A Translation Manual for the Caribbean (English-Spanish)
This manual is a comprehensive collection of resources for tertiary teachers and students of English-Spanish translation in the Caribbean region. It consists principally of Caribbean source texts in a variety of discourses, each accompanied by a translation and a commentary. It fills a gap in the market for a resource text specifically designed for tertiary Caribbean students, teachers and practitioners interested in English-Spanish translation. The text contains practical translation exercises in tourism, commerce, law, culture and journalism. All source material originates within the Caribbean or deals with Caribbean subject matter. It also includes intra-lingual translation between vernacular and standard English to illustrate concepts of register and stylistics. Solutions to the exercises and other relevant material are on the accompanying website at http: //www.caribbeantranslationmanual.com. The manual also features an introductory essay on translation in the Caribbean and an appendix with resources such as training centres, Web sites and agencies. To date there has been no descriptive account of translation activity in the Caribbean, despite the region's multilingual character and the relatively large existing corpus on Creole linguistics and related topics. It analyses the part played by translation in the region's functioning and in the construction of its identity. The appendix provides a practical aid to teachers, students and professionals in the translation field with a specific interest in the Caribbean region.

Ana En El Tropico
Ganadora del Premio Pulitzer 2003 de Obras Dramáticas
Extraordinaria y evocativa. La estelar Ana en el trópico es una obra de arte.” Christine Dolen, Miami Herald
Ana en el trópico es una obra hermosa y conmovedora, reforzada por el humor y la congja. Cruz es un seductor narrador de cuentos, y un dúctil tejedor de sueños.” Robert L. Daniels, Variety
El lenguaje de Cruz posee una brilliante belleza lírica, y una simple precision que encanta con su elegancia natural.” Desmond Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer
Ana en el trópico es una nueva obra conmovedora y poética, ambientada en la Florida del año 1929, en una fábrica de tabacos cubanoamericana en la que los puros aún se hacian a mano, y donde se contrataba a lectores para instruir y entretener a los empleados. El arribo de un Nuevo lector es causa de celebración, pero cuando éste comienza a leer en voz alta de Ana Karénina, sin proponérselo, se vuelve el catalizador de las vidas de los ávidos oyentes, para los que Tolstói, el trópico, y el sueño americano resultan ser una combinación volátil.
Nilo Cruz, cuyas obras incluyen Two Sisters and a Piano, Lorca in a Green Dress, Night Train to Bolina, A Bicycle Country y Dancing on Her Knees, es uno de los más prolificos de los dramaturges cubanoamericanos. Cruz ha sido profesor de dramaturgia en las universidades Brown y Yale, y también ha recibido numerosos galardones, incluyendo el premio Pulitzer de 2003 de obras dramáticas, el galardón Steinberg, y el premio Kesselring.

Begin or refine your journey to master Spanish-language literature with this revised and expanded edition of Guía básica de la critica literaria y el trabajo de investigación. This focused and comprehensible guide empowers students to become better readers and, thus, better writers by focusing on the practice of literary theory, the application of literary criticism, and the structuring of literary essays.

They then address the literary essay, beginning with how to choose a topic and start the research process and advancing to how to structure a literary essay and what to include in each section. The book also discusses best practices for primary and secondary sources, proper citations, paragraphing, and capitalization. With a variety of excerpts from both Spanish and Latin American literature, examples of actual student essays, and a glossary of literary terms in Spanish with their English equivalents, Guía básica provides students with the tools needed to succeed, whether they are beginning their literary studies or progressing to more advanced literature classes.
