Book Indigenous Language Loss and Revitalization in Tecate  Baja California

Download or read book Indigenous Language Loss and Revitalization in Tecate Baja California written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As indigenous people prepare themselves for the 21 st century, many face the problem of language loss as one of their greatest challenges. As is the case with indigenous languages and cultures around the globe, the Kumeyaay language of northern Baja California is in danger of disappearing altogether in the next few years. Almost all the speakers are elderly, and many are in poor health. There are two major questions that guided this study: (1) How do conditions in the lives of bearers of endangered indigenous languages (and other community members) affect the decline of heritage languages? What is the impact of these factors on a selected indigenous community? (2) How will language revitalization and dialogue give indigenous people back their voice and raise their social consciousness in order to overcome the oppression under which they live? How will this occur in a selected community? During a six-year process of creating trust through dialogue and interaction with a Kumeyaay family, the researcher helped facilitate the family's creation of a project to learn their heritage language. During this time, narratives were collected which show the raising of the members' consciousness vis-à-vis the historicity of their situation and their transformation from shame and separation to pride in their heritage and a reuniting of the family. Through the voice and testimonio of the participating language bearer/teacher, this study documents his life and his transformation from rejection of his heritage and language to promotion of the language and its accompanying heritage to both his family and the community at large. Through narratives of family members, it also documents the fact that the family, with the leadership and tutelage of this family patriarch, has begun to bring the language and its accompanying culture back from the brink of extinction. Looking to the future, it is hoped that, using this study as a model, others may formulate similar projects which will change the culture of loss into a culture of promise.

Book Postcards from the Baja California Border

Download or read book Postcards from the Baja California Border written by Daniel D. Arreola and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postcards have a magical pull. They allow us to see the past through charming relics that allow us to travel back in time. Daniel D. Arreola’s Postcards from the Baja California Border offers a window into the historical and geographical past of storied Mexican border communities. Once-popular tourist destinations from the 1900s through the 1950s, the border communities explored in Postcards from the Baja California Border used to be filled with revelers, cabarets, curio shops, and more. The postcards in this book show the bright and dynamic past of California’s borderlands while diving deep into the historic and geographic significance of the imagery found on the postcards. This form of place study calls attention to how we can see a past through a serial view of places, by the nature of repetition, and the photographing of the same place over and over again. Arreola draws our focus to townscapes, or built landscapes, of four border towns—Tijuana, Mexicali, Tecate, and Algodones—during the first half of the twentieth century. With an emphasis on the tourist’s view of these places, this book creates a vivid picture of what life was like for tourists and residents of these towns in the early and mid-twentieth century. Postcards from the Baja California Border is a rich and fascinating experience, one that takes you on a time-travel journey through border town histories and geographies while celebrating the visual intrigue of postcards.
