Описание: The Ohlone of the San Francisco Bay area and the Paipai of northern Baja California occupy opposite ends of the spectrum of Native Californian identities. Or so it would appear. While the Ohlone lack popular recognition and official acknowledgement from the United States government, the Paipai occupy a large reserve and celebrate their ongoing cultural traditions throughout Baja California and southern California. Yet the two groups share a similar colonial history: entanglements with early European explorers, labor and enculturation at Spanish missions, and sustained interactions with American and Mexican settler colonialism. Based on fifteen years of archaeological and historical research in the two regions, Narratives of Persistence charts the remarkable persistence of the Ohlone and Paipai alongside a synthesis of Native Californian endurance over the past five centuries. As the case studies demonstrate, Ohlone and Paipai people made intelligent and culturally appropriate choices to cope with the impact of colonialism on their communities, even as they took different pathways to the present day. Lee M. Panich illustrates how changes in Native identity and practice within these colonial contexts were made to best conduct the groups' lives within shifting sets of colonial constraints. He draws connections between the events and processes of the deeper past and the way the Ohlone and Paipai today understand their own histories and identities, offering a model for how scholars of Indigenous histories may think about the connections between the past and the present.

Описание: Luisa Murillo wants a better life. Married at fourteen and a mother of two children she birthed on the dirt floor of her husband's shack, she dreams. Luisa and her husband Juan Pedro have lived in the sleepy village of San Juanico their whole lives, in remote Baja California Sur, Mexico, a tiny corner of the world where modern life of the 1960's has yet to spread its tentacles. Their home is near the mountains and the sea, but it is far from anywhere. Juan Pedro decides to leave in search of something better in the faraway city of Insurgentes. Along with his friend Felix, Juan Pedro is drawn into the schemes of small-time local politicians and fringe drug runners, who are set on opening the Baja Peninsula for business. Although Luisa, Juan Pedro and Felix cannot know, their village is in the line of fire between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, which are bound to collide in their landscape like two runaway freight trains. In Insurgentes, crafty businessman Sammy Gonzo and tycoon Oscar Padilla are determined to build roads and airstrips, expanding the access of drug runners and entrepreneurs. Cowboys and tough-as-nails women vie for survival in the romantic Baja desert. As deals are made, the stakes rise, and the lives of everyone in San Juanico are put on the line. San Juanico follows the stories of Juan Pedro, Luisa and Felix, as well as four other central characters: Antonio Sanchez Ruis and his love interest Anna Marie, Antonio's cousin Leonardo Ruiz and his wife Carmen. In their world, prosperity exists in isolated pockets along-side of wretched human existence on the precipice of change. As the characters face the trials of their humanity, they learn to love, to grow, to accept, and to run toward their dreams. Author Guy Bonnivier lived seasonally in a lonely palapa on the Sea of Cortez for twenty years, close to the unique people and the land. He attempts to capture the essence of that time and place in this gripping tale, his debut novel.
Описание: This book examines the claim that Ensenada, Baja California Mexico is the "birthplace of Mexican democracy." Historical analyses demonstrate that democratic tendencies are deeply rooted in the past of Ensenada. From its inception Ensenada was distinct from the rest of Mexico, a distinctiveness born from the foreign influences that gave Ensenada its democratic tendencies. These democratic tendencies provided the foundations that gave rise to a peaceful democratic revolution that began first in Ensenada, then spread to Baja California, and finally to all of Mexico, when the Partido de Acci n Nacional swept the institutionalized party from power in the 2000 elections. This book examines the political changes in Ensenada across the 19th and 20th centuries, beginning with the 18th century foundations of the northern Baja California region by the missionaries, the ranching developments and filibuster movements of the 19th century (Chapter 2); the American and British colonization of the Ensenada region (Chapter 3); the autonomous developments during the Mexican Revolution (Chapter 4); the rise of the entrepreneurial class during American Prohibition (Chapter 5); the regional developments spurred by the Great Depression and World War II (Chapter 6); the heightening of local dissatisfaction during the early statehood period for Baja California (Chapter 7); and the democratic political revolution that took place in Ensenada and Baja California during the 1980's and 1990's (Chapter 8). This success in democracy with the election of Ernesto Ruffo Appel as mayor of the municipality of Ensenada in 1986 was a stepping-stone to his becoming the first opposition party governor in modern Mexico with his election in 1989. As governor Ruffo Appel instituted electoral reforms that propelled national electoral reforms which are seen by some political observers as leading to the history making election of PAN party candidate Vicente Fox as president of Mexico in 2000, ending the 71-year rule of Mexico by the PRI. This dramatic change in national politics inspired some in Ensenada to claim that their town is the "birthplace of Mexican democracy," with Ruffo Apple's election propelling the radical political changes that swept through Mexican national politics in the following decade.
