Book Synopsis Indigenous Borderlands by : Joaquín Rivaya-Martínez
Download or read book Indigenous Borderlands written by Joaquín Rivaya-Martínez and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2023-04-20 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pervasive myths of European domination and indigenous submission in the Americas receive an overdue corrective in this far-reaching revisionary work. Despite initial upheavals caused by the European intrusion, Native people often thrived after contact, preserving their sovereignty, territory, and culture and shaping indigenous borderlands across the hemisphere. Borderlands, in this context, are spaces where diverse populations interact, cross-cultural exchanges are frequent and consequential, and no polity or community holds dominion. Within the indigenous borderlands of the Americas, as this volume shows, Native peoples exercised considerable power, often retaining control of the land, and remaining paramount agents of historical transformation after the European incursion. Conversely, European conquest and colonialism were typically slow and incomplete, as the newcomers struggled to assert their authority and implement policies designed to subjugate Native societies and change their beliefs and practices. Indigenous Borderlands covers a wide chronological and geographical span, from the sixteenth-century U.S. South to twentieth-century Bolivia, and gathers leading scholars from the United States and Latin America. Drawing on previously untapped or underutilized primary sources, the original essays in this volume document the resilience and relative success of indigenous communities commonly and wrongly thought to have been subordinated by colonial forces, or even vanished, as well as the persistence of indigenous borderlands within territories claimed by people of European descent. Indeed, numerous indigenous groups remain culturally distinct and politically autonomous. Hemispheric in its scope, unique in its approach, this work significantly recasts our understanding of the important roles played by Native agents in constructing indigenous borderlands in the era of European imperialism. Chapters 5, 6, 8, and 9 are published with generous support from the Americas Research Network.

Book Synopsis The World Atlas of Language Structures by : Martin Haspelmath
Download or read book The World Atlas of Language Structures written by Martin Haspelmath and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-07-21 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Atlas of Language Structures is a book and CD combination displaying the structural properties of the world's languages. 142 world maps and numerous regional maps - all in colour - display the geographical distribution of features of pronunciation and grammar, such as number of vowels, tone systems, gender, plurals, tense, word order, and body part terminology. Each world map shows an average of 400 languages and is accompanied by a fully referenced description of the structural feature in question. The CD provides an interactive electronic version of the database which allows the reader to zoom in on or customize the maps, to display bibliographical sources, and to establish correlations between features. The book and the CD together provide an indispensable source of information for linguists and others seeking to understand human languages. The Atlas will be especially valuable for linguistic typologists, grammatical theorists, historical and comparative linguists, and for those studying a region such as Africa, Southeast Asia, North America, Australia, and Europe. It will also interest anthropologists and geographers. More than fifty authors from many different countries have collaborated to produce a work that sets new standards in comparative linguistics. No institution involved in language research can afford to be without it.
Book Synopsis Abiayalan Pluriverses by : Gloria Chacón
Download or read book Abiayalan Pluriverses written by Gloria Chacón and published by Amherst College Press. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abiayalan Pluriverses: Bridging Indigenous Studies and Hispanic Studies looks for pathways that better connect two often siloed disciplines. This edited collection brings together different disciplinary experiences and perspectives to this objective, weaving together researchers, artists, instructors, and authors who have found ways of bridging Indigenous and Hispanic studies through trans-Indigenous reading methods, intercultural dialogues, and reflections on translation and epistemology. Each chapter brings rich context that bears on some aspect of the Indigenous Americas and its crossroads with Hispanic studies, from Canada to Chile. Such a hemispheric and interdisciplinary approach offers innovative and significant means of challenging the coloniality of Hispanic studies.
Book Synopsis Words of the True Peoples/Palabras de los Seres Verdaderos by : Carlos Montemayor
Download or read book Words of the True Peoples/Palabras de los Seres Verdaderos written by Carlos Montemayor and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-07-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the larger, ongoing movement throughout Latin America to reclaim non-Hispanic cultural heritages and identities, indigenous writers in Mexico are reappropriating the written word in their ancestral tongues and in Spanish. As a result, the long-marginalized, innermost feelings, needs, and worldviews of Mexico's ten to twenty million indigenous peoples are now being widely revealed to the Western societies with which these peoples coexist. To contribute to this process and serve as a bridge of intercultural communication and understanding, this groundbreaking, three-volume anthology gathers works by the leading generation of writers in thirteen Mexican indigenous languages: Nahuatl, Maya, Tzotzil, Tzeltal, Tojolabal, Tabasco Chontal, Purepecha, Sierra Zapoteco, Isthmus Zapoteco, Mazateco, Ñahñu, Totonaco, and Huichol. Volume 1 contains narratives and essays by Mexican indigenous writers. Their texts appear first in their native language, followed by English and Spanish translations. Frischmann and Montemayor have abundantly annotated the English, Spanish, and indigenous-language texts and added glossaries and essays that trace the development of indigenous texts, literacy, and writing. These supporting materials make the anthology especially accessible and interesting for nonspecialist readers seeking a greater understanding of Mexico's indigenous peoples. The other volumes of this work will be Volume 2: Poetry/Poesía and Volume 3: Theater/Teatro.

Book Synopsis La transmisión de conceptos cristianos a las lenguas amerindias by : Sabine Dedenbach-Salazar Sáenz
Download or read book La transmisión de conceptos cristianos a las lenguas amerindias written by Sabine Dedenbach-Salazar Sáenz and published by Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2016 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las contribuciones a este libro se centran en las estrategias y los metodos linguisticos interculturales usados por los misioneros coloniales de la America Latina. Su objetivo principal fue una traduccion eficiente de los conceptos cristianos a textos amerindios y sus contextos indigenas para que sus destinatarios nativos lograran una mejor comprension de la nueva religion y abandonaran la suya. Para esto, los misioneros linguistas aprendieron las lenguas autoctonas y el resultado fue la creacion de obras linguisticas (diccionarios y gramaticas) asi como tambien textos para la instruccion religiosa cristiana (doctrinas, sermones etc.). Asimismo tomaron en cuenta teorias de lexicografia y traduccion, y tambien recurrieron a generos textuales nativos y europeos. Los aportes aqui reunidos constituyen una mirada comparativa a traves de Latinoamerica dentro de un marco amplio de disciplinas (como son la historia, la sociolinguistica, la antropologia etc.), estudiando las lenguas nahuatl, tarasco, maya, quechua, tupi, guarani y chiquitano. Al analizar los diferentes acercamientos a la traduccion, los autores llegan a resultados matizados en cuanto a los metodos misioneros, como eran prestamos y traducciones palabra- por-palabra, pero sobre todo la (re-)creacion de nuevos terminos y expresiones en la lengua ajena, frecuentemente basados en lo que se suponia que eran conceptos semanticos y gramaticales nativos. Aparte de una aparente confusion de los indigenas, en los articulos se observa la integracion del cristianismo en las culturas nativas, en la mayoria de los casos en la forma de una 'nativizacion' de la religion europea.

Book Synopsis Bibliografía cronológica de la lingüística, la gramática y la lexicografía del español (BICRES V) by : Miguel Ángel Esparza Torres
Download or read book Bibliografía cronológica de la lingüística, la gramática y la lexicografía del español (BICRES V) written by Miguel Ángel Esparza Torres and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 964 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of the still very valuable Biblioteca histórica de la filología by Cipriano Muñoz y Manzano, conde de la Viñaza (Madrid, 1893), our knowledge of the history of the study of the Spanish language has grown considerably, and most manuscript and secondary sources had never been tapped before Hans-Josef Niederehe of the University of Trier courageously undertook the task to bring together any available bibliographical information together with much more recent research findings, scattered in libraries, journals and other places. The resulting Bibliografía cronológica de la lingüística, la gramática y la lexicografía del español: Desde los principios hasta el año 1600 (BICRES) began appearing in 1994. BICRES I covered the period from the early beginnings to 1600), followed by BICRES II (1601–1700), BICRES III (1701–1800), and together with Miguel Ángel Esparza Torres of Madrid there followed BICRES IV (1801 to 1860). Now, the fifth volume, has become available, covering the years from 1861 to 1899. Access to the bibliographical information of altogether 5,272 titles is facilitated by several detailed indexes, such as a short title index, a listing of printers, publishers and places of production, and an author index. More than twenty years of research in the major libraries of Spain and other European countries have gone into this unique work — relative sources of the Americas have also been covered — making it exhaustive source for any serious scholar of any possible aspect of the Spanish language.

Book Synopsis Telling and Being Told by : Paul M. Worley
Download or read book Telling and Being Told written by Paul M. Worley and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through performance and the spoken word, Yucatec Maya storytellers have maintained the vitality of their literary traditions for more than five hundred years. Telling and Being Told presents the figure of the storyteller as a symbol of indigenous cultural control in contemporary Yucatec Maya literatures. Analyzing the storyteller as the embodiment of indigenous knowledge in written and oral texts, this book highlights how Yucatec Maya literatures play a vital role in imaginings of Maya culture and its relationships with Mexican and global cultures. Through performance, storytellers place the past in dynamic relationship with the present, each continually evolving as it is reevaluated and reinterpreted. Yet non-indigenous actors often manipulate the storyteller in their firsthand accounts of the indigenous world. Moreover, by limiting the field of literary study to written texts, Worley argues, critics frequently ignore an important component of Latin America’s history of conquest and colonization: The fact that Europeans consciously set out to destroy indigenous writing systems, making orality a key means of indigenous resistance and cultural continuity. Given these historical factors, outsiders must approach Yucatec Maya and other indigenous literatures on their own terms rather than applying Western models. Although oral literature has been excluded from many literary studies, Worley persuasively demonstrates that it must be included in contemporary analyses of indigenous literatures as oral texts form a key component of contemporary indigenous literatures, and storytellers and storytelling remain vibrant cultural forces in both Yucatec communities and contemporary Yucatec writing.
