The authors trace Mexico's growing role as an important refuge for Americans seeking not only sun and fun but an alternative cultural and social model. Delving into the rich and varied worlds of political exiles, students, art dealers, retiree/artist colonies, and tourist zones, this work illustrates why large numbers of Americans have been irresistibly drawn to Mexico. Specialists in literature, anthropology, history, and geography bring their unique perspectives to the stories of these migrants, offering a fascinating interpretation to all those interested in modern Mexican history, border studies, tourism, and retirement in Mexico.
Download or read book Adventure Divas written by Holly Morris and published by Villard. This book was released on 2006-10-31 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After years of working behind a desk, Holly Morris had finally had enough. So she quit her job and set out to prove that adventure is not just a vacation style but a philosophy of living and to find like-minded, risk-taking women around the globe. With modest backing, a small television crew, her spirited producer-mother, Jeannie, and a whole lot of chutzpah, Morris tracked down artists, activists, and politicos–women of action who are changing the rules and sometimes the world around them. In these pages, Morris brings to life the remarkable people and places she’s encountered on the road while filming her PBS series Adventure Divas and other programs. We meet Assata Shakur, a former Black Panther and social activist and now a fugitive living in exile in Cuba; Kiran Bedi, New Delhi’s chief of police, who revolutionized India’s infamously brutal Tijar Jail with her humanitarian ethic; New Zealand pop star Hinewehi Mohi, a Maori who reinvigorates her native culture for a new generation; and Mokarrameh Ghanbari, a septuagenarian painter and rice farmer who lives in the tiny village of Darikandeh on the Caspian plains of Iran, where her creative talents run counter to the government’s strict stance on art. Along the way, Morris herself becomes a certified Adventure Diva, as she hunts for wild boar with Penan tribesmen in the jungles of Borneo, climbs the Matterhorn short-roped to a salty fourth-generation Swiss guide, and memorably becomes the first woman ever to enter the traditional camel race of the Saharan oasis town of Timia. Intelligent, phenomenally funny, and chock-full of rich and telling details of place, Adventure Divas is a pro-woman chronicle for the twenty-first century. In a pilgrimage fueled by curiosity, ideology, and full-on estrogen power, Holly Morris has paved the way for all of us to discover our own diva within and set out on our own adventures.

Download or read book The Red City written by John M. Merriman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1985-09-05 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This imaginative study recaptures 100 years in the life of Limoges, France's first socialist city, at a time when Limoges rode high on the crest of every wave of social, political, and industrial change. The story of this single city is the story of urban transformation and political radicalism in 19th-century France, of the struggle between tradition and modernity in French society and politics that took place not only within cities but also between cities and the countryside. Here, Merriman offers vivid portraits of particular social groups, neighborhoods, and events in 19th-century Limoges to describe and analyze the impact of large-scale industrialization, the social bases of political conflict, and the eventual emergence of a powerful working class. The central characters of Merriman's study are the very ordinary denizens of this extraordinary city--its butchers, porcelain workers, laundresses, priests--through whom one sees the effects of urbanization and industrialization on their quarters, work, religion, culture, and political life. The close of the 19th century marked the end of one of France's last truly revolutionary situations, concludes Merriman, as growing centralization dampened revolutionary zeal and the 20th century ushered in a combination of industrial capitalism and a powerful state that was seemingly invulnerable to revolutionary challenges from the working class.

Download or read book Adventure by Chicken Bus written by Janet LoSole and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-12-11 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embarking on a homeschooling field trip to Central America is stressful enough, but add in perilous bridge crossings, trips to the hospital, and a lack of women's underwear, and you have the makings of an Adventure by Chicken Bus. Buckling under a mountain of debt, Janet LoSole and her family are at their wits' end. Determined to make a drastic change, they sell all worldly possessions and hit the road. With only a few items of clothing, a four-person tent, and little else, the family visits a sleepy island backwater in Costa Rica to save endangered sea turtles. In Panama, they bounce around like turnips in the back of a vegetable truck to reach an isolated monkey sanctuary. In Guatemala, they scale the ancient Mayan temples of Tikal. In between tales of begging rides from total strangers and sleeping overnight in the jungle with an indigenous family, Janet endorses community-based travel--supporting local businesses and favoring public transportation called chicken buses. She also writes candidly about what it takes to travel long-term with two little girls amid the chaos of border crossings, erratic drivers, and creepy crawlies lurking at the edge of the jungle.
Download or read book From Dementia to Adventure written by Neil Mapes and published by Neil Mapes. This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From dementia to adventure, in the travel literature genre, is an experiential journey in and around Peru. Neil Mapes put his life in London, which included working with people with dementia, on hold to take a career break in Peru. The two-month journey took place during August and September of 2001 and involved the lone circumnavigation of an enchanting country. London and dementia are swapped for Lima and adventure. The struggles with dementia are left behind for new adventures. After the dirt and danger of Lima the journey proceeds down the coast to the tourist highlight of Pisco and the natural beauty of Las Islas Ballestras. Then it is onward into the depths of the Andes to Arequipa, Lake Titicaca, Cuzco and the famous Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. The mountains are left behind as the journey flows into the Amazon jungle and weeks are spent getting lost in time and space before traversing the Andes once more to experience the lesser travelled towns and cities of the North coast before returning to Lima. The country and its many offerings are seen at first hand and reflected on with humour and compassion. This work is like a cross between ‘Round Ireland with a fridge’ and ‘The Celestine prophecy.’ It explores the highs and lows of independent travel and how enriching this form of travel is. It is aimed both at the serious traveller, who wants to take a break from their current career life and get a feel of the country they are to visit in a way that a guidebook cannot provide, and the armchair traveller who is in search of escape into a new world. It will appeal to people who like to reflect on the experiences of meeting people and visiting places. The primary theme throughout is one of connecting with the local people and the landscape. There are many Peruvians who are met and influence this journey. Some of these include Armando who dispenses his advice on his beloved country, Monica the barmaid in the fishing town of Pisco, there is the Ayahuasca jungle artist called George, Christian missionaries on the north coast and love with a girl named Elsa on the way back to Lima. The secondary theme is that of spiritual discovery and development. The stresses of modern city life are put on hold to reflect on what is important in life - time for the soul to grow. At each stage of the journey there is time for inner searching and contemplation. The questions asked are the central questions that exist in all our lives, for example: ‘What am I here for?’ ‘What am I doing with my life? It aims to allow people to discover their own spirituality, to assess where their lives are going and how to make the best of the time we each have. For the many readers that may have found themselves wrapped up in a career they no longer care for, or one in which they are becoming weary, this work gives them one example of how to break this downward spiral. If each person that reads this work asks himself or herself the following question then the writing will have achieved its goal. ‘What do I really want to do and to be before I die?’
