    Extractions: Intensive Summer Language and Cultural Course Sponsored by Tulane University and the University of Texas at Austin Kaqchikel, one of the principal Mayan languages, is spoken by more than a half-million people in highland Guatemala. Its long literate tradition, including texts from the XVI century, continues today as literary and pedagogical works in the modern language are published in ever-growing numbers. Tulane University is offering for the fourteenth year an intensive six-week course in this vital language and its culture. The summer school begins in beautiful colonial Antigua Guatemala, with frequent trips to nearby towns. Daily instruction includes small and large group language learning with Kaqchikel instructors, grammar analysis from linguists, and cultural orientation with guest speakers from surrounding communities. Later weeks are spent in Kaqchikel communities, such as Tecpán and Panajachel. This course is envisioned as a shared learning experience between students and teachers. The following courses will be offered for credit: beginning Kaqchikel language, beginning Kaqchikel culture, intermediate Kaqchikel language, intermediate Kaqchikel culture, advanced Kaqchikel language and advanced Kaqchikel culture.

    Extractions: WHERE THESE STORIES COME FROM These animal stories are from Tales and Legends of the Q'anjob'al Maya There may be as many as 10,000 Q'anjob'al Maya, descendants of those who built the greatest ancient civilization of Central America, scattered throughout the United States and Canada, especially in Southern California and Florida, refugees from the terror in Guatemala. who is a principal figure in Yax:Te' Press says: "I collected these tales from my friend don Pedro Miguel Say, a Q'anjob'al Maya from Guatemala, who presently resides in Los Angeles. You might say he's an elder, although we are the same age, 70. Young people simply do not know the stories, or at least are not able to tell them. I translated the tales from Q'anjob'al Maya into Spanish and English. A trilingual edition of the tales was first published by the Mayan self-help organization IXIM in Los Angeles, but this volume has long been out of print. I am now planning to get out a bilingual (Q'anjob'al-Spanish) edition for distribution primarily in Guatemala and in the refugee camps in Mexico, and have several other such collections in the works.

    Extractions: In A Culture of Violence by Ana Simo OCTOBER 23, 2000 The metaphorical punishment of the presumably genocidal general with anal sex translates into very real violence against anyone perceived as queer. This summer, in two separate incidents, two male "transvestite" sex workers, Astrid La Fontaine and Beverly Lineth, were murdered in front of witnesses. The Guatemalan police, which routinely terrorizes "transvestite" sex workers, is not interested in investigating the murders. In Guatemala, as elsewhere in Central America, male "transvestite" prostitution is huge, often a consequence of the prostitute's abject poverty and homo-shame, and the john's rabid homophobia. Males who foam at the mouth when asked if they're gay, nevertheless think it's okay to have sex with a male cross-dresser or a transgender woman: after all, only the "receiver" is a dirty homo.

The slab, which shows Cancuen’s King Taj Chan Ahk extending his power by installing a subordinate king in the nearby city of Machaquila, “is one of the greatest masterpieces of Maya art ever discovered in Guatemala,” according to epigrapher Federico Fahsen. “The images of the rulers and the historical text are deeply and finely carved in high relief and miraculously preserved.”

    Extractions: With the 1996 Peace Accords, the Mayan culture was, for the first time, given the space and opportunity to outwardly express itself. Since then, Ak' Tenamit and the local communities have emphasized the culture as the axis for the development process in the region, recognizing that an accepted and sustainable development can only take place within the cultural frames of the Q'eqchi' people. At Ak' Tenamit, an experienced Mayan priest works full-time directing activities such as spiritual reflections and cultural workshops, organizing services and supporting both the students and the adults in their understanding of the culture. Community ceremonies with candles and incense take place on religious days of the Mayan calendar (which also work as the guiding calendar within the project). Based on the lunar cycle, it dictates planting and harvesting times, and special activities. An elevated sacred ceremonial site has been consecrated and will serve as the first Mayan Temple built by Mayans in 500 years. As part of their

It is a multicultural, multilingual and multiethnic nation formed of Mayan, "Ladina", Spanish, European, Asian, Garifuna and Xinca Cultures. In this Era of Peace and Democracy, based on the "Guatemalan Accords of Long and Lasting Peace", it is recognized that our country is a merger of cultural values, philosophies, scientific and technological knowledge. Guatemala has a historical collective memory, of millenary cultures. The Mayan society was one of the most advanced Precolombine cultures in the World; the Garifuna culture, which is abundant in colorful expressions and very warm people; and the Xincas, who are highly spiritual. Each of these ways of seeing life and all its facets, combined with the influence of the Western World brought in by the Europeans, as well as the mystic ways of the Asians, make Guatemala a nation with a bright future towards prosperity and peace. Besides Spanish, which traditionally was considered the official language, there are 2

    Extractions: Chiquirichapa, Guatemala. (photo Matthew Looper) E.M. Forster once wrote that art makes us feel small in the right way, and anyone who has ever studied the dazzling hues and intricate patterns of a Guatemalan textile surely knows what he meant. Even the simplest zig-zag designs practically pulsate, the colors are so intensely rich, and the more complicated patterns featuring birds and animals truly thrill the eye. For Chico State art professor Matthew Looper, in 1993 a young graduate student newly arrived in Guatemala to document carved monuments, the textiles were a revelation. "I was totally amazed by them," he said, "and began collecting them immediately." Looper came to this passion by a rather circuitous route. "My dad and my brothers were all science people," he said during a recent interview, "and I assumed I'd be a science person too. At Duke, my specialty was molecular biology. But my sister was really interested in French and took art history classes, and to be able to talk to her I took some humanities and art classes." Once the art door opened for him, it never closed. Though he graduated Phi Beta Kappa in botany, course work in pre-Columbian art, begun at Duke, drew him to the University of Texas at Austin for graduate studies. There he came under the compelling influence of the famous Mayanist Linda Schele, one of the first researchers to launch a serious investigation of Mayan glyphs and what they revealed about the culture and history of the people who carved them. Looper earned a Fulbright as well as a National Science Foundation grant to travel to Quiriguá, Guatemala, to do "a comprehensive political history" of the site, but his attraction to indigenous textiles, kindled as soon as he arrived, meant that he began investigating their origins and history as well.

Paula Hajar Page 1 of 2 email article to friend printer friendly version most popular articles read comments review article add to favorites Twelve years passed between the moment I announced that I intended to adopt and the day I submitted my adoption application. About eight of those years were spent in pursuit of a doctorate, then searching for a job. But for another chunk of that time-at least a year-I was pursuing the possibility that I might adopt an Arab child, which, as a Lebanese American, I thought would be ideal. Adoption (except among family members) is so rare in the Arab world that my chances of adopting an Arab child were extremely slim. I finally realized that if I wanted to be a mother, I'd better expand my horizons. I did this by making comparisons between countries where children were available for adoption and my own culture. I settled on adopting a Hispanic child, specifically one from Guatemala. My reasoning went like this: the links between Arab culture and Spanish culture are deep. Guatemala is at least a partly Spanish culture, and the Arabs were in Spain for 800 years. I was still thinking about this when I learned my baby's original last name-Hernandez-and remembered that Spanish names that ended in "ez" were the names of the Moors, the Arab Spaniards. Moreover, I knew that Lebanese have been settling in South and Central America for 100 years.
