This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The region of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado holds a unique place in the world of Spanish folk literature. Isolated from the rest of the Spanish-speaking world for most of its history since its first settlement in 1598, it has retained, even into our own time, much of its Hispanic folkloric heritage from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-ballads, songs, poems, folktales, sayings, anecdotes, proverbs, riddles, and folk drama. In this book, written in the late 1930s and never before published, Aurelio M. Espinosa, New Mexico’s pioneer folklorist, presents the first comprehensive, authoritative account of the relict folklore, bringing together the results of his collecting during the first third of this century, in the Southwest and in Spain, and his many ground-breaking scholarly studies.

Latino folklore is a fun and fascinating subject to many Americans, regardless of ethnicity. Interest in—and celebration of—Latin traditions such as Día de los Muertos in the United States is becoming more common outside of Latino populations. Celebrating Latino Folklore: An Encyclopedia of Cultural Traditions provides a broad and comprehensive collection of descriptive information regarding all the genres of Latino folklore in the United States, covering the traditions of Americans who trace their ancestry to Mexico, Spain, or Latin America. The encyclopedia surveys all manner of topics and subject matter related to Latino folklore, covering the oral traditions and cultural heritage of Latin Americans from riddles and dance to food and clothing. It covers the folklore of 21 Latin American countries as these traditions have been transmitted to the United States, documenting how cultures interweave to enrich each other and create a unique tapestry within the melting pot of the United States.

Download or read book Violence and Piety in Spanish Folklore written by Timothy J. Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative book, Timothy J. Mitchell examines how Spanish cultural creations reflect the extraordinary fusion of violence and religiosity that has shaped Spanish' history. Using legends, rituals, fiestas, folk poetry, and popular drama, Mitchell demonstrates that crises of one kind or another lie behind Spanish moral codes and honor codes alike. Significantly, the intense devotion Spaniards feel for their patron saints is inseparable from magical procedures for the eradication of "enemies"-- the witch, the Moor, the Jew. Mitchell contends that patently unjust rites of popular justice, for example mock executions of Judas, can paradoxically evolve to include elements of confession, grace, and moral progress. Elaborating such insights into provocative theory of the Spanish cultural "style," Mitchell reveals the structural unity of a wide range of popular creations -- the bullfight, Holy Week processions, the legend of Rodrigo, the myth of Don Juan, the cult of the Virgin. He draws upon recent advances in social psychology to dismantle the misconceptions that surround these well-known features of Spanish civilization. Throughout the book, Mitchell illustrates his points with relevant and lively selections of Spanish folk poetry accompanied by clear English translations. Violence and Piety in Spanish Folklore will be of interest to students and teachers of Spanish history and culture, folklore, anthropology, and religious studies -- Book jacket.

Download or read book Multilingual America written by Werner Sollors and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1998-08 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aside from the occasional controversy over "Official English" campaigns, language remains the blind spot in the debate over multiculturalism. Considering its status as a nation of non-English speaking aborigines and of immigrants with many languages, America exhibits a curious tunnel vision about cultural and literary forms that are not in English. How then have non-English speaking Americans written about their experiences in this country? And what can we learn-about America, immigration and ethnicity-from them? Arguing that multilingualism is perhaps the most important form of diversity, Multilingual America calls attention to-and seeks to correct-the linguistic parochialism that has defined American literary study. By bringing together essays on important works by, among others, Yiddish, Chinese American, German American, Italian American, Norwegian American, and Spanish American writers, Werner Sollors here presents a fuller view of multilingualism as a historical phenomenon and as an ongoing way of life. At a time when we are just beginning to understand the profound effects of language acquisition on the development of the brain, Multilingual America forces us to broaden what in fact constitutes American literature.
