  • SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE - Nordamerikansk Koloni Eller Mexicansk Utopi?
    Isabel Øren Masteroppgave i latinamerikanske studier Oktober 2012 SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE - Nordamerikansk koloni eller mexicansk utopi? (Foto: Privat) Universitetet i Oslo Institutt for litteratur, områdestudier og europeiske språk © Isabel Øren 2012 San Miguel de Allende - Nordamerikansk koloni eller mexicansk utopi? Trykk og innbinding: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo Publisert på: http://www.duo.uio.no/ SAMMENDRAG Denne oppgaven tar utgangspunkt i migrasjon fra USA til en liten kolonial by i México; San Miguel de Allende. Byen, som ligger på UNESCOs kulturarvliste, har siden 1940-tallet vært preget av nye innflyttere. Den etnografiske studien undersøker hvordan de nordamerikanske innvandrerne påvirker det mexicanske samfunnet og lokalbefolkningen her. Det teoretiske perspektivet er migrasjon, kulturell identitet og makt. Oppgaven bygger på kvalitativ metode, dybdeintervjuer, strukturerte intervju (spørreundersøkelse) og observasjon, og en analyse av disse. Funnene viser at nordamerikanerne styrker den økonomiske infrastrukturen i samfunnet og bidrar til sosiale forbedringer. På en annen side har de skapt skiller mellom folkegruppene, bidratt til endringer på boligmarkedet og lagt noen føringer mht. språk. Minoritetens fremtredende posisjon i San Miguel ser også ut til å ha ført til en forsterket gruppetilhørighet blant los sanmiguelenses, i form av sterkere ivaretakelse av kulturelle tradisjoner, skikker og interesse for naturområder. San Miguel blir oppfattet som et flerkulturelt samfunn der den mexicanske majoriteten og den nordamerikanske minoritetsgruppen lever nokså separat, men likevel hevder noen at det er en gjensidig respekt mellom de to folkegruppene. Noen nordamerikanere sitter på en benk i San Miguels sentrum og leser en bok. Andre står og snakker med hverandre. De er nærmest ikke til å unngå, og med like, naturfargede hatter blir de ekstra synlige.

Once an important stop on the silver route between Zacatecas and Mexico City, its historic center is filled with well­preserved buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries. With its narrow cobblestone streets, leafy courtyards, fine architectural details and sumptuous interiors, San Miguel de Allende is arguably the prettiest town in Mexico. Monday, Feb 13 San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Transfers are included from Leon or ​ Queretaro airports to the El Palomar Hotel in San Miguel de Allende (see Flight Tips below). Meet Cheryl, Robert and your traveling companions for a Welcome Reception on the rooftop terrace followed by a festive dinner at a nearby restaurant. Reception, Dinner Tuesday, Feb 14 Following breakfast at the hotel, join our local guide, Francisco Correa, for a ​ private walking tour of San Miguel de Allende, including an exclusive visit to two private gardens in town, followed by lunch at world­famous The Restaurant.

Guests may wish to visit the Parque Juarez to see the plants offered for sale at the annual Candelaria festival. Later, half of our group will enjoy an evening at La Cocina cooking school where owner Kris Rudolph, owner of El Buen Cafe in San Miguel de Allende, will give us a hands­on lesson in creating a deliciously authentic Mexican meal.

One may argue the causes, the promises, the fulfillments of revolution, but one can never deny the numberless, unwritten personal tragedies that accompany it wherever it goes. This book intimately describes four such tragedies — of Jesús, who asked only to spend his life in the service of his master, Don Fernando; of that small landowner himself, who wanted nothing of the revolution and tried in vain to stay aloof from it; of the peon Juan, reared in the tradition of the church, who later fought against it; and of Padre Dominguez, a priest caught up in the revolution as it swept through the beautiful mountain town of San Miguel de Allende in the great central plateau of Mexico. Yet this story might have happened anywhere that revolution has visited. It could have occurred when Rome was young and men fought and gave their lives for a republic; it could have happened yesterday during the American Revolution, or the French; or it could have been born in the dawn of today in cold Slavic Russia, or this very noon in warmer Latin Madrid.
