Download or read book Catholicism in the American West written by Roberto R. Treviño and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the rosary itself, the influence of Catholicism on the social and historical development of the American West has been both visible and hidden: visible in the effects of personal conviction on lives and communities; hidden in that the fuller context of this important American religious group has been largely marginalized or undervalued in traditional historiographic treatments of the region. This volume, an outgrowth of the 2004 Walter Prescott Webb Memorial Lectures, seeks to redress this imbalance. Editors Roberto R. Treviño and Richard Francaviglia have assembled here a variety of scholarly voices to present, according to the preface, "little-known stories about a religion whose traditions and adherents had until recently remained largely at the periphery of U.S. history narratives." The result is a work that offers at once a fuller portrait of the Catholic experience in and impact on the American West, and also tantalizing glimpses that are highly suggestive of fruitful areas for further study. The contributors to Catholicism in the American West bring to light the variety, the hardships, and, ultimately, some of the triumphs of Catholicism in the American West. These studies are fine examples of the scholarship currently "reshaping how historians understand the role of Catholicism both in the development of the West and in the broader history of the nation."

Download or read book La Ruta del Hechizo written by Ernesto Villavicencio and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014-07-09 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portada trasera Nacemos genéticamente predispuestos a buscar la felicidad por todas partes y al final solo la obtenemos por cortos períodos de tiempo. ¿Cuál es la razón? Se debe a que desconocemos tres aspectos fundamentales que se esconden en los siguientes tres grandes interrogantes: ¿Es posible alcanzar la felicidad permanente? ¿Cuál es el camino para llegar a la felicidad permanente? ¿Para qué nos sirve ser feliz y cuáles son sus frutos? Luego de dedicarle tiempo a la reflexión sobre estos grandes interrogantes, nace el libro: "La Ruta del Hechizo" en el cual se plantea la Felicidad Filosófica, para que hagas de ella, una filosofía de vida y así disfrutes la felicidad permanente. Además, es la primera vez en la historia, que podemos medir la felicidad área por área, al igual que el sistema de emociones que le da vida y energía al alma. Este aporte es muy importante, porque nos permite enfocarnos en las áreas críticas de la Felicidad Filosófica y del conjunto de emociones, de tal manera que se nos haga más fácil rectificar en aquellos aspectos donde estamos fallando. Por la importancia de los planteamientos que aquí se hacen, este libro es como el teléfono celular, antes de que existiera, no era necesario, y hoy, quien no tenga uno, anda desconectado. Si eres mayor de 18 años, no dejes de leer este libro.
Download or read book The Practical Poet written by TS Bola and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-12-18 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My first book, "One Bad Night in Mexico," was written about five years ago, not because I actually aspired to do so, but mainly because of my younger brother's insistence to do so. I think my resistance to write the book was because of the painful memories that were involved in that near-death experience. However, later on, I even published a second edition of it, with a postscript explaining what had been happening since that horrible incident. As such, since then, I have been completing my present project of finishing the writing of 150 poems to be published in the next two or three months. I am writing this in November of 2015, so maybe by January or February of 2016, this book, "The Practical Poet," will be published. It will consist of 150 poems that I have written over a period of time from 1967 until 2015. The poems reveal a variety of themes and emphases, but many have moral/ethical threads embedded in them, regardless of their type. Some of the poems are written with the obvious intent of humor, others for clarification of a subject, and others for spiritual emphasis. As such, I simply wish for you to read and enjoy my labor of love, as well as occasional stress, which you will likely note in some of the poems. These poems likely reveal much about my ideas, preferences, convictions, beliefs, views of worldly situations, and my personality. However, in reading these poems, I believe that you will not only have an occasional laugh but you might even learn something new in these writings. Anyway, I hope you read and enjoy!

Download or read book Race Place and Reform in Mexican Los Angeles written by Stephanie Lewthwaite and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning near the end of the nineteenth century, a generation of reformers set their sights on the growing Mexican community in Los Angeles. Experimenting with a variety of policies on health, housing, education, and labor, these reformers—settlement workers, educationalists, Americanizers, government officials, and employers—attempted to transform the Mexican community with a variety of distinct and often competing agendas. In Race, Place, and Reform in Mexican Los Angeles, Stephanie Lewthwaite presents evidence from a myriad of sources that these varied agendas of reform consistently supported the creation of racial, ethnic, and cultural differences across Los Angeles. Reformers simultaneously promoted acculturation and racialization, creating a “landscape of difference” that significantly shaped the place and status of Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans from the Progressive era through the New Deal. The book journeys across the urban, suburban, and rural spaces of Greater Los Angeles as it moves through time and examines the rural–urban migration of Mexicans on both a local and a transnational scale. Part 1 traverses the world of Progressive reform in urban Los Angeles, exploring the link between the region’s territorial and industrial expansion, early campaigns for social and housing reform, and the emergence of a first-generation Mexican immigrant population. Part 2 documents the shift from official Americanization and assimilation toward nativism and exclusion. Here Lewthwaite examines competing cultures of reform and the challenges to assimilation from Mexican nationalists and American nativists. Part 3 analyzes reform during the New Deal, which spawned the active resistance of second-generation Mexican Americans. Race, Place, and Reform in Mexican Los Angeles achieves a full, broad, and nuanced account of the various—and often contradictory—efforts to reform the Mexican population of Los Angeles. With a transnational approach grounded in historical context, this book will appeal to students of history, cultural studies, and literary studies
