Book Description
In a jungle village high up on Ghost Mountain, the people were happy and lived well, their leader was Chief Amado. The chief told stories and had words of wisdom. All of the people in his village loved his stories which left everybody around him hypnotized. For years nothing exciting happened in the village. Then one day a man wandered into their village, saying he'd gotten lost in the jungle and asked for something to eat. After he had eaten, he told the people of Ghost Mountain how he felt about them, He told them that people in neighboring villages were starving and had nothing. The man’s words and attitude were aggressive and violent, but Chief Amado said he would go to the nearest village to see what was going on. Chief Amado left his village the next morning, and didn’t return for years. When he returned to his village he was a changed man, and spent weeks in his hut alone. When he left his hut, he tells them about the wicket behavior of the people in villages all over Africa. He told then people were doing all kinds of nasty things. The Voodoo Queen has no friends. She roams the forest around her hut at night. She is lonely and wishes to see the sun, but a deadly affliction prevents her from the exposure of light. Even though her power, the Voodoo Queen live with ghostly creatures. She wishes to see the sun rise, but that’s impossible. Her only comfort is her deck of Tarot cards, which reveals her fate, knowledge, and death." She tries to understand her future, but she didn’t like the answer. The Voodoo Queens leaves her hut which is like a castle in the jungle every night to eat. When she was young she ate only small animals. Now she is a woman, she must have men." A ghostly woman brings her men to eat. After she has finished eating and drinking their blood, she is disgusted by what she has done. She buries her victim's remains in her jungle. During the day, the blood sucking woman sleeps in her coffin, with her clothing stained with blood.

Chiefs, Scribes, and Ethnographers
Author: James Howe
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292779631
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
The Kuna of Panama, today one of the best known indigenous peoples of Latin America, moved over the course of the twentieth century from orality and isolation towards literacy and an active engagement with the nation and the world. Recognizing the fascination their culture has held for many outsiders, Kuna intellectuals and villagers have collaborated actively with foreign anthropologists to counter anti-Indian prejudice with positive accounts of their people, thus becoming the agents as well as subjects of ethnography. One team of chiefs and secretaries, in particular, independently produced a series of historical and cultural texts, later published in Sweden, that today still constitute the foundation of Kuna ethnography. As a study of the political uses of literacy, of western representation and indigenous counter-representation, and of the ambivalent inter-cultural dialogue at the heart of ethnography, Chiefs, Scribes, and Ethnographers addresses key issues in contemporary anthropology. It is the story of an extended ethnographic encounter, one involving hundreds of active participants on both sides and continuing today.

The Cartels
Author: George W. Grayson Professor Emeritus
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
An up-to-date examination of Mexico's version of the "War on Drugs" that exposes the evolution of major cartels and their corruption of politicians, law-enforcement agencies, and the Army. What can President Enrique Peña Nieto do to curb the narcotics-induced mayhem in Mexico, and what would be the consequences to the United States if he fails? This book analyzes Mexico's transition from a relatively peaceful kleptocracy controlled by the Tammany-Hall style Institutional Revolutionary Party/PRI (19292000) to a country plagued by rural and urban enclaves of grotesque violence. The author examines the major drug cartels and their success in infiltrating American and Mexican businesses; details the response from the Obama administration; assesses the threat that the continuing bloodshed represents for the United States; and emphasizes the constraints on America's ability to solve Mexico's crisis, despite U.S. contributions of intelligence, military equipment, training, and diplomatic support.
