The country has faced several challenges in recent years, including high levels of poverty, gang violence, and environmental issues. However, efforts to improve infrastructure, education, and social programs have been made to address these challenges.

Download or read book Itzalku written by Milton Manrique Juarez and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-03 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long gone are the monuments and the traditions of the people. Long gone are the sacrifices and ceremonial offerings to the old gods. Most Mesoamericans have either been killed or enslaved, and Spain owns the land. Now, there are too few Indians left that still remember their rich culture and even less that keep the traditions alive. Many great civilizations have been lost. Among them are the Chaneques of southern Mexico; child-sized beings that are able to enchant humans by a mere touch. The Chaneques guarded the magic secrets of the gods and protected their existence. It is also said that they stole children and befuddle the grownups. There are many witnesses who claim to have seen and spoken to them. A traveling family from western Cuscatl'n is about to find out if the legends are true. Follow young Itzcuauhtzin and his younger sister Xochitl, who are about to find out one of the biggest secrets in Mesoamerican history. When their younger siblings and mother are taken, Itzcuauhtzin must follow their captors deep into the mountains in the hopes of rescuing his family. The young warrior wasn't expecting to discover the secrets of his humble people.
Download or read book El Salvador written by Salvador Nunez and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why El Salvador - Hidden Truths? In writing this book, I propose to explore these Salvadoran histories, pages hidden in dust which we have been denied by the economic power and its Governments since the time of the Spanish Invasion. We have systematically been denied the truth of this history, which is part of our being as the original peoples, which belongs to us, to our identity. We have been robbed and badly treated for more than 528 years; which has caused trauma and suffering across our lives. And so I undertook to look beneath the debris of the past with its enigmas to find the truth in our past history from our ancestors, colonization, independence, the first peoples uprisings, genocide and ethnocide against our ancestors. As well as crimes against humanity. The role of the Catholic Church, in the colonisation and imposition of Christianity and its Holy Inquisition. I also want you to be prepared, because in this book you will encounter many surprises and facts which are going to collide with your beliefs and notions of being human. I am not talking about to be Christians, because that is much deeper. But of the cruelty of the Spanish conquerors, with the lies and falsehoods with which the Salvadorans have been educated. Honour and Glory brothers and sisters: Nahuas, Maya, Lencas Chortis, Pocomames, Xincas, Kakawiras, Chorotegas and Izalcos who offered their blood for us and future generations. This Lent without resurrection to which our ancestors were subjected to, began with the Spanish Invasion and has continued till this day in 2020. What you will find in the following pages, are not sweet nor cheap announcements from the Salvadoran power base, in its communication mediums: Newspaper, Television, digital media and many other lying media. For the first time, there are voices of our ancestors in the presence of our current generations- the grandfathers and grandmothers, the young and their actual leaders.

Download or read book One Day of Life written by Manlio Argueta and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1991-01-09 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrated for the authenticity of its vernacular style and the incandescence of its lyricism, One Day of Life depicts a typical day in the life of a peasant family caught up in the terror and corruption of civil war in El Salvador. 5:30 A.M. in Chalate, a small rural town: Lupe, the grandmother of the Guardado family and the central figure of the novel, is up and about doing her chores. By 5:00 P.M. the plot of the novel has been resolved, with the Civil Guard's search for and interrogation of Lupe's young granddaughter, Adolfina. Told entirely from the perspective of the resilient women of the Guardado family, One Day of Life is not only a disturbing and inspiring evocation of the harsh realities of peasant life in El Salvador after fifty years of military exploitation; it is also a mercilessly accurate dramatization of the relationship of the peasants to both the state and the church. Translated from the Spanish by Bill Brow
Download or read book Migrations in Late Mesoamerica written by Christopher S. Beekman and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2019-10-14 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing the often-neglected topic of migration to the forefront of ancient Mesoamerican studies, this volume uses an illuminating multidisciplinary approach to address the role of population movements in Mexico and Central America from AD 500 to 1500, the tumultuous centuries before European contact. Clarifying what has to date been chiefly speculation, researchers from the fields of archaeology, biological anthropology, linguistics, ethnohistory, and art history delve deeply into the causes and impacts of prehistoric migration in the region. They draw on evidence including records of the Nahuatl language, murals painted at the Cacaxtla polity, ceramics in the style known as Coyotlatelco, skeletal samples from multiple sites, and conquest-era accounts of the origins of the Chichén Itzá Maya from both Native and Spanish scribes. The diverse datasets in this volume help reveal the choices and priorities of migrants during times of political, economic, and social changes that unmoored populations from ancestral lands. Migrations in Late Mesoamerica shows how migration patterns are vitally important to study due to their connection to environmental and political disruption in both ancient societies and today’s world. A volume in the series Maya Studies, edited by Diane Z. Chase and Arlen F. Chase

Download or read book The Traditional Ecological Knowledge of the Solega written by Aung Si and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-09 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the ethnobiology and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) of the Solega people of southern India. Solega TEK is shown to be a complex, inter-related network of detailed observations of natural phenomena, well-reasoned and often highly accurate theorizing, as well as a belief system, derived from cultural norms, regarding the relationships between humans and other species on the one hand, and between non-human species on the other. As language-based studies are strongly biased toward investigations of ethno-taxonomy and nomenclature, the importance of studying TEK in its proper context is discussed as making context and encyclopedic knowledge the objects of study are essential for a proper understanding of TEK.
