Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the Southwest is known for its distinctive regional culture, it is not only the indigenous influences that make it so. As Anglo Americans moved into the territories of the greater Southwest, they brought with them a desire to reestablish the highest culture of their former homes: opera, painting, sculpture, architecture, and literature. But their inherited culture was altered, challenged, and reshaped by Native American and Hispanic peoples, and a new, vibrant cultural life resulted. From Houston to Los Angeles, from Tulsa to Tucson, Keith L. Bryant traces the development of "high culture" in the Southwest. Humans create culture, but in the Southwest, Bryant argues, the land itself has also influenced that creation. "Incredible light, natural grandeur, . . . and a geography at once beautiful and yet brutal molded societies that sprang from unique cultural sources." The peoples of the American Southwest share a regional consciousness—an experience of place—that has helped to create a unified, but not homogenized, Southwestern culture. Bryant also examines a paradox of Southwestern cultural life. Southwesterners take pride in their cultural distinctiveness, yet they struggled to win recognition for their achievements in "high culture." A dynamic tension between those seeking to re-create a Western European culture and those desiring one based on regional themes and resources continues to stimulate creativity. Decade by decade and city by city, Bryant charts the growth of cultural institutions and patronage as he describes the contributions of artists and performers and of the elites who support them. Bryant focuses on the significant role women played as leaders in the formation of cultural institutions and as writers, artists, and musicians. The text is enhanced by more than fifty photographs depicting the interplay between the people and the land and the culture that has resulted.

Book Synopsis The Columbia Guide to American Indians of the Southwest by : Trudy Griffin-Pierce
Download or read book The Columbia Guide to American Indians of the Southwest written by Trudy Griffin-Pierce and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-08 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major work on the history and culture of Southwest Indians, The Columbia Guide to American Indians of the Southwest tells a remarkable story of cultural continuity in the face of migration, displacement, violence, and loss. The Native peoples of the American Southwest are a unique group, for while the arrival of Europeans forced many Native Americans to leave their land behind, those who lived in the Southwest held their ground. Many still reside in their ancestral homes, and their oral histories, social practices, and material artifacts provide revelatory insight into the history of the region and the country as a whole. Trudy Griffin-Pierce incorporates her lifelong passion for the people of the Southwest, especially the Navajo, into an absorbing narrative of pre- and postcontact Native experiences. She finds that, even though the policies of the U.S. government were meant to promote assimilation, Native peoples formed their own response to outside pressures, choosing to adapt rather than submit to external change. Griffin-Pierce provides a chronology of instances that have shaped present-day conditions in the region, as well as an extensive glossary of significant people, places, and events. Setting a precedent for ethical scholarship, she describes different methods for researching the Southwest and cites sources for further archaeological and comparative study. Completing the volume is a selection of key primary documents, literary works, films, Internet resources, and contact information for each Native community, enabling a more thorough investigation into specific tribes and nations. The Columbia Guides to American Indian History and Culture also include: The Columbia Guide to American Indians of the Great Plains Loretta Fowler The Columbia Guide to American Indians of the Northeast Kathleen J. Bragdon The Columbia Guide to American Indians of the Southeast Theda Perdue and Michael D. Green
Book Synopsis The Folklore of Spain in the American Southwest by : Aurelio M. Espinosa
Download or read book The Folklore of Spain in the American Southwest written by Aurelio M. Espinosa and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The region of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado holds a unique place in the world of Spanish folk literature. Isolated from the rest of the Spanish-speaking world for most of its history since its first settlement in 1598, it has retained, even into our own time, much of its Hispanic folkloric heritage from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-ballads, songs, poems, folktales, sayings, anecdotes, proverbs, riddles, and folk drama. In this book, written in the late 1930s and never before published, Aurelio M. Espinosa, New Mexico’s pioneer folklorist, presents the first comprehensive, authoritative account of the relict folklore, bringing together the results of his collecting during the first third of this century, in the Southwest and in Spain, and his many ground-breaking scholarly studies.
Book Synopsis Hermanitos Comanchitos by : Enrique R. Lamadrid
Download or read book Hermanitos Comanchitos written by Enrique R. Lamadrid and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the great festival traditions shared by Pueblo and Hispano across New Mexico is the celebration Los Comanches. In this series of winter festivals, communities come alive with colorful processions, boisterous ceremonial dance, allegorical nativity plays, and a folk drama on horseback which portrays the 1779 defeat of famed war chief Cuerno Verde. In a mixture of defiance and emulation, these events honor the historic relations of war and peace with the Comanches, the feared and admired warriors and traders of the south plains who once held the fate of all New Mexico in their hands. Lamadrid and Gandert provide historic, poetic, and photographic documentation of one of the richest legacies of the upper Rio Grande, a cultural crossroads known for its mestizo traditions and transcultural exchanges. A CD anthology of "Comanche" music accompanies a stunning selection of Gandert's photographs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Arizona Cowboy: A Comedy Drama of the Great Southwest, in Four Acts Farley Gantt, the cowboy Sheriff, is a courageous cattle puncher in Arizona who has made himself so popular with his fellow cowboys that they elected him Sheriff. While the Sheriff has been rounding up a bunch of cattle thieves in the plains, his partner, Paul Quillian, has become infatuated with Coralie Blackshear, a stranger from Frisco. Under the evil influence of Coralie and her brother, Duke Blackshear, a polished gambler and cattle rustler, Paul begins to drink and gamble and finally loses his position as paymaster of the Double Z ranch. The scene of the play is at Purple Dog, Ariz., a crossroads village boasting several houses and a Palace Hotel. The Double Z ranch is owned by a college girl, Miss Marguerite Moore, who has a great admiration for the cowboy Sheriff. Farley returns this admiration tenfold, but the course of true love is roughened by the crooked tongue of a Navajo Indian maiden, Fawn Afraid, who is in love with the Sheriff. Farley returns from the plains and learns that Paul has lost his position. He decides to save the boy if possible, and in a strong, dramatic scene with his partner appeals to his better nature to give up the course he is pursuing and go with him out on the range. Paul refuses, being completely under the influence of Coralie and her brother, who plan to have him reinstated as paymaster of the ranch and then to steal the cowboys' pay and make a getaway to Frisco. This plan seems about to work when Yow Kee, a Chinaman employed at the Palace Hotel, overhears the scheme and informs the cowboy Sheriff. Marguerite refuses to re-employ Paul and hires Hezekiah Bugg as paymaster. Coralie and Duke, realizing that their former scheme is impossible, decide to steal the money from Bugg, which they do after wounding him. A little waif, known as Young'un, sees Coralie stab Hezekiah, and when Paul's infatuation for the woman leads him to assume her guilt, Young'un tells the truth and dramatically reveals the stolen money.
