Key West (Images of Modern America)
by Frances Watson Clark Mandy MilesKey West has a colorful history. It was the beachhead that protected the United States from the Soviet Union and Cuba in the 1960s, its literary and music scenes attracted and developed writers, artists, and musicians in the 1970s, and it seceded from the Union and created a new nation, the Conch Republic, in the 1980s. Through the rest of the decades to the present, festivals, celebrations, and revelries have drawn tourists here year-round and supported the Conchs, the key's residents. The vibrant community, people and places, military presence, and significant historic sites make Key West one of the most interesting places in the United States.

Key to the City: How Zoning Shapes Our World
by Sara C. BroninAn eye-opening exploration of one of the little-known levers that controls our world—zoning codes—and a call-to-arms for using them to improve American society at every level. Zoning codes dictate how and where we can build housing, factories, restaurants, and parks. They limit how tall buildings can be and where trees can be planted. They have become the most significant regulatory power of local government, ultimately determining how we experience our cities. Yet zoning remains invisible. In Key to the City, legal scholar and architect Sara C. Bronin examines how zoning became such a prevailing force and reveals its impact—and its potential for good. Outdated zoning codes have maintained racial segregation, prioritized cars over people, and enabled great ecological harm. But, as Bronin argues, once we recognize the power of zoning, we can harness it to create the communities we desire, and deserve. Drawing on her own experience leading the overhaul of Hartford’s zoning code and exploring the efforts of activists and city planners across the country, Bronin shows how new codes are reshaping our cities—from Baltimore to Chicago, Las Vegas to Minneapolis, and beyond. In Boston, a law fought for by a passionate group of organizers, farmers, and beekeepers is transforming the city into a haven for urban farming. In Tucson, zoning codes are mitigating the impacts of climate change and drought-proofing neighborhoods in peril. In Delray Beach, Florida, a new code aims to capture and maintain the town’s colorful spirit through its architecture. With clarity and insight, Bronin demystifies the power of an inscrutable organizing force in our lives and invites us to see zoning as a revolutionary vehicle for change. In Key to the City, she puts forward a practical and energizing vision for how we can reimagine our communities.

by Kathy SloaneThe award-winning photographer&’s pictorial history of the famous San Francisco Jazz club featuring oral histories and more than 100 images—&“A treasure&” (SF Weekly). In the words of Wynton Marsalis, &“Keystone Korner was the quintessential jazz club . . . a happy home to people of all persuasions.&” During the 1970s, when jazz clubs across America were folding under the onslaught of rock and roll and disco, San Francisco&’s Keystone Korner was an oasis for jazz listeners and musicians. Tucked away in the city&’s North Beach area, the Keystone became one of the most important jazz spots in the United States.

In this book, award-winning photographer Kathy Sloane shares more than 100 black and white photographs documenting the musicians and regulars, the spontaneous moments and ephemeral scene of this legendary club. Together with these images, she has compiled a fascinating collage of first-hand oral histories that chronicle the Keystone experience. &“From the antics of the photo-laden backroom to the underground hype of Ora Harris&’ Keystone Kitchen, Sloane and fellow editor Sascha Feinstein leave no stone unturned.

Kid Quixotes \ Los Kid Quixotes de Brooklyn (Spanish edition): La historia de un grupo de estudiantes, su maestro y la escuela en la que todo es posible
by Stephen Haff«Cervantes estaría orgulloso de que su novela de hace 400 años esté ayudando a estos extraordinarios chicos y su maestro a comprender sus vidas». —SALMAN RUSHDIE«En todos mis años de escritora y profesora universitaria no he visto nunca nada igual». —VALERIA LUISELLI «Haff retrata lo que la educación en Estados Unidos podría, y quizá debería, ser». —ANDREW SOLOMON«Todo el mundo debería leer este libro». —CRISTINA HENRÍQUEZ Los Kid Quixotes de Brooklyn cuenta la historia de un pequeño local de Nueva York donde, todas las tardes, un maestro se reune con un grupo de chicos de entre cinco y quince años para leer y escribir en inglés y español, a salvo de las preocupaciones de las familias inmigrantes en una época de declarada hostilidad. Tras superar una crisis personal, Stephen Haff, creó este espacio dedicado a la empatía y la colaboración en el que todos, adultos y niños, cumplen con reverencia una única regla: escucharse los unos a los otros. Este sencillo acto de generosidad produce efectos asombrosos. En estas páginas descubrimos cómo Stephen y sus estudiantes trabajan en grupo para traducir Don Quijote del inglés y convertirlo en una obra musical que acabarán representando en ayuntamientos, embajadas y universidades. La atención reverencial que han aprendido a prestarse unos a otros los ha impulsado a superar todo tipo de dificultades y transmitir un mensaje de solidaridad y resistencia lleno de esperanza y optimismo. Stephen Haff es el fundador de Still Waters in a Storm. Fue maestro de Lengua y Literatura en Bushwick High durante más de diez años. Obtuvo una maestría en teatro en la Universidad de Yale y ha dirigido obras e impartido clases en Nueva York, Vermont y Canadá. Asimismo, ha escrito para The Village Voice, American Theater y otras publicaciones.
Kid Quixotes: A Group of Students, Their Teacher, and the One-Room School Where Everything Is Possible
by Stephen HaffLa inesperada e inspiradora historia real de un salón de clases donde los hijos de inmigrantes indocumentados y sus maestros encuentran su voz y enfrentan el clima político actual con su herramienta más poderosa: su verdad. Still Waters in a Storm («Agua calmada en medio de la tormenta») es un programa extracurricular fundado por Stephen Haff en el 2010 en Bushwick, Brooklyn. Haff, un antiguo maestro de escuela pública, se reúne con veinte estudiantes entre las edades de 5-17 seis veces a la semana para analizar los clásicos, como El paraíso perdido de John Milton, tocar el violín, escribir música y estudiar el latín. Para ellos es un refugio en medio de sus tormentosas vidas. Para los estudiantes, que viven con el miedo constante de ser deportados, Still Waters es una comunidad segura que estimula sus voces. Para Haff representa el santuario por el cual luchó para crear después de haber regresado a Brooklyn a enseñar tras una crisis causada por una depresión bipolar. Haff, quien se inspiró en sus propias experiencias teatrales y pedagógicas con la esperanza de proveerle a los niños una válvula de escape que no existía en el mundo de escuelas públicas que abandonó, desarrolló su nuevo método pedagógico basándose en las terapias de Alcohólicos Anónimos, los rezos de los cuáqueros, la sicoterapia, y hasta en las enseñanzas budistas para así crear un ambiente empático y colaborativo. En este liviano y acogedor espacio, Stephen y sus estudiantes encuentran consuelo y algo más: sus voces. Todos se pusieron de acuerdo: en Still Waters habría solo una regla, todos se escuchan los unos a los otros. Y esta regla ha desatado su increíble potencial. En el 2016, un estudiate de Still Waters aceptó un nuevo desafío: con la ayuda de varios diccionarios, y el visto bueno de la aclamada traductora cervantina, Edith Grossman, traducirían capítulos del clásico Don Quijote de la Mancha del inglés al español. Han tomado la esencia de la historia, aquella de un soñador que no se rinde, y lo transforman para poder contar la historia de sus padres inmigrantes. Para hablar sobre su comunidad, los niños han ido un paso más allá y han adaptado sus traducciones a un errante musical moderno, Las aventuras errantes del niño Quijote, la cual han presentado a lo largo del este de los Estados Unidos. La estrella de Los pequeños quijotes de Brooklyn es Sarah Sierra, de seis años. Antes de Still Waters, Sarah era callada, pero ahora que tiene tantas historias que contar, como la travesía de su madre a través del desierto hacia América en un tigre, o la historia de una niña-caballero que derrota a los gigantes de hielo que encierran a los niños. Sarah no es la única con una historia singular: Talia antes lloraba en la escuela porque no sabía leer, pero ahora sueña con ser una escritora y una adolescente llamada Alex conquista su miedo al público al cantar una canción sobre la aceptación de su sexualidad que recibió una gran ovación. Estos estudiantes han encontrado su voz en Still Waters, y la están utilizando para compartir un mensaje sobre la diversidad, la tolerancia, el amor, el optimismo, y la resiliencia que nos es indispensable a todos. Stephen Haff es el fundador de Still Waters in a Storm, un programa extracurricular dirigido hacia la comunidad h Con su contribuidora, Sarah Sierra: Sarah Sierra se unió a Still Waters in a Storm en 2015 a los seis años. Fue uno de los miembros fundadores del grupo musical Los pequeños quijotes de Brooklyn y obtuvo el papel principal en Las aventuras errantes del niño Quijote. Le encanta contar imaginativas historias que convencen al público de que todo es posible si lo intentas.
