Book excerpt: In this powerfully eerie tale by Lucinda Ciddio Leyba, the legend of La Llorona is recast as the tale of a witch intent on doing evil in modern Santa Fe. By the light of the full moon, La Llorona is released from her earthly tomb. Cursed with the memories of her past, she becomes obsessed with reclaiming what was taken from her and preys on Santa Fe's innocent citizens. One of the unwittingly haunted is Christina, a young mother caught up in the ancient tradition of curanderas and witches. As she slips dangerously into the dark recesses of La Llorona's twisted mind, Christina becomes desperate to protect her own children from the terrifying madness, and must find a way to stop the evil that possesses her before she loses her sanity and everything she holds dear.

"Let ́s get out of here, he is so full of himself..." While somewhere else under a mystery moon, two archeologists, Dr.Cruz Garza and his assistant López, are on the verge of making a discovery of the century... Aztlan! When suddenly inside the ancient ruins a stone falls, hissing vapor erupts out of cracks. A freaky wailing sound is heard. Walls break open and a ghostly steam comes out in mass. Garza and López fall back. The curse! Meanwhile Leo picks up a girl coming out of church as he cruises slow and steady in his lowrider car. He doesn't know it but she passed away some time back! And she happens to be Lisa's dead aunt! Of all the scary stories in the Mexican American, Hispanic, Latino, tradition and folklore, none hold greater sway in our imagination than the legend of la LLorona, from pre-Colombian Meso-American times to the 21st. Century. No native American apparition, spirit, ghost, witch, or twice told tales have ever haunted our psyche, identity and culture as persistently as the 500 year old story of la LLorona, a spirit that refuses to die. This is a modern urban legend crystallized 500 years ago. While the Spaniards will eventually destroy the Aztec Capital, Tenochtitlan, a cardinal at the Vatican addresses Pope Alexander VI, in 1493, for his death knell Papal bull, the "discovery doctrine," and the arrival of the sword and the cross in the Americas. Cardinal: "I await your decree, your holiness."While not spoiling things for you, we will only say that there is a native woman burned alive at the stake, cursed by the high priest of the catholic church, and that ghosts and evil death haunt this story. This legend comes from the pivotal heart of centuries of conflicts where unburied bones cry out for justice, especially in the river borderlands. "Ayyy mis hijoos..." (Oh my children!) This is a creepy ghost adventure. La LLorona ! Everybody knows her name. But do you know the truth? "Ayyy Miss Hijooos!"
Download or read book La Llorona written by Nephtalí de León and published by Universitat de València. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nephtalí De León is a USA born and raised Chicano former migrant worker that became a Poet/Painter/Author/and Playwright. He has been published in several countries with his poetry translated into twelve languages. Growing up in the cauldron of borderland conflicts between USA and Mexico, by the edge of the river that divides both countries, the Rio Grande, he is no stranger to the myths, legends, and stories that form the world view of his multicultural native people. Present day native American migrants have been labeled and treated as strangers in their ancient homelands. Those who appropriated their lands now call them illegals, undocumented invaders. They administer their presence with such legal definitions in the courts of their own invention. It is in this arena that the author presents a timeless legend of a tortured and maligned spirit that refuses to die. The legend of La Llorona begins 500 years ago when invaders first came to the American continent. Reality went beyond surreal, and the Victim became the Culprit, was punished and condemned to wander unto eternity in hopeless pain for her crime, the worst any one can be accused of – the drowning of her own children! This centuries old legend is very much alive. Everybody knows her name – La Llorona.

Book Synopsis There Was a Woman by : Domino Renee Perez
Download or read book There Was a Woman written by Domino Renee Perez and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2008-07-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How is it that there are so many lloronas?" A haunting figure of Mexican oral and literary traditions, La Llorona permeates the consciousness of her folk community. From a ghost who haunts the riverbank to a murderous mother condemned to wander the earth after killing her own children in an act of revenge or grief, the Weeping Woman has evolved within Chican@ imaginations across centuries, yet no truly comprehensive examination of her impact existed until now. Tracing La Llorona from ancient oral tradition to her appearance in contemporary material culture, There Was a Woman delves into the intriguing transformations of this provocative icon. From La Llorona's roots in legend to the revisions of her story and her exaltation as a symbol of resistance, Domino Renee Perez illuminates her many permutations as seductress, hag, demon, or pitiful woman. Perez draws on more than two hundred artifacts to provide vivid representations of the ways in which these perceived identities are woven from abstract notions—such as morality or nationalism—and from concrete, often misunderstood concepts from advertising to television and literature. The result is a rich and intricate survey of a powerful figure who continues to be reconfigured.
