Mexican Enough
Author: Stephanie Elizondo Griest
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416579710
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Growing up in a half-white, half-brown town and family in South Texas, Stephanie Elizondo Griest struggled with her cultural identity. Upon turning thirty, she ventured to her mother's native Mexico to do some root-searching and stumbled upon a social movement that shook the nation to its core. Mexican Enough chronicles her adventures rumbling with luchadores (professional wrestlers), marching with rebel teachers in Oaxaca, investigating the murder of a prominent gay activist, and sneaking into a prison to meet with indigenous resistance fighters. She also visits families of the undocumented workers she befriended back home. Travel mates include a Polish thief, a Border Patrol agent, and a sultry dominatrix. Part memoir, part journalistic reportage, Mexican Enough illuminates how we cast off our identity in our youth, only to strive to find it again as adults -- and the lessons to be learned along the way.

Over the Santa Fe Trail to Mexico
Author: Rowland Willard
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806153288
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
One of the first Anglo-Americans to record their travels to New Mexico, Dr. Rowland Willard (1794–1884) journeyed west on the Santa Fe Trail in 1825 and then down the Camino Real into Mexico, taking notes along the way. This edition of the young physician’s travel diaries and subsequent autobiography, annotated by New Mexico Deputy State Librarian Joy L. Poole, is a rich historical source on the two trails and the practice of medicine in the 1820s. Few Americans knew much about New Mexico when Willard set out on his journey from St. Charles, Missouri, where he had recently completed a medical apprenticeship. The growing commerce with the Southwest presented opportunities for the ambitious doctor. On his first day travelling the plains of the Santa Fe Trail, he met the mountain man Hugh Glass, who regaled Willard with stories of his wilderness experiences. Conducting a physical examination of Glass, Dr. Willard provided the only eye witness medical account of Glass’s deformities resulting from a grizzly bear attack. Willard referred to the mountain man as Father Glass, a testimony to his age. He visited Santa Fe, practiced medicine in Taos, then traveled south to Chihuahua, arriving during a measles epidemic. Willard treated patients in Mexico for two years before returning to Missouri in 1828. Willard’s narrative challenges long-accepted assumptions about the exact routes taken by pack trains on the Santa Fe Trail. It also provides thrilling glimpses of a landscape densely populated with wildlife. The doctor describes “a great theater of nature,” with droves of elk and buffalo, and “wolf and antelope skipping in every direction.” With his traveling companions he hunted buffalo by crawling after them on all fours, afterward making jerky out of bison meat and boats out of their hides. Willard also details his medical practice, offering a revealing view of physicians’ operating practices in a time when sanitation and anesthesia were rare. The Santa Fe Trail and Camino Real took Willard on the journey of a lifetime. This account recalls the early days of the Santa Fe Trail trade and westward American migration, when a doctor from Missouri could cross paths with mountain men, traders, Mexican clergymen, and government officials on their way to new opportunities.

The Mexico Diaries
Author: Daniel Theodore Gair
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781717013835
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Take A Ride on the Mexican Side! In 2005 Dan Gair and his wife Holly Hunter went to Mexico in search of a bungalow near the beach to escape New England winters. After a chance encounter with someone desperate to sell a one hundred acre tract of land, Dan & Holly signed on to what would become a life-altering adventure. Now, more than a dozen years later comes 'The Mexico Diaries', a lively romp through the Mexican underbrush. In this humorous, fast-paced memoir, the reader meets eccentric travelers, corrupt cops, dangerous animals, esoteric shamans, narco henchmen, and colorful locals, all while experiencing sustainability boot camp, and the joys and sorrows of ranch life in Mexico. Considering Traveling, Homesteading, or Retiring in Mexico? Through a wealth of entertaining anecdotes, The Mexico Diaries explores life at the intersection of Americano and Mexican culture. This book will give nuanced insight for those considering Mexico as a destination and will serve as both encouragement to go, and cautionary tale. The Mexico Diaries is also the perfect primer for anyone interested in pursuing an alternative, sustainable lifestyle on foreign soil. Advance Praise For The Mexico Diaries "As lively and engaging an account of resettling in Mexico as you'll encounter, replete with goat wrangling, narcos, scorpions, and a rollicking cast of characters. As Dan and Holly, fleeing their stress-filled US lives, struggle to set up an eco-friendly community along Mexico's west coast, fiascos and triumphs mark their journey." - Tony Cohan, author of the best-selling memoir, On Mexican Time. "A whirlwind Mexican journey to sustainability and beyond" - SurvivingMexico.com / Book Reviews Dan Gair's writing style in his book, "The Mexico Diaries," brought me right into his and Holly's very personal version of their own "Robinson Crusoe" life. I was pulled quickly into his narrative, reading deep into the night, not wanting to put the book down. I thoroughly enjoyed his adventures, his sense of humor, and his outlook, particularly with the many challenges. A well written and most enjoyable narrative. - Vidda Chan, retired editor and ex-pat. "This is a wonderful memoir for a number of reasons, not the least of which is it presents the tale of an ex-pat couple who relocate to another country for the purpose of becoming acculturated as well as contributing to the health of the planet and its beings. Impressive and inspiring. Gair is a compassionate, observant, humorous, and insightful narrator, and his writing is vivid and moving. You're gonna love this book!" - Lynn Gray, author of the memoir Longing for the Wild and nine novels. By Purchasing or Gifting a Copy of The Mexico Diaries you are also Helping the Environment!

Checkpoint Zipolite
Author: Belén Fernández
Publisher: OR Books
ISBN: 9781682193068
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
"When I first committed to three full months in El Salvador, the feeling that I was signing up for the equivalent of marriage and reproduction was assuaged only by the awareness that, come March 2020, I'd be dashing around Mexico before flying to Istanbul and resuming freneticism in that hemisphere. Little did I know that the scribbled itinerary would never come to fruition, and that I'd only get as far as the coastal village of Zipolite in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, where March 13-25 would turn into March 13 until further notice." Since leaving her American homeland in 2003 Belén Fernández had been an inveterate traveler. Ceaselessly wandering the world, the only constant in her itinerary was a conviction never to return to the country of her childhood. Then the COVID-19 lockdown happened and Fernandez found herself stranded in a small village on the Pacific coast of Mexico. This charming, wryly humorous account of nine months stuck in one place nevertheless roams freely: over reflections on previous excursions to the wilder regions of North Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe; over her new-found friendship with Javier, the mezcal-drinking, chain-smoking near-septuagenarian she encounters in his plastic chair on Mexico's only clothing-optional beach; over her protracted struggle to obtain a life-saving supply of yerba mate; and over, literally, the rope of a COVID-19 checkpoint, set up directly outside her front door and manned by armed guards who require her to don a mask every time she returns home.
