Download or read book Caye to Success written by Mati Gomoll and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2003-09-24 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text contains the life and times of Antonio Lorenzo Vega Sr., of Caye Caulker, Belize. It documents the life of a man who raises himself from poverty through sheer hard work at sea. Suddenly, after leading his village to remarkable success, Tony suffers the loss of his career at the very hands of those whom he has elevated. Tony is handed a second chance at recovery when a steady stream of backpackers forces him to open up his property to campers. Besides managing his hotel, Tony continues to enhance his community through his leadership. Caye to Success also shares the inside story of the formation of Belizes first fishing cooperative with the public. It describes the times surrounding this happening and how Tony Vega Sr., led a group of about three dozen islanders to join him in forming this organization. Today, this cooperative makes it possible for lobster-lovers the world over to experience a taste of Belize with a simple visit to the Red Lobster Restaurants in the United States. Reviews: Kamela Palma Chairperson National Council on Ageing Punta Gorda, Belize, Central America December 2003 Caye to Success for me as a Belizean, tells the history of one of our islands through the life of a gentle man and one of our countrys visionaries. The book spans the years from 1916 to today and relates a story of struggle, survival and achievement as experienced by Mr. Antonio Vega Sr., his parents, his wife and his children. It tells a tale of Belizes own struggle for modernization as experienced through the microcosm of this particular small island as it comes to grips with the riches of the sea and the harnessing of those riches for the betterment of the Caye Caulker community and of our beloved jewel. Mati has undertaken what so many of us with parents whose histories have shaped our communities and our country should do. I admire the honesty with which she weaves her tale and I admire the fact that she has had the courage to write this book. It is my sincere hope that all Belizeans will read this book and be inspired by it as I have been. ^^^^^^^^^^^^ James A.

De esta manera, tenemos la opción de notar lo obvio y algunas veces lo sutil para lograr entender la forma en que nuestra vida ha sido alterada. La historia de Nila, es el viaje de un alma que pasa por las cadenas intergeneracionales de su grupo familiar desde sus ancestros, colaterales, hasta sus descendientes, para vivir toda clase de experiencias buenas, regulares, y malas, con el fin de trascenderlas para evolucionar a estados más altos de conciencia. El enfoque de la historia, apunta especialmente, a la parte emocional del ser humano que es la más ignorada y a la que menos prestamos atención, la cual, obviamente nos afecta. Algunas emociones como la tristeza, la rabia, la ansiedad, la depresión, por hechos ocurridos en el pasado, no nos permiten fluir con la vida. La invitación es leer esta narración con mente abierta y tomar aquella parte con la cual se identifique cada uno. Todas las familias tienen sus historias que de una u otra manera han modificado el presente de sus integrantes.

Download or read book Crossing Borders with the Santo Ni o de Atocha written by Juan Javier Pescador and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2022-10-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crossing Borders with the Santo Niño de Atocha journeys through the genesis, development, and various metamorphoses in the veneration of the Holy Child of Atocha, from its origins in Zacatecas in the late colonial period through its different transformations over the centuries, across lands and borders, and to the ultimate rising as a defining religious devotion for the Mexican/Chicano experience in the United States. It is a vivid account of the historical origins of the Santo Niño de Atocha and His transformations "Everywhere He ever walked," first in the nineteenth century, along the Camino de Tierra Adentro between Zacatecas and New Mexico, to His consolidation as a saint for the Borderlands, and finally, to His contemporary metamorphosis as a border-crossing religious symbol for the immigrant experience and the Mexican/Chicano communities in the United States. Using a wide variety of visual and written materials from archives in Spain, Mexico, and the United States, along with oral history interviews, participant observation, photography, popular art, thanksgiving paintings, and private letters addressed to the Holy Child, Juan Javier Pescador presents the fascinating and intimate history of this religious symbol native to the Borderlands, while dispelling some myths and inaccurate references. Including narrative vignettes with his own personal experiences and fragments of his family's interactions with the Holy Child of Atocha, Pescador presents the book "as a thanksgiving testimony of the prominent position the Santo Niño de Atocha has enjoyed in the altarcitos of my family and the dear place He has carved in the hearts of my ancestors."

Book excerpt: Escribir mi testimonio tomó varios años, no porque tuviera que pensarlo mucho para decidir qué escribir, pues la historia no podría fluir con mas facilidad. Mi experiencia de Dios, que narré en la primera versión de mi libro conocido en español como "Testimonio" y en otros idiomas en que ha sido traducido como "De la Oscuridad a la luz", es tan rica en eventos, en etapas, en niveles, en interminables dimensiones espirituales, que podría seguir ampliándola por el resto de mi vida. A pesar de no tener una formación teológica o de ciencias religiosas que me acredite como docto en estos temas, he tenido mucha libertad de expresar estos misterios. Es una plena dicha compartir con ustedes todas estas experiencias que he tenido con Dios. Lo invito entonces querido lector, a navegar conmigo por estas aguas sobrenaturales de mi testimonio y le pido a Dios que imparta una gran bendición sobre su vida para que se convierta en un verdadero faro de luz en este mundo de tinieblas. Dios sea bendito!

Download or read book Body Movement and Culture written by Sally Ann Ness and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-03-07 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Body, Movement, and Culture, Sally Ann Ness provides an original interpretive account of three forms of sinulog dancing practiced in Cebu City in the Philippines: a healing ritual, a dance drama, and a "cultural" exhibition dance. Ness's examination of these dance forms yields rich insights into the cultural predicament of this Philippine city and the way in which kinesthetic and visual symbols interact to create meaning. Ness scrutinizes the patterns of movement, the use of the body and of objects, and the shaping of space common to all three versions of the sinulog. She then relates these elements to the fundamental ways the culture bearers of Cebu City experience their world. For example, she shows how each of the dance forms functions to reinforce class distinctions and to establish a code of authenticated "cultural" action. At the same time, Ness demonstrates, the dances manifest and actualize widely applied notions about the nature of "devotion," "sincerity," "naturalness," and "beauty." Throughout the text, Ness provides a close analysis of movement that is all too often missing from anthropological studies of dance. Most significantly, she works to relate the movements used in dance to everyday movement and to interpret the attitudes and values that are embodied in both choreographed and quotidian movement. Important and illuminating, Body, Movement, and Culture is of particular interest to students and scholars of anthropology, folklore, dance, and Asian studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This three-volume encyclopedia describes and explains the variety and commonalities in Latina/o culture, providing comprehensive coverage of a variety of Latina/o cultural forms—popular culture, folk culture, rites of passages, and many other forms of shared expression. In the last decade, the Latina/o population has established itself as the fastest growing ethnic group within the United States, and constitutes one of the largest minority groups in the nation. While the different Latina/o groups do have cultural commonalities, there are also many differences among them. This important work examines the historical, regional, and ethnic/racial diversity within specific traditions in rich detail, providing an accurate and comprehensive treatment of what constitutes "the Latino experience" in America. The entries in this three-volume set provide accessible, in-depth information on a wide range of topics, covering cultural traditions including food; art, film, music, and literature; secular and religious celebrations; and religious beliefs and practices. Readers will gain an appreciation for the historical, regional, and ethnic/racial diversity within specific Latina/o traditions. Accompanying sidebars and "spotlight" biographies serve to highlight specific cultural differences and key individuals.
