Book excerpt: Excerpt from Opening Doors in Latin America If variety is the spice of life, Mission work in the County (departamento) of Quezaltenango may safely be described as spicy. This county to Which we seek to minister, varies in altitude from two hun dred to twelve thousand feet above sea level. It includes the tropics with their intense heat and luxuriant growth of precious woods, sugar cane, bananas, etc., extends up into a temperate zone where coffee plantations abound, then comes a cooler zone where there are occasional frosts and where corn is the chief crop, then some high plateaus where only wheat can be successfully cultivated, then again some steep mountain sides covered with pine, while in the very center of the county, visible from nearly all parts of it, towers the mighty volcano, Santa Maria, whose eruption some ten years ago nearly de stroyed the town of Quezaltenango. But if there is variety in the climate and the flora of the county there is even greater variety in those in whom we are more directly interested, i. E., the people. We have here in the county of Quezalte nangoa foreign colony of perhaps one thou sand, the largest groups being of Germans, Spaniards, and Chinese. Then there are the educated Guatemalans of Spanish descent, more or less pure. They are plantation owner's, lawyers, physicians, merchants. Next in order come the hand-workers. For be it known that we have little or no machinery work here. Our shoes and clothes are all made to order. Our fabrics are woven on hand-looms, etc., etc. The people who do this work, the weavers, dyers, carpenters, shoemakers and hatters along with the small store and saloon keepers, are Ladinos, that is, of European descent but with a large proportion of Indian blood. But lower still in the social scale comes the Indian himself, who com prises the bulk of the population. He is day laborer, pack animal, domestic servant and what not. In this county he is better off than in some other parts of the republic. He usually owns a small patch of land in the highlands where his wife and family cultivate corn or wheat and keep a few pigs or sheep. But he, poor fellow, finds little time to help them. First he must serve in the army, from three to five years, sometimes being stationed near home, some times far away. Home from his service in the army he is soon called out to aid on some public work, building a new rail road line, a bridge or similar improvement, receiving four or five cents a day and boarding himself. A few weeks or months of this and he goes home again. Before long the smooth-tongued habilitador of some large coffee or banana plantation appears in his town with money to lend, easy money, and the Indian takes the bait. In a few days it is gone, liquor and a few gaudy trappings have; made away with it. Then come the long hard days of payment. The strong arm of the law hands Mr. Indian over to the tender mercies of the plantation owner whose money he has borrowed and he must work off his debt at ten cents a day and board himself. If he wants more money he can get it up to a certain limit, it being to the plantation owner's interest to keep him in debt. The Indian thus becomes a virtual slave, for one plantation owner can sell the debt to another and the Indian must follow his debt. The Indian carriesus all on his back and receives small thanks for his trouble. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Just as the Monroe Doctrine governs American diplomacy in relations with Latin America, so the Open Door Doctrine guides American diplomacy in the Orient, particularly with respect to China. In fact, American foreign relations with China may be said to be conducted in terms of the Open Door Doctrine. Hence, a correct understanding of this policy is of vital importance. The author has searched diligently for studies on this subject, but he has found few writings that gave a satisfactory presentation. While there are fragmentary essays, he has been impressed with the lack of a comprehensive work relating to the Doctrine. It is, therefore, hoped that this work may fill this need. Particular endeavors have been made to obtain the highest and the most authoritative sources of information and materials.

Download or read book Diplomatic Correspondence of the United States Concerning the Independence of the Latin American Nations Classic Reprint written by William R. Manning and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diplomatic Correspondence of the United States Concerning the Independence of the Latin-American Nations The proposal for the publication of the Diplomatic Correspondence of the United States concerning the Independence of the latin-a merican Nations was made to the Director of the Division of International Law by Dr. Alejandro Alvarez, then and now a distinguished publicist Of Chile, in a memorandum under date of May 12, 1916. He thus explained the need for a publication of this kind, suggesting both its content and the service which it would render to the Americas: One of the necessities most strongly felt by all students of the inter national law and diplomatic history Of our continent is the knowledge of the documents relative to the glorious period of the emancipation of the latin-american nations. Among those documents, the foreign papers or papers of a diplomatic character in the files of the Department of State of the United States, as well as the correspondence of the states men who then had the honor of conducting the foreign relations of said country, occupy a preferent place. The importance of those precedents arises from the active and efficient part which the United States took in the movement of emancipation of the latin-american states and from the careful reports which, upon the political, economical and social situation of these states were sent to the Department at Washington by the agents which the former credited to the latter. This of course is equivalent to saying that in the files of the Depart ment of State of the United States there is a considerable quantity of material for the diplomatic, political and economic history of Latin America. While many of these documents had been published in American State Papers, Foreign Relations a great portion of them remain still unpublished and therefore are unknown to historians. In our estimation the Carnegie Endowment would accomplish some thing of far-reaching effect, of scientific results and pan-american approximation, if it should decide to pay the expenses which the printing of all such documents should demand, and if it should solicit the acquiescence of the Government of the United States of America for the purpose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This exceptional book makes several key contributions to the field and shows how freedom and anxiety, and the market and morality, tensely coexist in the business of sex. . . . Kelly's analysis is conveyed through vivid portraits of the lives of sex workers, showing that the women involved are neither victims nor heroines but something else: actors caught between agency and constraint.”—Roger N. Lancaster, author of The Trouble with Nature “In this tour de force of feminist anthropology, Patty Kelly gives her heart to the remarkable women who toil in the bawdy sweatshops of the Zona Galactica, a 'reformed' red-light district in the Chiapas capital of Tuxtla Gutiérrez. In fact, as Kelly shows, it is just the ultimate low-wage industrial district.”—Mike Davis, author of Planet of Slums and In Praise of Barbarians “The clarity of Kelly's perspective is neither apologetic, nor presumptive (as is usually the case); her focus is always on the political context of these women's lives. Patty Kelly writes like a poet and novelist, so much so that this work begs to be a movie.”—Carol Leigh, a.k.a. “Scarlot Harlot,” author of Unrepentant Whore

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Voices From the Open Door, Vol. 1 It had, for many years, been my custom to devote about thirty minutes in the morning of each day to quiet thought and reading of the Word and what would make its meaning clear and practical, also hymns and selections that gave expression to the wants and longings of my heart. It was while thus engaged that I became conscious of a companionship, close and sympa thetic, which grew more and more distinct, until I felt that my presence was recognized and made welcome. I could hear from within songs of praise and join in the Lord's prayer, and also, at times, hear parts of discourses.
