  • German-Spanish Bilingualism in Two Mennonite Communities Inmexico·
    Estudios Fronterizos, AI10 VII, vol. VIII, núm. 18-1 9, enero-abril/mayo-agosto de 1989, pp. 96-111 GERMAN-SPANISH BILINGUALISM IN TWO MENNONITE COMMUNITIES INMEXICO·. Por Dennis J. Bixler-Márquez·· RESUMEN El presente estudio se realizó para determinar el grado de estabilidad de bilingüismo (alemán-español) en dos comunidades en Chihuahua, México. La comunidad de la colonia Capulín fue seleccionada porque era representativa de los grupos menonitas más fundamentalistas y conservadores. Un grupo antiguamente menonita en la colonia Swift Cmrent se seleccionó para la contrastaci6n, debido al proceso de aculturaci6n y modernidad que experimentaba. Una encuesta por hogar, entrevistas y prolongadas observaciones, permitieron identificar las características sociolingflísticas dentro de los patrones sociales de las dos comunidades. Unicamente los usos y patrones lingflísticos más obvios revelados en la encuesta son incluidos como reportes preliminares. Se concluye que la. comunidad fundamentalista de la colonia CapulÚl posee un bilingüismo estable, mientras que el otro grupo de la colonia Swift Current más bien se podría definir como de bilingüismo transicional. ABSTRACT This study was conducted to determine the level and degree of stability of bilingualism (German-Spanish) in two German cornmunities in Chihuahua, México. The cornmunity of Colonia CapulÚl was selected because it was represen­ tative of the most fundamental and conservative Mennonite groups. A former Mennonite group in Colonia Swift Current was selected to provide a contrast because it was undergoing asignificantdegreeof acculturationandmodernization. • Funding for this study was provided by tbe Center for Inter-Arnerican and Border Studie. at tbe University of Texas at El Paso. The study was autborizcd and supported by tbe Secretaría de Educación Pública in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua and tbe Dirección de Educación Pública del Ettado de Chihuahua in Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua.

    t was getting dark. The man fixed his harsh I gaze on me and in a rough voice, said bluntly, 'You're not bothering anybody, friend. You're travelers, you need help and we're giving it to you. We know what it's like to be away from yourfam­ ily with nobody to even give you a cup of coffee. So stop saying you're a bother. And don't offer us money. If you want to pay us, do the same thing for someone else." And ali together, the residents of the little hamlet got moving to make us some­ thing to eat and even emptied an entire house so we could sleep in it. I had originally only gone up to the house to ask permission to put up our tents. Further along, a day's walk away, was the Sinfo­ rosa Canyon. Deep, broad and, above ali, unknown. We were in southern Chihuahua and wanted to cross ali the canyons in the Tarahumara Mountains in a single trip. I had had my first encounter with one, like most of us, in the Copper Canyon, next to the railing at El Divisadero. The first thing that attracted me was the canyon itself, that deep gash in the earth where we discover that the paths clown are filled withloose rocks and it takes hours to des­ cend to the river. That was, in the end, the goal. Down at the bottom, nothing could be seen but the river and the mountains towering above. After a starry night or a full moon, in the morning, the air laden with smell of greenery and your ears filled with the incessant song of cicadas, you discovered that the river was really only half the journey and you still had to climb up again.

    Original pottery by artists of Mata Ortiz, Mexico will be on view April 6-24 in Grove Gallery at UCSD March 15, 1999 Media Contact: Jan Jennings (619) 822-1684, [email protected] ORIGINAL POTTERY BY ARTISTS OF MATA ORTIZ, MEXICO WILL BE ON VIEW APRIL 6-24 IN GROVE GALLERY AT UCSD The Pottery of Mata Ortiz, an exhibition of approximately 100 original pieces of pottery by artists from the Mexican village of Mata Ortiz, will be on view April 6 through April 24 in Grove Gallery at the University of California, San Diego. A reception will be held April 9 from 5 to 7 p.m. Admission to the exhibition and the reception are free and open to the public. San Diego-based collector Ron Schneider selected the pottery to be shown. Schneider owns Puerta Vallarta's Galeria de 0llas (gallery of pots), devoted exclusively to Mata Ortiz pottery, also referred to as Casas Grandes pottery. Most pieces in the UCSD exhibit will be for sale. Sizes will range from two inches to 18 inches high and prices from $18 to $3,000.

  • ACTIVIST LEADER and WIFE KILLED in MEXICO an Environmental Activist Leader and His Wife Have Been Killed in Chihuahua State, Northern Mexico
    UA: 320/12 Index: AMR 41/070/2012 Mexico Date: 25 October 2012 URGENT ACTION ACTIVIST LEADER AND WIFE KILLED IN MEXICO An environmental activist leader and his wife have been killed in Chihuahua state, northern Mexico. This event follows a pattern of death threats and there are fears for the security of other members of the family and other leaders of the activists’ organization. On 22 October, the dead body of activist Ismael Solorio Urrutia was found with a shot to the head, and his wife Manuela Solís Contreras with a shot the chest. They had been on their way to a medical appointment in Chihuahua City. Both were members of El Barzón, a smallholder farmers’ movement in Chihuahua. Chihuahua State suffers from a shortage of water; Ismael Solorio Urrutia had been campaigning to improve access to water. Amnesty International has been informed that there had been a repeated pattern of threats. In September, Ismael Solorio Urrutia and other members of the organization received death threats from an unknown man. Formal complaints about these threats were filed with the Chihuahua Estate Interior Minister (Secretario de Gobierno del Estado de Chihuahua). The threats continued, and on 13 October Ismael Solorio Urrutia and his son were attacked and beaten by someone who allegedly worked for a mining company indirectly involved in the dispute over water access. On 15 October, members of El Barzón asked to meet with the Secretary of Government of Chihuahua State, to request his intervention to prevent further attacks and hold to account those responsible for the death threats.
