Family music and family bands in New Mexico music. $49.99 The popularity of family bands in New Mexico music inspired the central research questions for this dissertation. Why are family bands so popular in New Mexico music? Related questions involve what family means to those involved in New Mexico music and why the family remains such a prominent social institution and identity unit for Nuevomexicanos. I consider how Nuevomexicano families, in various forms, have functioned in the past and currently as institutions that enable individual and collective success. Histories of New Mexico repeat stories of challenging living conditions that have made family connections essential to survival. Together, land, family and place make up a Nuevomexicano worldview that enables survival and guides the creation and maintenance of collective identity in the "flesh and soil" of New Mexico. I look at current genealogy practices as one expression of the land-family-place ethos to show the importance of having a well-established, traceable family in New Mexico. To Nuevomexicano genealogists, the past and present are seen as linked realities where both transgressions and successes of ancestors can directly reflect on their descendents. This identification across even distant generations lends support to the centrality of family in Nuevomexicano identity. I continue analysis of family meanings through the lives and music of three family bands: Los Blue Ventures, Los Garrapatas and Los Reyes de Albuquerque. I argue that New Mexico music operates as a sign of intergenerational family-based socializing, anchored in the Nuevomexicano cultural home of New Mexico. New Mexico music comes to signify both a family-land-place ethos and personal family relationships through ongoing performances at family-centered dances. In order to encourage multigenerational participation, New Mexico music is characterized by simplicity, recognizability, and tends toward conservation of repertoire. These qualities create an approachable and familiar |

The Natural History Of The State $30.88 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER III BIOLOGICAL DATA § 10. The Genealogy of Man Darwin traced the ancestral form of Man back through “some ancient member of the anthropomorphous sub-group” now represented by the gorilla, chimpanzee, orang and gibbon; thence to the Catarrhine or Old World division of the monkey, and thence back to the lemurs, “and these in their turn from forms standing very low in the mammalian series.” Darwin admitted the existence of a “great break in the organic chain between Man and his nearest allies, which cannot be bridged over by any extinct or living species,” but he pointed out that “in all the vertebrate classes the discovery of fossil remains has been a slow and fortuitous process” and he remarked that “those regions which are the most likely to afford remains connecting Man with some extinct apelike creature have not as yet been searched by geologists.”1 These observations gave support to the notion of the existence in the past of some form intermediate between Man and the anthropoid apes that became popularly known as “the missing link.” Expectation of the discovery of this missing link was generally entertained by the adherents of Darwinism. In Haeckel’s Evolution of Man, first published in 1874, a graphic representation of the pedigree of Man is given in which the various genera of the animal kingdom are portrayed as ramifications from a biological stem typifying the generalized type. The apex is assigned to Man, represented as one of a group of twigs sprouting from the ape stem, the cluster including the gorilla, chimpanzee, orang and gibbon.2 This concept long presided over research, with respect not only to Man but also to species in general. But as paleontological evidence accumulated it did not bear out Darwin’s anticipation of generalized types to which |

Torture and Democracy $37.5 “Darius Rejali has written a superb genealogy of modern torture. Meticulously researched and filled with surprising insights, Rejali’s indictment derives its power from thoughtful analysis and deep historical grounding. It is the best book on the subject that I have encountered. No one should debate the merits of torture without having read it.”–Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch”Darius Rejali has given the world an extraordinary work of scholarship and personal passion that no one wants to hear about but that everyone must learn about. Torture and Democracy exposes the core issues facing every nation whose deepest values of human dignity are defiled by its state-sanctioned ‘violence workers.’ Beyond platitudes, this pioneering expert descends into the torture dungeons around the world to reveal the strategies and tactics secretly used to break human will to resist. A vital book for anyone wanting to understand the whys and hows of torture being practiced today by our own government.”–Philip Zimbardo, author of The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil”Monumental. Definitive. Devastating.”–Sidney Blumenthal”Torture and Democracy brings the fact of torture straight home to democratic societies–societies that are the most reluctant to acknowledge the presence of torture in their midst. Darius Rejali’s theme is the appeal of stealth forms of torture in democracies, but he also illuminates the culture of disinformation, self-deluding euphemisms, and outright mythology that accompanies these kinds of torture. Rejali’s research has been truly formidable. He has read more widely in more disciplines than any analyst of torture that I know of.”–Edward Peters, author of Torture”This is a timely and extraordinarily important book, an unprecedented study of torture and its technologies, and of the relationship between torture and types of political systems.

¡Chicana Power!: Contested Histories of Feminism in the Chicano Movement $24.95 The first book-length study of women’s involvement in the Chicano Movement of the late 1960s and 1970s, ¡Chicana Power! tells the powerful story of the emergence of Chicana feminism within student and community-based organizations throughout southern California and the Southwest. As Chicanos engaged in widespread protest in their struggle for social justice, civil rights, and self-determination, women in el movimiento became increasingly militant about the gap between the rhetoric of equality and the organizational culture that suppressed women’s leadership and subjected women to chauvinism, discrimination, and sexual harassment. Based on rich oral histories and extensive archival research, Maylei Blackwell analyzes the struggles over gender and sexuality within the Chicano Movement and illustrates how those struggles produced new forms of racial consciousness, gender awareness, and political identities. ¡Chicana Power! provides a critical genealogy of pioneering Chicana activist and theorist Anna NietoGomez and the Hijas de Cuauhtémoc, one of the first Latina feminist organizations, who together with other Chicana activists forged an autonomous space for women’s political participation and challenged the gendered confines of Chicano nationalism in the movement and in the formation of the field of Chicana studies. She uncovers the multifaceted vision of liberation that continues to reverberate today as contemporary activists, artists, and intellectuals, both grassroots and academic, struggle for, revise, and rework the political legacy of Chicana feminism. |
