Book Synopsis American Gitanos in Mexico City by : David Lagunas
Download or read book American Gitanos in Mexico City written by David Lagunas and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed and comprehensive description of the Gitano community of Mexico City. The ethnographic study showcases the interplay between cultural reproduction, economic reproduction, and the Gitano / non-Gitano opposition. The first part of the book discusses how the cultural identity of this community is reproduced based on migratory processes, social relations and the dynamics of kinship and gender roles to understand the contradiction between value systems and practices in a patriarchal society. In the second part, emphasis is placed on the economic dynamism of this group in its interactions with the majority society in the context of informal economy and the group’s articulation with space and mobility in the territory. The analysis problematizes territorial mobility and circulation regimes based on fieldwork carried out in the process of active participation with Gitano families selling textile clothes and accessories through the country.

Book Synopsis Multicultural America by : Carlos E. Cortés
Download or read book Multicultural America written by Carlos E. Cortés and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 2475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive title is among the first to extensively use newly released 2010 U.S. Census data to examine multiculturalism today and tomorrow in America. This distinction is important considering the following NPR report by Eyder Peralta: “Based on the first national numbers released by the Census Bureau, the AP reports that minorities account for 90 percent of the total U.S. growth since 2000, due to immigration and higher birth rates for Latinos.” According to John Logan, a Brown University sociologist who has analyzed most of the census figures, “The futures of most metropolitan areas in the country are contingent on how attractive they are to Hispanic and Asian populations.” Both non-Hispanic whites and blacks are getting older as a group. “These groups are tending to fade out,” he added. Another demographer, William H. Frey with the Brookings Institution, told The Washington Post that this has been a pivotal decade. “We’re pivoting from a white-black-dominated American population to one that is multiracial and multicultural.” Multicultural America: A Multimedia Encyclopedia explores this pivotal moment and its ramifications with more than 900 signed entries not just providing a compilation of specific ethnic groups and their histories but also covering the full spectrum of issues flowing from the increasingly multicultural canvas that is America today. Pedagogical elements include an introduction, a thematic reader’s guide, a chronology of multicultural milestones, a glossary, a resource guide to key books, journals, and Internet sites, and an appendix of 2010 U.S. Census Data. Finally, the electronic version will be the only reference work on this topic to augment written entries with multimedia for today’s students, with 100 videos (with transcripts) from Getty Images and Video Vault, the Agence France Press, and Sky News, as reviewed by the media librarian of the Rutgers University Libraries, working in concert with the title’s editors.
Book Synopsis Hierarchy, Commerce and Fraud in Bourbon Spanish America by : Ruth Hill
Download or read book Hierarchy, Commerce and Fraud in Bourbon Spanish America written by Ruth Hill and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using El lazarillo de ciegos caminantes (the "Guide for Blind Rovers" by Alonso Carrio de Lavandera, the best known work of the era) as a jumping off point for a sprawling discussion of 18th-century Spanish America, Ruth Hill argues for a richer, more nuanced understanding of the relationship between Spain and its western colonies. Armed with primary sources including literature, maps, census data, letters, and diaries, Hill reveals a rich world of intrigue and artifice, where identity is surprisingly fluid and always in question. More importantly, Hill crafts a complex argument for reassessing our understanding of race and class distinctions at the time, with enormous implications for how we view conceptions of race and class today.
Book Synopsis Costumes of Old Mexico Carselle & Poveda Souvenir Dolls by : Sandy Hargrove
Download or read book Costumes of Old Mexico Carselle & Poveda Souvenir Dolls written by Sandy Hargrove and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-04-14 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insights into Mexico's historical development comes through a study of ten traditional costumes found on souvenir dolls. The dolls were made by the Muñecos Carselle and Poveda companies during the 1940's-1960's. The costumes span Mexico's history from the Colonial period to the 1960's. Each part of the dolls' costumes is identified. Stories, songs, and events associated with each costume is accompanied by numerous colored pictures, diagrams, and black and white photos showing actual clothing. These are some of the most often seen trajes tipicos (traditional costumes) found in Mexico. The dolls are a time capsule preserving distinctive clothing that is now disappearing.

Book Synopsis Encyclopedia of Latin American Popular Music by : George Torres
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Latin American Popular Music written by George Torres and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-03-27 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive survey examines Latin American music, focusing on popular—as opposed to folk or art—music and containing more than 200 entries on the concepts and terminology, ensembles, and instruments that the genre comprises. The rich and soulful character of Latin American culture is expressed most vividly in the sounds and expressions of its musical heritage. While other scholars have attempted to define and interpret this body of work, no other resource has provided such a detailed view of the topic, covering everything from the mambo and unique music instruments to the biographies of famous Latino musicians. Encyclopedia of Latin American Popular Music delivers scholarly, authoritative, and accessible information on the subject, and is the only single-volume reference in English that is devoted to an encyclopedic study of the popular music in this genre. This comprehensive text—organized alphabetically—contains roughly 200 entries and includes a chronology, discussion of themes in Latin American music, and 37 biographical sidebars of significant musicians and performers. The depth and scope of the book's coverage will benefit music courses, as well as studies in Latin American history, multicultural perspectives, and popular culture.

Book Synopsis The Zoot-Suit Riots by : Mauricio Mazón
Download or read book The Zoot-Suit Riots written by Mauricio Mazón and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1984-12 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los Angeles, the summer of 1943. For ten days in June, Anglo servicemen and civilians clashed in the streets of the city with young Mexican Americans whose fingertip coats and pegged, draped trousers announced their rebellion. At their height, the riots involved several thousand men and women, fighting with fists, rocks, sticks, and sometimes knives. In the end none were killed, few were seriously injured, and property damage was slight and yet, even today, the zoot-suit riots are remembered and hold emotional and symbolic significance for Mexican Americans and Anglos alike. The causes of the rioting were complex, as Mazón demonstrates in this illuminating analysis of their psychodynamics. Based in part on previously undisclosed FBI and military records, this engrossing study goes beyond sensational headlines and biased memories to provide an understanding of the zoot-suit riots in the context of both Mexican American and Anglo social history.
