Milpa
Our book, MILPA: From Seed to Salsa - Ancient Ingredients for a Sustainable Future, explores through a blend of thoughtful essays, mouth-watering recipes and stunning documentary photography how the ancient agricultural knowledge and the wealth of 1000 year-old seeds and communal planting practices being revived in the environmentally devastated Mixtec region in southern Mexico can help us meet the ecological, health and food crises of today. The book is written in conjunction with and the help of the campesino families who received the prestigious Goldman Environmental Award in 2008, and discusses simple enduring indigenous alternatives for farmers, home gardeners, and cooks around the world who care about the quality of their food and the rights of all to a healthy, nutritious diet. The book supports recent studies by UN investigators that show how small plots of land, heritage non-GMO (genetically modified organisms) seeds and sustainable practices can in fact feed the world while enriching the soils on which we all depend for life. The milpa system stands as a microcosm for global food issues and offers solutions to help us all move towards a sustainable global human family
The Insurrection of the Common Good
This is published by Floricanto Press www.FloricantoPress.com www.LatinoBooks.Net #LatinoBooks The events in this novel are real, many of the names and places are fictitious. U.S. environmental activist, Susana Olsen, arrives in this complicated milieu to try to overcome indigenous resistance to a "clean energy" project. In the mountains of southern Mexico a culture of ancestral communal life over seven thousand years old still thrives. Like the communities of the state of Chiapas that erupted into resistance in the Zapatista war of 1994, these communities are threatened by a global economy that cares nothing for communal living and holds nothing as sacred. Armando Pedro Cruz and his village...
The Other Game
The authors ask you to consider playing a new game, one in which everyone has a chance to win. They invite you into a community which can make the world bigger, richer, and more exciting for you, as their life among the Mixtec peoples has for them. You will visit villages that have existed for thousands of years, meet their inhabitants, and talk with them about life, economics, work, and family. You will see how their way of life presents concrete alternatives to our Western culture that we must take seriously in order to create a sustainable future for ourselves, our human race, and the other dwellers of the planet. Far from being a romantic throwback to a lost paradise, the indigenous society in this book -- so close yet so far-- offers us strong contemporary options at a turning point in our own history.
The Oxford Handbook of Latin American Christianity
By 2025, Latin America's population of observant Christians will be the largest in the world. Nonetheless, studies examining the exponential growth of global Christianity tend to overlook this region, focusing instead on Africa and Asia. Research on Christianity in Latin America provides a core point of departure for understanding the growth and development of Christianity in the "Global South." In The Oxford Handbook of Latin American Christianity an interdisciplinary contingent of scholars examines Latin American Christianity in all of its manifestations from the colonial to the contemporary period. The essays here provide an accessible background to understanding Christianity in Latin America. Spanning the era from indigenous and African-descendant people's conversion to and transformation of Catholicism during the colonial period through the advent of Liberation Theology in the 1960s and conversion to Pentecostalism and Charismatic Catholicism, The Oxford Handbook of Latin American Christianity is the most complete introduction to the history and trajectory of this important area of modern Christianity.
