Book Synopsis Quill and Cross in the Borderlands by : Anna M. Nogar
Download or read book Quill and Cross in the Borderlands written by Anna M. Nogar and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2018-06-25 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quill and Cross in the Borderlands examines nearly four hundred years of history, folklore, literature, and art concerning the seventeenth-century Spanish nun and writer Sor María de Jesús de Ágreda, identified as the legendary “Lady in Blue” who miraculously appeared to tribes in colonial-era New Mexico and taught them the rudiments of the Catholic faith. Sor María, an author of mystical Marian works, became renowned not only for her alleged spiritual travel from her cloister in Spain to the New World, but also for her writing, studied and implemented by Franciscans on both sides of the ocean. Working from original historical accounts, archival research, and a wealth of literature on the legend and the historical figure alike, Anna M. Nogar meticulously examines how and why the legend and the person became intertwined in Catholic consciousness and social praxis. In addition to the influence of the narrative of the Lady in Blue in colonial Mexico, Nogar addresses Sor María’s importance as an author of spiritual texts that influenced many spheres of New Spanish and Spanish society. Quill and Cross in the Borderlands focuses on the reading and interpretation of her works, especially in New Spain, where they were widely printed and disseminated. Over time, in the developing folklore of the Indo-Hispano populations of the present-day U.S. Southwest and the borderlands, the historical Sor María and her writings virtually disappeared from view, and the Lady in Blue became a prominent folk figure, appearing in folk stories and popular histories. These folk accounts drew the Lady in Blue into the present day, where she appears in artwork, literature, theater, and public ritual. Nogar’s examination of these contemporary renderings leads to a reconsideration of the ambiguities that lie at the heart of the narrative. Quill and Cross in the Borderlands documents the material legacy of a legend that has survived and thrived for hundreds of years, and at the same time rediscovers the historical basis of a hidden writer. This book will interest scholars and researchers of colonial Latin American literature, early modern women writers, folklore and ethnopoetics, and Mexican American cultural studies.
Book Synopsis Ecological Borderlands by : Christina Holmes
Download or read book Ecological Borderlands written by Christina Holmes and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental practices among Mexican American woman have spurred a reconsideration of ecofeminism among Chicana feminists. Christina Holmes examines ecological themes across the arts, Chicana activism, and direct action groups to reveal how Chicanas can craft alternative models for ecofeminist processes. Holmes revisits key debates to analyze issues surrounding embodiment, women's connections to nature, and spirituality's role in ecofeminist philosophy and practice. By doing so, she challenges Chicanas to escape the narrow frameworks of the past in favor of an inclusive model of environmental feminism that alleviates Western biases. Holmes uses readings of theory, elaborations of ecological narratives in Chicana cultural productions, histories of human and environmental rights struggles in the Southwest, and a description of an activist exemplar to underscore the importance of living with decolonializing feminist commitment in body, nature, and spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jillian Guzmán, who is nine years old at the beginning of the book, communicates through drawings rather than speech as she travels with her mother, Angie O'Malley, throughout the borderlands of Arizona and northwestern Mexico. Later she creates survival maps for border crossers and paints murals at the Casa de los Olvidados, a refuge in Sonora run by the traditional healer Juana of God. These darkly funny tales, focusing on Mexican-American, Euro-American, and Mexican characters, feature visionary experiences, ghosts, faith healers, a deer's head that speaks, a dog who channels spirits of the dead--and a young woman whose drawings begin to create realities instead of just reflecting them.

Book Synopsis Borderland Experiences, Or Do the Dead Return? by : Thomas Parker Boyd
Download or read book Borderland Experiences, Or Do the Dead Return? written by Thomas Parker Boyd and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Borderland Experiences, or Do the Dead Return?: A Study of Spirit States and Activities We find in the creed the words, I believe in the com munion of Saints, but just what do we mean by it? Is it some beatific exercise of those who have passed on, or the brotherly interchange of people in the flesh? Is it some hazy and indefinite meditation by which we can hold in Imaginatlon a one-sided conversation with the Saints? Or do we mean that these Saints are living, intelligent beings who have lived on the earth as we are living, passed through its various experiences; achieved something of the Christian character, and have passed into another realm of activity; that these intelligent and good beings whom we call Saints, are still interested in those in the earth life, and act as ministering spirits to them, not only seeking to give them a spiritual atmosphere in which to live, but also to project into their mental life thoughts and messages of truth so that they may grasp and use them In a practical and helpful way? In this day when vast numbers are being hurled violently out of the flesh, and are entering the domain of that undis covered country from whose world of activity there is a tradition that no traveler has returned, the mind of human ity turns with intense scrutiny to catch some fleeting vision or to hear some footfall or sense some message which will tell them that the spiritual world is real, and that if a man dies, he lives again. The heart of humanity longs to know by reasonable assurance that love cannot cease nor life die nor identity be lost. Therefore as never before, the human mind is beating at the barriers that have so persistently shut us out from knowledge of the undiscovered country. Something within us gives strong presumptive assurance that there is a path which no fowl kn'oweth; the vulture's eye hath not seen it; the young lion hath not trodden upon it, nor the fierce lion passed it by, though it is readily con ceded that it is not perceived through the instrumentality of the five senses. In some vague way we realize that things in the spiritual realm are spiritually discerned and that the known material methods of ascertaining facts and classifying them, must be readjusted inasmuch as we have to depend upon other than material means for the ascertain ing of these facts.

Download or read book The Spirit of the Border Illustrated written by Zane Grey and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-03 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spirit of the Border is an historical novel written by Zane Grey, first published in 1906. The novel is based on events occurring in the Ohio River Valley in the late eighteenth century. It features the exploits of Lewis Wetzel, a historical personage who had dedicated his life to the destruction of Native Americans and to the protection of nascent white settlements in that region. The story deals with the attempt by Moravian Church missionaries to Christianize Indians and how two brothers' lives take different paths upon their arrival on the border. A highly romanticized account, the novel is the second in a trilogy, the first of which is Betty Zane, Grey's first published work, and The Last Trail, which focuses on the life of Jonathan Zane, Grey's ancestor.
Book Synopsis Bridging Cultures by : Harriett D. Romo
Download or read book Bridging Cultures written by Harriett D. Romo and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-16 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Borderlands: they stretch across national boundaries, and they create a unique space that extends beyond the international boundary. They extend north and south of what we think of as the actual “border,” encompassing even the urban areas of San Antonio, Texas, and Monterrey, Nueva León, Mexico, affirming shared identities and a sense of belonging far away from the geographical boundary. In Bridging Cultures: Reflections on the Heritage Identity of the Texas-Mexico Borderlands, editors Harriett Romo and William Dupont focus specifically on the lower reaches of the Rio Grande/Río Bravo as it exits the mountains and meanders across a coastal plain. Bringing together perspectives of architects, historians, anthropologists, sociologists, educators, political scientists, geographers, and creative writers who span and encompass the border, its four sections explore the historical and cultural background of the region; the built environment of the transnational border region and how border towns came to look as they do; shared systems of ideas, beliefs, values, knowledge, norms of behavior, and customs—the way of life we think of as Borderlands culture; and how border security, trade and militarization, and media depictions impact the inhabitants of the Borderlands. Romo and Dupont present the complexity of the Texas-Mexico Borderlands culture and historical heritage, exploring the tangible and intangible aspects of border culture, the meaning and legacy of the Borderlands, its influence on relationships and connections, and how to manage change in a region evolving dramatically over the past five centuries and into the future.
Book Synopsis Borderlands Curanderos by : Jennifer Koshatka Seman
Download or read book Borderlands Curanderos written by Jennifer Koshatka Seman and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Santa Teresa Urrea and Don Pedrito Jaramillo were curanderos—faith healers—who, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, worked outside the realm of "professional medicine," seemingly beyond the reach of the church, state, or certified health practitioners whose profession was still in its infancy. Urrea healed Mexicans, Indigenous people, and Anglos in northwestern Mexico and cities throughout the US Southwest, while Jaramillo conducted his healing practice in the South Texas Rio Grande Valley, healing Tejanos, Mexicans, and Indigenous people there. Jennifer Koshatka Seman takes us inside the intimate worlds of both "living saints," demonstrating how their effective healing—curanderismo—made them part of the larger turn-of-the century worlds they lived in as they attracted thousands of followers, validated folk practices, and contributed to a modernizing world along the US-Mexico border. While she healed, Urrea spoke of a Mexico in which one did not have to obey unjust laws or confess one's sins to Catholic priests. Jaramillo restored and fed drought-stricken Tejanos when the state and modern medicine could not meet their needs. Then, in 1890, Urrea was expelled from Mexico. Within a decade, Jaramillo was investigated as a fraud by the American Medical Association and the US Post Office. Borderlands Curanderos argues that it is not only state and professional institutions that build and maintain communities, nations, and national identities but also those less obviously powerful.
Book Synopsis When the Spirit Is Your Inheritance by : Jonathan Calvillo
Download or read book When the Spirit Is Your Inheritance written by Jonathan Calvillo and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2024-11-12 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pentecostalism, one of the fastest growing global religious movements, counts Latine people among its earliest adopters. Drawing on US-based and migrant traditions, Latine Pentecostals today continue to reinvent themselves in creative and adaptive ways. While Pentecostalism initially drew attention for its ecstatic practices, participants maintain a spirituality of deep interiority that has sustained Latine Pentecostals in the borderlands for generations. When the Spirit Is Your Inheritance explores Latino Pentecostalism from an intergenerational, insider perspective. As a sociologist born and raised in Latino Pentecostalism, Jonathan Calvillo curates an autoethnographic journey through the converging sociocultural streams shaping his Latino Pentecostal lifeworlds. Focusing on lived religious practices, sociological perspectives, and grounded theological reflection, Calvillo paints a critical and caring picture of Latino Pentecostalism. Through snapshots of Pentecostal belonging in social and geographic borderlands, the book addresses issues of migration, Latinidad, race, and social justice. Ultimately, Calvillo considers what the empathetic Spirit-centric practices he has observed within Pentecostalism might teach others.

It opens with two introductory studies; offers a corrected text, explanatory footnotes, translations, and four archival appendices; and closes with an updated bibliography of Anzaldúa's works, an extensive scholarly bibliography on Borderlands, a brief biography, and a short discussion of the Gloria E. Anzaldúa Papers. "Ricardo F. Vivancos-Pèrez's meticulous archival work and Norma Elia Cantú's life experience and expertise converge to offer a stunning resource for Anzaldúa scholars; for writers, artists, and activists inspired by her work; and for everyone.
