El gran llibre del planeta

A través de esta biografía ficcionalizada nos acercamos a la pintora Cecilia Orta Allende con un gran respeto y con el deseo de visibilizar su aportación a la cultura puertorriqueña. Cecilia, la pintora del pueblo, forma parte de la historiografía puertorriqueña, sin embargo como otras muchas mujeres afrodescendientes han permanecido oculta en los pliegues de la historia oficial. Con nuestro texto queremos contribuir a rescatar su protagonismo en el quehacer cultural puertorriqueño y que sea reconocido su lugar en las Artes Plásticas del siglo XX.Raquel Brailowsky CabreraRosario...

California became a territory in the United States when the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed in 1848. That treaty ended the Mexican War. Several days before its signing, gold was discovered at Sutter’s Mill in what is now Sacramento. The non-Native population of the territory was less than one thousand in 1848, but the gold rush increased that number to one hundred thousand by the end of 1849. The gold rush not only made many people wealthy, it brought ecologic devastation while speeding up California’s statehood. This book richly explores this interesting history.
