Book Synopsis Reckoning with Change in Yucatán by : Jason Ramsey
Download or read book Reckoning with Change in Yucatán written by Jason Ramsey and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reckoning with Change in Yucatán engages with how best to look upon and respond to change, arguing that this debate is an important arena for negotiating local belonging and a force of transformation in its own right. For residents of Chunchucmil, a historic rural community in Yucatán, Mexico, history is anything but straightforward. Living in what is both a defunct 19th-century hacienda estate and a vibrant Catholic pilgrimage site, Chunchucmileños reckon past, present, and future in radically different ways. For example, while some use the aging estate buildings to weave a history of economic decline and push for revitalization by hotel developers, others highlight the growing fame of the Virgin of the Rosary in the attached church and vow to defend the site from developer interference. By exploring how past and future are channeled through changing built environments, landscapes, sacred relics, and legal documents, this ethnographic study details how the politics of change provide Chunchucmileños with a common language for debating commitments to place and each another in the present. Against Western notions of ‘History’ as a relatively coherent account of change, the book suggests we reframe it as an ongoing performance that is always fractured, democratic, and morally tinged.

Book excerpt: Cherokee Jones isn't a big fan of college student and horseman extraordinaire Matt Tucker, but since they work on the same ranch this summer, he’s stuck with him. But maybe it’s not Matt Kee doesn't like; maybe it’s that Matt reminds him of the reason he’s living in a cabin at the corner of a horse ranch all alone, and he doesn't need any more reminders of his mistakes and secrets. When he’s hurt at work, he finds himself kidnapped into Matt’s life, which is filled with people and chaos and everything Kee is running from. Between Matt’s over-the-top care, Matt’s roommates’ scary insights, and the clueless college girl who keeps showing up at the farm and sharing her secrets, Kee feels trapped. The more he pushes them all away, the more tangled he gets in their lives, and that just leads to humiliation and anger. But it looks like God might want something from Kee, and if God is after him, there’s really no place he can hide.

But he isn't sure he can keep it, because Stephen has a secret, one that might cause his friends to walk away if he can't hide it, and he's pretty sure he can't hide it forever. Meanwhile, he attracts trouble at work; he can't figure out Amy, who has secrets of her own and won't let him into her life; and his past comes to call. That one hurts most of all, realizing he can't make a clean break from his old life. Instead, to protect everyone he cares about, he might have to leave his new life behind and go it alone.

Download or read book Yucatán written by David Sterling and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-03-30 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, James Beard Foundation Best Cookbook of the Year Award, 2015 James Beard Foundation Best International Cookbook Award, 2015 The Art of Eating Prize for Best Food Book of the Year, 2015 The Yucatán Peninsula is home to one of the world's great regional cuisines. With a foundation of native Maya dishes made from fresh local ingredients, it shares much of the same pantry of ingredients and many culinary practices with the rest of Mexico. Yet, due to its isolated peninsular location, it was also in a unique position to absorb the foods and flavors of such far-flung regions as Spain and Portugal, France, Holland, Lebanon and the Levant, Cuba and the Caribbean, and Africa. In recent years, gourmet magazines and celebrity chefs have popularized certain Yucatecan dishes and ingredients, such as Sopa de lima and achiote, and global gastronomes have made the pilgrimage to Yucatán to tantalize their taste buds with smoky pit barbecues, citrus-based pickles, and fiery chiles. But until now, the full depth and richness of this cuisine has remained little understood beyond Yucatán's borders. An internationally recognized authority on Yucatecan cuisine, chef David Sterling takes you on a gastronomic tour of the peninsula in this unique cookbook, Yucatán: Recipes from a Culinary Expedition. Presenting the food in the places where it's savored, Sterling begins in jungle towns where Mayas concoct age-old recipes with a few simple ingredients they grow themselves. He travels over a thousand miles along the broad Yucatán coast to sample a bounty of seafood; shares "the people's food"at bakeries, chicharronerías, street vendors, home restaurants, and cantinas; and highlights the cooking of the peninsula's three largest cities—Campeche, Mérida, and Valladolid—as well as a variety of pueblos noted for signature dishes. Throughout the journey, Sterling serves up over 275 authentic, thoroughly tested recipes that will appeal to both novice and professional cooks. He also discusses pantry staples and basic cooking techniques and offers substitutions for local ingredients that may be hard to find elsewhere. Profusely illustrated and spiced with lively stories of the region's people and places, Yucatán: Recipes from a Culinary Expedition is the long-awaited definitive work on this distinctive cuisine.

Book excerpt: For generations two peoples have fought over the mountains of Thanador. The native Tarra'ans hate the recent arrivals, the Contolte, and eventually that hatred turns to war. Yaotl and Jensen, though, are a Tarra'an and a Contolte who live as brothers. Yearning to stay together, they find no safe place where both can be welcomed. Frorn across the great water, Nadia is a missioner from a clinic who is able to walk outside the battle. When her path crosses that of the two men, one of them is injured, and they decide to escape down the burning, warring mountain together. She leads them to a Tarra'an village that claims to love TrueGod and promises to protect both the men, but some hatred takes time to fade, and before long staying in the village is almost as dangerous to the trio as setting off alone. But they also find allies and friends, even forbidden romance, and when the evil of the war threatens to destroy the whole mountain, love and friendship may be the only things to save any of them, Tarra'an and Contolte alike. Visit a new land in this installment of the Tales of Balia, the Christian historical fantasy/romance series that takes readers across lush landscapes and into rich cultures as the deity TrueGod seeks lost and broken people, healing hearts and lives while he calls them home.

Book Synopsis Foodscapes, Foodfields, and Identities in Yucatán by : Steffan Igor Ayora Díaz
Download or read book Foodscapes, Foodfields, and Identities in Yucatán written by Steffan Igor Ayora Díaz and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The state of Yucatán has its own distinct culinary tradition, and local people are constantly thinking and talking about food. They use it as a vehicle for social relations but also to distinguish themselves from "Mexicans." This book examines the politics surrounding regional cuisine, as the author argues that Yucatecan gastronomy has been created and promoted in an effort to affirm the identity of a regional people and to oppose the hegemonic force of central Mexican cultural icons and forms. In particular, Yucatecan gastronomy counters the homogenizing drive of a national cuisine based on dominant central Mexican appetencies and defies the image of Mexican national cuisine as rooted in indigenous traditions. Drawing on post-structural and postcolonial theory, the author proposes that Yucatecan gastronomy - having successfully gained a reputation as distinct and distant from 'Mexican' cuisine - is a bifurcation from regional culinary practices. However, the author warns, this leads to a double, paradoxical situation that divides the nation: while a national cuisine attempts to silence regional cultural diversity, the fissures in the project of a homogeneous regional identity are revealed.
