Bøger af Jorge Ramos

On May 14, 2003, a familiar risk-filled journey, taken by hopeful Mexican immigrants attempting to illegally cross into the United States, took a tragic turn. Inside a sweltering truck abandoned in Texas, authorities found at least 74 people packed into a "human heap of desperation." After months of investigation, a 25-year-old Honduran-born woman named Karla Chavez was found responsible for leading the human trafficking cell that led to this grisly tragedy in which 19 people died.Through interviews with survivors who had the courage to share their stories and conversations with the victims' families, and in examining the political implications of the incident for both U.S. and Mexican immigration policies, Jorge Ramos tells the story of one of the most heartbreaking episodes of our nation's turbulent history of immigration.

El libro más personal, íntimo y revelador de Jorge Ramos en casi cien columnas y tres puentes. "Jorge Ramos [...] es una persona íntegra y de esas hay muy pocas en este mundo. A leer estas páginas de su memoria me entero de algunos secretos, me entretengo, me conmuevo y me reencuentro con el amigo de siempre, con el periodista que me pone al día sobre el acontecer y me recuerda los valores morales que suelen perderse en el ruido de la existencia cotidiana." Isabel Allende ¿Sabías que Jorge Ramos estuvo a punto de ser atleta olímpico, o concertista de guitarra clásica? ¿O que su primer trabajo en Estados Unidos fue de mesero, ganando 15 dólares al día? Así veo las cosas reúne los textos más personales y literarios escritos por Jorge Ramos a lo largo de cuatro décadas: desde sus primeros artículos en México sobre desastres naturales o sobre la guerra en Centroamérica, hasta sus reflexiones semanales sobre cuestiones como la familia, la tecnología, el oficio de periodista, el lado humano de sus viajes como reportero, sus queridas mascotas, o incluso temas tan personales como su nariz... Esta íntima selección de columnas está ligada en el tiempo por tres "puentes" inéditos, que ofrecen al lector una visión sin tapujos de la historia personal de Jorge Ramos, en donde se presenta como nunca antes lo hemos visto, mostrando su lado más vulnerable: como papá, hijo, migrante, y hasta como el guardián de su adorada gatita, Lola. "A mis 66 años, este libro es una especie de legado. Cuento mi historia a través de las columnas más simbólicas y representativas que he escrito. Aquí te cuento de mi familia: de mis hijos, de mis mejores amigos y de la Jechu (así le decimos a mi mamá); de lo que he aprendido como periodista: las coberturas noticiosas que me han dejado cicatrices, del resentimiento ante los que abusan de su poder; del trauma y las oportunidades de ser inmigrante; de mis guerras (internas y externas), del miedo a morir; de mis grandes pérdidas y hasta mis mayores alegrías. Aquí hay muchas cosas que nunca te conté." ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONFrom the most renowned Spanish-speaking news anchor comes his most personal and intimate book yet.

"El relato de câomo Jorge Ramos confrontâo y desenmascarâo a Nicolâas Maduro ante las câamaras, y todo lo que ocurriâo antes y despuâes de la entrevista. El 25 de febrero de 2019, apoyado por su equipo de Univision, Jorge Ramos realizâo una entrevista --preparada minuciosamente-- a Nicolâas Maduro. Despuâes de un cuarto de hora, y luego de evidenciar su disgusto por el severo cuestionamiento de quien se ha caracterizado por confrontar a los poderosos, el entrevistado terminâo el encuentro abruptamente. Esto darâia pie a un tremendo acto de censura que implicâo la confiscaciâon del equipo de grabaciâon, la detenciâon del periodista y sus colegas, y finalmente su deportaciâon." --

Immigrants in America are at the heart of what makes this country the most prosperous and visionary in the world. Writing from his own heartfelt perspective as an immigrant, Jorge Ramos, one of the world's most popular and well-respected Spanish-language television news broadcasters, listens to and explores stories of dozens of immigrants who decided to change their lives and risk everything -- families, jobs, history, and their own culture -- in order to pursue a better, freer, and opportunity-filled future in the United States.In his famously clear voice, Jorge Ramos brings to life the tales of individuals from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic, among other countries, and explains why they first immigrated, what their dreams are, how they deal with American racism, and what they believe their future in America will hold for them and their children.From the Vieques controversy to the "Spanglish" phenomenon to the explosion of Latino creativity in the arts, Ramos shows that there is a new face in America -- one whose colors and countries of origin are as diverse as the country it has adopted as home.

“There are times when I feel like a stranger in this country. I am not complaining and it’s not for lack of opportunity. But it is something of a disappointment. I never would have imagined that after having spent thirty five years in the United States I would still be a stranger to so many. But that’s how it is”. Jorge Ramos, an Emmy award-winning journalist, Univision’s longtime anchorman and widely considered the “voice of the voiceless” within the Latino community, was forcefully removed from an Iowa press conference in 2015 by then-candidate Donald Trump after trying to ask about his plans on immigration. In this personal manifesto, Ramos sets out to examine what it means to be a Latino immigrant, or just an immigrant, in present-day America. Using current research and statistics, with a journalist’s nose for a story, and interweaving his own personal experience, Ramos shows us the changing face of America while also trying to find an explanation for why he, and millions of others, still feel like strangers in this country. “It is precisely this pattern of confrontation… that has won Ramos the trust of so many Hispanics. They know that in many countries south of the United States, direct questions can provoke not simply a loss of access but also a loss of life.” --Marcela Valdes, The New York Times
