolana and el oro del barrio on a breathtaking journey from their rural roots to their application in an urban setting and on to a holistic view of globalization. The authors offer a humane perspective on transborder cultures and all communities struggling to maintain their cultural and linguistic identities. They share an optimistic view of how ordinary people everywhere can take back control of their own destinies. This book is about uncovering subjugated knowledge-el oro del barrio-through resolana, a dynamic process of thought and action. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eResolana\u003c\/i\u003e will inspire dialogue and creativity from those interested in sociology, political science, social work, and Chicano studies, as well as public-policy makers and the general public.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Miguel Montiel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816528349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816528349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2009 pg. 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 54","brand":"Miguel Montiel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926480060671,"sku":"9780816528349","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_83ac2b74-762e-41d0-a763-61d28199232b.jpg?v=1681083303","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/resolana-miguel-montiel-9780816528349","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
