164. Brandes, Staying Sober In Mexico City, University Of Texas Press Brief description of a book by anthropologist Stanley Brandes studies the growth of Alcoholics Anonymous in mexico and how it has adapted to the culture. http://www.utexas.edu/utpress/books/brasta.html

Skip navigation Advanced Search Search 6 x 9 in. 259 pp., 2 tables ISBN 0-292-70905-6 $45.00, hardcover, no dust jacket Web Special: $30.15 ISBN 0-292-70908-0 $19.95, paperback Web Special: $13.37 Staying Sober in Mexico City Table of Contents and Excerpt By Stanley Brandes "This is an impeccably crafted work by one of the most widely respected anthropologists of his generation.... I am quite confident that it will become not only the standard reference on the cultural study of alcoholism in Mexico, but also one of the very best overall social science contributions to the study of Mexican culture produced in the last fifty years." Staying sober is a daily struggle for many men living in Mexico City, one of the world's largest, grittiest urban centers. In this engaging study, Stanley Brandes focuses on a common therapeutic response to alcoholism, Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.), which boasts an enormous following throughout Mexico and much of Latin America. Over several years, Brandes observed and participated in an all-men's chapter of A.A. located in a working class district of Mexico City. Employing richly textured ethnography, he analyzes the group's social dynamics, therapeutic effectiveness, and ritual and spiritual life. Brandes demonstrates how recovering alcoholics in Mexico redefine gender roles in order to preserve masculine identity. He also explains how an organization rooted historically in evangelical Protestantism has been able to flourish in Roman Catholic Latin America.

The Beginnings Colonial México Independent México The Mexican Revolution ... Arts and Traditions The beginnings There is evidence of human existence in México since 20,000 years BC. In Tepéxpan to the North of the Valley of México, the remains of a human corpse were found beside those of a mammoth. Using the Carbon 14 test, these remains were dated at approximately 10,000 years BC. Agriculture began to manifest itself from the year 3,000 BC. The American continent was isolated during many centuries, which explains the originality of its civilisation. Northern México was populated by peoples who lived from hunting and collecting in a desert or semi-desert geographical environment. The South was populated by agricultural societies. Eventhough in the vast Mesoamerica region (a term used by scholars to designate peoples which occupied the central area of México down to Guatemala and Honduras to the South), many different peoples with their own ethnic and linguistic differences coexisted, they had a cultural homogeneity, for instance they cultivated corn, they have a singular structure of government, they used the 365 day calendar, they built pyramids, they used similar rituals and worshiped the same gods and goddesses of the sky, of nature, of fertility and of war. The same concept of cosmic duality - the beginning and the end - appears in the religion and art of all Mesoamerican cultures. The most evident example of this cosmic duality is the god Quetzalcoatl (or Kukulkán in the Mayan area) which is represented by a feathered serpent (earth and sky).

Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute Home Mexican Culture Taught Through the Aztec Calendar by Harriet J. Bauman Contents of Curriculum Unit 85.06.02: Narrative Objectives Legends Contained In The Symbols Of The Aztec Calendar Stone A Possible Lesson ... To Guide Entry It was dark, a dark night of nemontemi (the five useless days) at the end of the fiftysecond year. There were no stars in the sky. No fires were visible anywhere, not even on the temple altar where a fire had been burning continuously for fiftytwo years. There was silence everywhere. The whole earth was waiting. Through the darkness, priests dressed as the different gods and goddesses climbed up Huixachtecatl (the Hill of the Star), an extinct volcanic crater visible throughout the Valley of Mexico. On the summit of Huixachtecatl rested a temple. Once the priests reached the temple, they anxiously studied the sky as the stars appeared. Finally, Aldebaran or the Pleiades appeared in the center of the sky. This was the sign they had been waiting for: the sign that the world, as they knew it, would continue for another fifty two years. At this exact moment, the priests turned to the sacrificial stone on the altar where a prisoner of war was stretched out with his chest arched in the air. With an obsidian knife, they slit open his chest, and pulled out his heart (which might be used later in another religious rite). They lit a torch, and placed it in his chest as a signal to all that life was reborn. Runners came from everywhere to light their torches from the sacrificial torch. They then ran throughout the country lighting fires in the hearths of houses, and on the temple altars of every town.

How to tell if you're Mexican by Acoyani Garrido Sandoval Time for another of our culture tests from around the world . The author is a student at the Instituto de Ciencias in Guadalajara "the city of mariachi, tequila, and the charro outfit." The test focusses on urban rather than rural Mexican culture. Mark If you're Mexican... You trust deep down in the Virgen de Guadalupe, the patron saint of Mexico City and perhaps of all Mexico. You know by heart how soccer ( in Mexico) is played. If you're a man, you often have deep knowledge of soccer; if you're woman, you don't know anything about it. People who care about American football ( ), basketball or baseball are somewhat rare, but exist! You have lots of vacations: Semana Santa vacations (the Easter Week plus the week before), Christmas vacations (2 1/2 weeks) and summer vacations (1 1/2 month). You spend your Semana Santa vacations at the beach, your Christmas vacations with your family, and your summer vacations anywhere. You're extremely likely to believe in God; if you don't, most often you're Jewish. Only northerners and a few others believe in Santa Claus; you most often believe in the

www.alamosmexico.com/casafelix Nature, Spanish history and native culture take center-stage in Mexico's Sonora state. Sonora. Most people enter this second largest state in Mexico through Nogales, a short drive due south of Tucson, Arizona. That's exactly what I did on a six-day Sonora Natural History Tour offered by Arizona Coach Tours (ACT) of Tucson. My 23 traveling companions were a stimulating and altogether-too-clever Elderhostel group, many of whom already had between 10 and 40 previous educational vacation programs under their belts. These 60 to 89 year olds had got way ahead of me in the curriculum by spending two days in Nogales boning up on Sonora's history, culture and natural assets as well as acquiring a bit of Spanish. Map courtesy of AlamosMexico.com As we headed south with ACT owner, Steve Bernier, at the wheel, and veteran guide and naturalist, Robin Baxter, at the microphone, Robin further fed the knowledge base with a blizzard of handouts and a rich personal background in the region's natural and cultural history. Homework became the order of the day! Pelicans wait for handouts from Mayo fishermen whose tribe controls a nature-rich marine estuary in southern Sonora.

180. Tlahuica Culture Home Page Michael E. Smith, Professor of Anthropology, University at Albany, provides archaeological and historical information on an Aztec ethnic group from Morelos, mexico. http://www.albany.edu/~mesmith/tlahuica.html

Tlahuica Cultures of Morelos by Dr. Michael E. Smith Professor of Anthropology, University at Albany, State University of New York W elcome to the Tlahuica Culture home page. The Tlahuica were one of the Aztec peoples of central Mexico at the time of the Spanish conquest (AD 1521). The Tlahuica lived in the area that is now the state of Morelos. Their largest city, Cuauhnahuac, was renamed Cuernavaca by the Spaniards (who could not pronounce the original Nahuatl name). B ecause history is written by the victors, most surviving historical documents on the Aztecs describe the Mexica of the Valley of Mexico who conquered the Tlahuica and other groups. On the other hand, archaeological sites of the Tlahuica have fared better over the centuries than those of the Mexica, largely because Morelos is less heavily populated (and less urbanized and industrialized) than the Valley of Mexico. For this reason, archaeologists are finding that Tlahuica sites in Morelos provide some of the best evidence for Aztec life and culture. T his web site and associated links a provide information on the little-known Tlahuica culture of Morelos. Many of the links point to current and recent research carried out by Dr. Michael E. Smith and his students at the University at Albany (State University of New York).
