Download or read book Somos como las nubes We Are Like the Clouds written by Jorge Argueta and published by Groundwood Books Ltd. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eloquent and timely plea for understanding refugees. Why are young people leaving their country to walk to the United States to seek a new, safe home? Over 100,000 such children have left Central America. This book of poetry helps us to understand why and what it is like to be them. This powerful book by award-winning Salvadoran poet Jorge Argueta describes the terrible process that leads young people to undertake the extreme hardships and risks involved in the journey to what they hope will be a new life of safety and opportunity. A refugee from El Salvador’s war in the eighties, Argueta was born to explain the tragic choice confronting young Central Americans today who are saying goodbye to everything they know because they fear for their lives. This book brings home their situation and will help young people who are living in safety to understand those who are not. Compelling, timely and eloquent, this book is beautifully illustrated by master artist Alfonso Ruano who also illustrated The Composition, considered one of the 100 Greatest Books for Kids by Scholastic’s Parent and Child Magazine.

This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cipriano Frederico Vigil is the most important performer of traditional Nuevomexicano folk music in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. This bilingual panoramic book presents the songs that are his life’s work, spanning half a century of listening, playing, composing, and singing ritual, social, and dance music. New Mexican Folk Music includes much traditional material that has never been seen before or studied by scholars or students. Renowned as a composer, Vigil works in traditional genres such as the romance, the décima, the cuando, and corrido. Like the Mexican group Los Folkloristas with which he apprenticed in the late 1970s, his goal has been to research and master local styles, to introduce new listeners to traditional music, and to build on tradition by creating new compositions that address contemporary social themes. An audio CD accompanies this comprehensive study on the work and music of Cipriano Frederico Vigil.

Download or read book Colonial Ch olti written by Robbie A. Haertel and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time of the Spanish conquest, Ch’olti’ was spoken throughout much of the southern Maya lowlands in what is present-day Petén and Chiquimula, and is closely related to that spoken by the authors of the Classic Maya inscriptions. This book presents for the first time a facsimile, transcription, English and Spanish translation, and grammatical analysis of the Morán Manuscript, a Colonial-era document that provides the sole attestation of Ch’olti’. In addition to its value as a chronicle of the Colonial period, the Morán Manuscript is crucial to our understanding of the Classic Maya, particularly their language, captured in thousands of intricately carved and painted hieroglyphic inscriptions. Robertson, Law, and Haertel, regarded as the ablest interpreters of Ch’olti’ now working in Mayan linguistics, provide not only a painstaking presentation of language data but also a detailed history of the manuscript itself. They discuss the document’s probable authorship, investigate where and by whom Ch’olti’ was spoken at contact, and infer how speakers maintained their expressive capabilities in the face of colonial oppression. The transcribed Ch’olti’ texts feature an orthographically standardized version with a morpheme-by-morpheme gloss, a literal English translation that preserves many of the poetic structures and metaphors, and a flowing translation in both English and Spanish. The publication of this document marks a major contribution to the fields of Maya epigraphy, Mayan linguistics, ethnohistory, and Mesoamerican languages. It will serve as the definitive presentation of the Morán Manuscript and stand as a major contribution to further understanding the language of the Maya inscriptions in Mexico and Guatemala.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debemos tener desconfianza de nuestro pensamiento y de nuestra mente, pues están demasiado sesgados por los contenidos de la experiencia cotidiana y por los sistemas de creencias que distorsionan la percepción de lo que creemos que es la realidad. ¿No será que en este punto tenemos que aceptar que la realidad y la fantasía se entremezclan una con otra, conformando un campo nebuloso de "realismo mágico", tal como lo denomina el Premio Nobel, Gabriel García Márquez, donde no es posible tener claridad o certeza total al respecto y menos aún, poder calificar como real o irreal una experiencia personal de carácter sublime? Debemos desconfiar un poco de nuestro pensamiento, así como de nuestras emociones y sentimientos y de los sistemas de creencias emanados del entorno cultural que nos rodea. Observando, comprendiendo, analizando y acondicionando nuestros pensamientos, emociones, sentimientos y creencias, podremos mejorar nuestra realización en la vida, ya que tendremos una percepción más acertada de la realidad.
