Book Synopsis Imagine a City That Remembers by : Anthony Anella
Download or read book Imagine a City That Remembers written by Anthony Anella and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine a City That Remembers grew out of a series of articles and photographs published in the Albuquerque Tribune in 1998 and 1999. This expanded and updated collection revisits Albuquerque nearly twenty years after the original articles were written. It juxtaposes historic and contemporary photographs of Albuquerque to show diverse moments in the city’s history and development. The authors, ardent defenders of the vitality of Albuquerque’s past, contend that the city is still small enough to be in touch with its history and argue that what makes Albuquerque a great place is the continued presence of its strong traditions. They further believe that preserving Albuquerque’s natural and cultural heritage is critical to the city’s future. Throughout, both express a deep understanding for this complicated, beautiful, and often misunderstood place.

Book Synopsis Atrisco to Zena Lona by : Judy Nickell
Download or read book Atrisco to Zena Lona written by Judy Nickell and published by . This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Want to know something about the story behind Albuquerque's street names- Who are they named for and why? How do you pronounce the names? What do they mean? What's the largest street name in Albuquerque's history? Many people were interviewed for this book; research began when the author was a columnist for a local newspaper. People would call to ask for the origin of one street name or another. This provided the germ for this book. Research continued with further interviews of developers and others responsible for naming streets. In addition to stories of street names, the book lists certain categories of street names, such as animals, birds and flowers. There is a concise explanation and pronunciation of Spanish names. This "snappy survey of selected Albuquerque street names" is not a doctoral dissertation, but rather fun reading for anyone living in or visiting New Mexico's biggest city. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Judy Nickell, a professional writer, began her career as a reporter for the Albuquerque Tribune. There she covered a variety of beats. She wrote the Q&A column from the 1970s through the 1980s, where this book originated. She also wrote a garden column. She is a Master Gardener and a Certified Arborist. Her book, Enchanted Gardening, is out of print. Bilingual from childhood, Judy is often bothered by improper use of Spanish on street names.
Book Synopsis How the World Moves by : Peter Nabokov
Download or read book How the World Moves written by Peter Nabokov and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling portrait of cultural transition and assimilation via the saga of one Acoma Pueblo Indian family Born in 1861 in New Mexico’s Acoma Pueblo, Edward Proctor Hunt lived a tribal life almost unchanged for centuries. But after attending government schools he broke with his people’s ancient codes to become a shopkeeper and controversial broker between Indian and white worlds. As a Wild West Show Indian he travelled in Europe with his family, and saw his sons become silversmiths, painters, and consultants on Indian Lore. In 1928, in a life-culminating experience, he recited his version of the origin myth of Acoma Pueblo to Smithsonian Institution scholars. Nabokov narrates the fascinating story of Hunt’s life within a multicultural and historical context. Chronicling Pueblo Indian life and Anglo/Indian relations over the last century and a half, he explores how this entrepreneurial family capitalized on the nation’s passion for Indian culture. In this rich book, Nabokov dramatizes how the Hunts, like immigrants throughout history, faced anguishing decisions over staying put or striking out for economic independence, and experienced the pivotal passage from tradition to modernity.
