This book was released on 2017-12-10 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We gladly present this anthological book No 3, with reference to the Amazon region and part of the series "Myths and Legends in Bolivian Literature." That it was conceived in an attempt to gather the mythical and legendary stories that happened in the territory of Bolivia, written by diverse authors and preferably Bolivians. With the aim of providing a mythological reference with literary sustenance for researchers and students. Living in a region where narrative wealth is everywhere, this book was inevitable. On the one hand, there is the rich bourge of popular culture, an inexhaustible source of myths, legends and stories, as well as all those manifestations of oral tradition that have been transmitted in the spaces of the family. On the other hand, there is that written production that many writers have conceived, either as a tribute to cultural traditions, or with formative intentions. That with its literary and historical quality, as for its theme, has reached meaning and significance for readers and researchers. Although this book does not pretend to be an inventory of the myths and legends of the heart of South America, it has tried to recover (in a laborious bibliographical search, although still unfinished), a specific production through time, with several purposes: One, to return to the readers the mythical literature that belongs to them and that, despite the implacable passage of the years and the epochs, could recover a history almost forgotten. Another, to enrich the imaginary with characters, feelings, situations and landscapes, magical and mythological, belonging to the most typical manifestations of our American culture.
Download or read book Myths and Legends in Bolivian Literature written by Marcial Villarroel Siles and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The anthology of myths and legends that forms this book brings together a total of 66 works selected from different periods and literary styles, with the historical and geographical reference of Bolivia as a common link. Of which 25 belong to the Andean region, 16 correspond to the valleys and 25 are from the eastern Amazon. All respond to narrative texts of historical chronicles or literary works of writers preferably Bolivian. The current anthology, like any work of this nature, is based on the work of collecting, selecting and translating texts already produced by other literary researchers. These works began with the first Spanish chroniclers and doctriners, mestizes and natives. They have been pursued by national and foreign researchers. At present, with computer and electronic intercommunication, a greater degree of precision is achieved in the work of anthropologists, linguists and folklorists. The compilation of the considered works was defined in three areas of selection: A first area in which we include most of the legends, which refer to the ancient chronicles of which the authors of the first histories of the cities were nourished. A second area, which corresponds to strictly literary texts and a romantic cup, inspired by myths and legends. We can consider it as the forerunner of the historical novel. And a third area, which stems from the purest traditional oral tradition, although, for the most part, rooted in the cultural bust of peoples and regions, where fantasy and imagination prevail above all else. With this, the end result is a heterogeneous display of narrative styles, in which the variety predominates predominantly. Variety in the subject approached, because in the selection, we tried to cover all kinds of mythical legends, from those in which the historical plot prevails, to those in which the idols of love prevail, passing by others focused on miraculous events, or in mysterious events. Variety also in relation to the different historical stages in which the legendary stories are located, as well as in the different cultural zones, in which they are inscribed. And the variety, also, with regard to the chosen authors, as indicated previously.

Download or read book The People of the River written by Oscar de la Torre and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-08-17 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this history of the black peasants of Amazonia, Oscar de la Torre focuses on the experience of African-descended people navigating the transition from slavery to freedom. He draws on social and environmental history to connect them intimately to the natural landscape and to Indigenous peoples. Relying on this world as a repository for traditions, discourses, and strategies that they retrieved especially in moments of conflict, Afro-Brazilians fought for autonomous communities and developed a vibrant ethnic identity that supported their struggles over labor, land, and citizenship. Prior to abolition, enslaved and escaped blacks found in the tropical forest a source for tools, weapons, and trade--but it was also a cultural storehouse within which they shaped their stories and records of confrontations with slaveowners and state authorities. After abolition, the black peasants' knowledge of local environments continued to be key to their aspirations, allowing them to maintain relationships with powerful patrons and to participate in the protest cycle that led Getulio Vargas to the presidency of Brazil in 1930. In commonly referring to themselves by such names as "sons of the river," black Amazonians melded their agro-ecological traditions with their emergent identity as political stakeholders.

Book excerpt: Uniting the ethnographic data collected by the fieldwork methods invented by Malinowski with Levi-Strauss's analyses of the relations between myth and time, this book analyzes a century of social transformation of the indigenous Piro people of Peruvian Amazonia.

Download or read book Biographical Anthology of Governors Inkarri written by Marcial VILLARROEL and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-06-22 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pages of this "Biographical Anthology of Governing Inkarri," sub called "The President & The Myth of Inkarri," appeared together with the anthological series "Myths and Legends in Bolivian Literature." It was conceived previously in an attempt to gather mythical and legendary stories that occurred in the territory of Bolivia, written by various authors and preferably Bolivians. Whose anthological elaboration brought with it the recognition and analysis of a mythological reference with literary sustenance known as "The Inkarri myth." Which led us to an investigation of biographical aspect of the inkarri rulers. Living in a region of South America, where the Andean narrative richness is everywhere, this book was inevitable. On the one hand, there is the rich heritage of popular culture, an inexhaustible source of myths, such as the "Myth of Inkarri." Which is one of the manifestations of oral tradition that have been transmitted in the spaces of the community and family. Rescued in a written production with character of mythological and historical analysis by the writer Franklin Pease G. Y., an initial source of reference to expose the Inkarri Myth. On the other hand, there is that information written in the form of biography, which many media have conceived, whether with informative or critical intentions, around the current head of the Bolivian state. Who does not stop excelling with his characteristic indigenous ancestry. That has come to add to the biography of previous and outstanding inkarri rulers. Those that with a certain literary and historical quality, as for their biographical theme, have reached meaning and significance for readers and social researchers. And although this book does not pretend to be an impeccable biography of the Bolivian head of state, nor of the previous inkarri rulers of the Tahuantinsuyo, nor is it a prophetic affirmation of the myths and legends of the Andean heart of South America. Yes, an attempt has been made to reconcile a long-awaited hope for indigenous and highland freedom embodied in a myth, with a current and motivating reality for millions of Bolivians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bolivia Reader provides a panoramic view, from antiquity to the present, of the history, culture, and politics of a country known for its ethnic and regional diversity, its rich natural resources and dilemmas of economic development, and its political conflict and creativity. Featuring both classic and little-known texts ranging from fiction, memoir, and poetry to government documents, journalism, and political speeches, the volume challenges stereotypes of Bolivia as a backward nation while offering insights into the country's history of mineral extraction, revolution, labor organizing, indigenous peoples' movements, and much more. Whether documenting Inka rule or Spanish conquest, three centuries at the center of Spanish empire, or the turbulent politics and cultural vibrancy of the national period, these sources—the majority of which appear in English for the first time—foreground the voices of actors from many different walks of life. Unprecedented in scope, The Bolivia Reader illustrates the historical depth and contemporary challenges of Bolivia in all their complexity.
