About this listen
¿Qué implicaciones tiene ser madre, parir y dar de mamar?
Las mujeres nos enfrentamos a una doble presión, ser mamás, como dicta el mantra patriarcal, y triunfar o sobrevivir como podamos en el mercado de trabajo: un ejercicio casi imposible de malabarismos cotidianos.
A lo largo de la historia, la maternidad ha sido utilizada como instrumento de control y supeditación de las mujeres.
Pero, una vez conquistado el derecho a no ser madres, tenemos pendiente reapropiarnos de la experiencia materna.
Ya va siendo hora de que reivindiquemos la maternidad como una tarea imprescindible y común, y rompamos el silencio acerca del embarazo, el parto, la pérdida gestacional, la lactancia y el cuidado.
Al nuevo feminismo emergente le corresponde pensar otra maternidad.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Story5 out of 5 stars 68
Cuando nace un hijo también nace una madre. Este renacer implicó para mí desaprender muchas cosas «de manual» para darle espacio a nuevos saberes más instintivos guiados por la intuición. Implicó una deconstrucción personal muy profunda, el encuentro con mis limitaciones, mis lugares oscuros, mis asuntos pendientes y mis disparadores emocionales. Cuando me transformé en madre comencé a visibilizar y vivir en carne propia todos los mitos y la injusta e irreal construcción social del rol materno.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities. Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families.

Story5 out of 5 stars 125
In 1992, the deadliest year in Chicago’s history, seven-year-old Dantrell Davis was shot and killed in front of his elementary school inside the public housing complex Cabrini-Green. What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities. Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

I have discovered a group of women who refuse to be exploited, are immune to manipulation, and who never settle in the name of love.

Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….
