Book excerpt: Here are descriptions of Mexico, California, voyages to the Pacific Coast, and descriptions of Peru and Chile written in 1849 by a lieutenant of the US Navy. For modern readers it is not just a travelogue, but also a history of places as they were almost two centuries ago.

Download or read book The Dog Who Spoke and More Mayan Folktales written by James D. Sexton and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-10-22 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the delightful Mayan folktale The Dog Who Spoke, we learn what happens when a dog’s master magically transforms into a dog-man who reasons like a man but acts like a dog. This and the other Mayan folktales in this bilingual collection brim with the enchanting creativity of rural Guatemala’s oral culture. In addition to stories about ghosts and humans turning into animals, the volume also offers humorous yarns. Hailing from the Lake Atitlán region in the Guatemalan highlands, these tales reflect the dynamics of, and conflicts between, Guatemala’s Indian, Ladino, and white cultures. The animals, humans, and supernatural forces that figure in these stories represent Mayan cultural values, social mores, and history. James D. Sexton and Fredy Rodríguez-Mejía allow the thirty-three stories to speak for themselves—first in the original Spanish and then in English translations that maintain the meaning and rural inflection of the originals. Available in print for the first time, with a glossary of Indian and Spanish terms, these Guatemalan folktales represent generations of transmitted oral culture that is fast disappearing and deserves a wider audience.
Download or read book Gringos written by Charles Portis and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2000-05-01 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Portis’s fourth novel—a truly brilliant, wonderfully bizarre novel by one of our great American novelists. Jimmy Burns is an expatriate American living in Mexico who has an uncommonly astute eye for the absurd little details that comprise your average American. For a time, Jimmy spent his days unearthing pre-Colombian artifacts. Now he makes a living doing small trucking jobs and helping out with the occasional missing person situation—whatever it takes to remain “the very picture of an American idler in Mexico, right down to the grass-green golfing trousers.” But when Jimmy’s laid-back lifestyle is seriously imposed upon by a ninety-pound stalker called Louise, a sudden wave of “hippies” (led by a murderous ex-con guru) in search of psychic happenings, and a group of archaeologists who are unearthing (illegally) Mayan tombs, his simple South-of-the-Border existence faces a clear and present danger.

Download or read book Yo Soy Negro written by Tanya Maria Golash-Boza and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yo Soy Negro is the first book in English--in fact, the first book in any language in more than two decades--to address what it means to be black in Peru. Based on extensive ethnographic work in the country and informed by more than eighty interviews with Peruvians of African descent, this groundbreaking study explains how ideas of race, color, and mestizaje in Peru differ greatly from those held in other Latin American nations. The conclusion that Tanya Maria Golash-Boza draws from her rigorous inquiry is that Peruvians of African descent give meaning to blackness without always referencing Africa, slavery, or black cultural forms. This represents a significant counterpoint to diaspora scholarship that points to the importance of slavery in defining blackness in Latin America as well as studies that place cultural and class differences at the center of racial discourses in the region.

De repente se transportaron a un mundo de placer y ya no lo pudieron evitar, ya que los dos lo deseaban, consumar su amor en una entrega total de dos almas y dos cuerpos que se aman. El exquisito embeleso los llevo a un extasis de amor, desconocido, pero placentero para los dos. En el rostro de Mary se veia un color hermoso y resplandeciente. Pedro la acariciaba como queriendo detener el tiempo, que ese momento sublime se quedara ahi entre ellos, para siempre y por toda una eternidad. --No Javi, yo tengo mas de lo que necesito, el dinero no es las vida. Con el abrazo que me dieron ayer, me basto para sentirme bien pagado, les aseguro que yo los quiero igual. --Asi se habla Pachito --dijo David emocionado--, la amistad entre los hombres es lo que mas cuenta en las vida. La amistad no tiene credos, limites, ni nacionalidades, cuando nace una amistad no importa de donde seas, que creas, o que posicion tienes, a una amistad sincera no le importa si eres rico o pobre, siempre perdura toda una vida.
Download or read book The Other Side of the Fence written by Sheila Croucher and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A growing number of Americans, many of them retirees, are migrating to Mexico's beach resorts, border towns, and picturesque heartland. While considerable attention has been paid to Mexicans who immigrate to the U.S., the reverse scenario receives little scrutiny. Shifting the traditional lens of North American migration, The Other Side of the Fence takes a fascinating look at a demographic trend that presents significant implications for the United States and Mexico. The first in-depth account of this trend, Sheila Croucher's study describes the cultural, economic, and political lives of these migrants of privilege. Focusing primarily on two towns, San Miguel de Allende in the mountains and Ajijic along the shores of Lake Chapala, Croucher depicts the surprising similarities between immigrant populations on both sides of the border. Few Americans living in Mexico are fluent in the language of their new land, and most continue to practice the culture and celebrate the national holidays of their homeland, maintaining close political, economic, and social ties to the United States while making political demands on Mexico, where they reside. Accessible, timely, and brimming with eye-opening, often ironic, findings, The Other Side of the Fence brings an important perspective to borderlands debates.
