The absence of Grijalva for a longer period than had been anticipated, combined with the recollection of the ill-success which had attended the expedition of Cordova, began to cause considerable anxiety to Diego Velasquez after the lapse of a few months from the departure of the former, and he determined upon sending a vessel in search of him. He therefore fitted out a caravel, under Cristoval de Olid, with instructions to obtain intelligence of Grijalva, and afford him assistance if necessary1.

Download or read book Foodscapes Foodfields and Identities in Yucat n written by Steffan Igor Ayora Díaz and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The state of Yucatán has its own distinct culinary tradition, and local people are constantly thinking and talking about food. They use it as a vehicle for social relations but also to distinguish themselves from "Mexicans." This book examines the politics surrounding regional cuisine, as the author argues that Yucatecan gastronomy has been created and promoted in an effort to affirm the identity of a regional people and to oppose the hegemonic force of central Mexican cultural icons and forms. In particular, Yucatecan gastronomy counters the homogenizing drive of a national cuisine based on dominant central Mexican appetencies and defies the image of Mexican national cuisine as rooted in indigenous traditions. Drawing on post-structural and postcolonial theory, the author proposes that Yucatecan gastronomy - having successfully gained a reputation as distinct and distant from 'Mexican' cuisine - is a bifurcation from regional culinary practices. However, the author warns, this leads to a double, paradoxical situation that divides the nation: while a national cuisine attempts to silence regional cultural diversity, the fissures in the project of a homogeneous regional identity are revealed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Yucatan: From Its Discovery to the Close of the Seventeenth Century For some time previous to his departure from that tract of the American Continent, the government of which he had administered during a period of eight years, the Author of the following historical sketch had determined on writing, principally for the satisfaction of the Settlers, an account of the origin, the rise, and the development of one of the most remarkable possessions of the British Crown. It did not however occur to him then, that it would be necessary for the completion of his design to trace the connection of European enterprise with Central America to an earlier period than 1662, when the British logwood-cutters first commenced their operations on the coast of Yucatan.
