GETTING TO KNOW CISPES The CISPES Mission Statement We are a grassroots organization dedicated to supporting the Salvadoran people’s struggle for self‐ determination and social and economic justice. The alternative that they are building –an alternative based upon democratic and socialist ideals–is an example to all people who seek a world free of domination and exploitation. We support that alternative because we believe that capitalism is a fundamentally unjust, oppressive and ecologically unsustainable economic system. We join with poor and working people, immigrants and refugees in the struggle against neoliberalism– the current manifestation of capitalism imposed by the United States government and its state, institutional and corporate allies. Neoliberal policies continue to produce enormous suffering and destabilization around the world. We focus our work on El Salvador because of the U.S. government’s continuing military, economic, and political intervention on behalf of U.S. corporate interests, and because the Salvadoran people’s tenacious and inspiring struggle to build social justice. We work to achieve three basic goals: 1. To end U.S. economic, political and military intervention in El Salvador and by extension Central America, the Caribbean, and all of the Americas. In the current context we work to end U.S.‐imposed global economic policies that devastate local cultures and economies, specifically in El Salvador. 2. To give political and material support to the grassroots movement in El Salvador for self‐ determination, economic democracy and social justice. The groups we strive to support and collaborate with include labor, women’s, youth, LGBT and other grassroots organizations. We stand in solidarity with the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN), as we have since our founding, because of its central role in building a new, egalitarian society. 3. To help build a broad‐based progressive U.S. social movement and an international, working‐class led movement for economic and social justice. We challenge ourselves to reflect in our own work the ideals and the vision we have of a society free from all forms of injustice. CISPES’s organizing methodology is an anti‐oppressive model of building power and leadership while accounting for the individual privileges we hold and oppressions that we face. CISPES uses a wide variety of creative tactics to achieve our goals. These include: public protest and education, grassroots lobbying of policy makers and fundraising for both our own work and material aid to El Salvador. Part of our mission is to build and strengthen the progressive movement in this country, by forming alliances with organizations that share our vision, especially grassroots organizations. We also support other progressive forces in Central America, the Caribbean, and all of the Americas which are working for human rights, democracy and social justice. Inspired by the growth of Left political parties and social movement organizations, CISPES works in coalition with other forces in the U.S. that are supporting social movements and governments building a people‐centered alternative in Latin America. In addition, we support fundamental human rights for Salvadorans and other immigrants and refugees in the United States, regardless of their so‐called “legal” or “illegal” status. 2 CISPES Anti‐Oppression Statement What follows is CISPES’ national mission statement on anti‐oppression. This statement is part of our national recommitment to becoming a more inclusive organization in solidarity not only with the struggle in El Salvador, but with oppressed people everywhere. CISPES is committed to working for a world without oppression. We recognize that the roots of oppression run deep in our society and in ourselves, and that all freedom struggles — from El Salvador’s battle for self‐ determination to domestic challenges to racism, sexism and heterosexism — are linked. CISPES’ commitment to challenging oppressive behaviors springs from a strong desire for community. We seek a community where we can grow and respect each other, and not feel the need to dominate and control other people. Through inclusive organizing, we believe we can achieve community and help build a mass grassroots movement to effectively challenge injustice. We recognize that barriers to inclusive organizing — racism, sexism, heterosexism, classism, ageism, ableism and other domineering behaviors and attitudes — stem from an ideology of oppression ingrained in our social institutions as well as in each of us. Oppression is fostered through the ignorance and prejudice that characterize our schools, the media and government institutions. Oppression is enforced through violence, ranging from physical attacks on women – including the forced sterilization of women of color — to assaults on gays and lesbians. Oppressive behavior can be obvious, such as the beating of Rodney King or the Senate inquisition endured by Anita Hill. Or oppression can be manifested in more subtle ways, as when women’s comments are devalued at CISPES meetings or CISPES fundraising activities are geared toward whites and heterosexuals. This behavior diminishes our collective work, while isolating and disempowering individuals. Confronting and dealing with oppressive behaviors, then, must be a centerpiece of our work in CISPES. We need to strengthen continuously the mechanisms of inclusive organizing, including affirmative action, educational workshops, and coalition building with movements led by the oppressed. We will continue to study and articulate the history and dynamics of oppression. We have a responsibility to forge a model of inclusive organizing, within our own organization and within the national and international progressive movements. We must hold ourselves accountable — to educate and to develop ourselves in order to make all of us feel at home in CISPES. Ultimately, we’re striving to create a safe space for the victims of oppression, a space where those who are discriminated against can find allies in the struggle against injustice, and validate their pain, anger and frustration when they are victimized. Since its foundation, CISPES has acted on a vision of self‐determination and social justice. That vision cannot be limited to one country or one people. Solidarity means mutual support in ending discrimination and injustice, 3 while building

  • Contemporary Art Music Compositions with Folkloric Elements of El Salvador
    CONTEMPORARY ART MUSIC COMPOSITIONS WITH FOLKLORIC ELEMENTS OF EL SALVADOR RAUL PALOMO A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTERS OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO AUGUST 2017 © RAUL PALOMO, 2017 Abstract There is a critical lack of ethnographic and ethnomusicological research that focuses in El Salvador’s indigenous (folkloric) music. Drawing on the historical studies and research of Santiago Ignacio Barberena and Dr. Jorge Lardé, as well as the ethnographic work of Maria de Baratta, I identify the elements of Cuzcatlán’s indigenous music and provide a brief overview of its history, rhythms, instruments, and forms. I then provide three original compositions that use the elements of Salvadoran folkloric music in a contemporary, art music settings. This work will be a reference source for future musicological research and compositional endeavors that might help keep an interest in Salvadoran folkloric music and create a renewed interest in its repertoire. ii Acknowledgements I have been infinitely blessed, in the pursuit of my dreams and music studies, to have been supported, guided, and advised by some of the most talented and heart-warming people. Their endless generosity, patience, and motivation ignited my volition and kept me from ever doubting myself and my goals. From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank: • Chelsea Gassert, my other half, for her endless love and support. For always being there for me and pushing me to always work hard and keep moving forward with my chin held up high.

  • Chapter 5 Nawat
    Chapter 5 Nawat 5.1 Introduction This chapter introduces the Nawat/Pipil language. Section 5.2 explains the Nawat/Pipil and the Nawat/Nahuatl distinction. A brief history of the Pipil people is provided in section 5.3. Section 5.4 reviews the available Nawat language resources. A basic grammar is outlined in section 5.5. A more complete description would require more resources beyond the scope of the present project. Section 5.6 discusses the issues that arise for the present project, including what alphabet and dialect to use. Section 5.7 provides a summary of the chapter. 5.2 Nawat – Some Basic Facts Nawat versus Pipil In the literature, the Nawat language of El Salvador is referred to as Pipil. The people who speak the language are known as the Pipil people, hence the use of the word Pipil for their language. However, the Pipil speakers themselves refer to their language as Nawat. In El Salvador, the local Spanish speakers refer to the language as “nahuat” (pronounced “/nawat/”). Throughout this document, the language will be called Nawat. El Salvador is a small country in Central America. It is bordered on the north-west by Guatemala and on the north-east by Honduras. See Figure 5.1 for a map of Central America. El Salvador (Used by permission of The General Libraries, The University of Texas at Austin) Figure 5.1 Map of Central America 75 Nawat versus Nahuatl Nawat is an Uto-Aztecan language (Campbell, 1985). It is related to the Nahuatl language spoken in Mexico (which is where the Pipils originally came from, see section 5.3).

  • 1 Un Ecijano, Que Fue En La Expedición De Pedro De Alvarado, a La
    Un ecijano, que fue en la expedición de Pedro de Alvarado, a la conquista de Indias y dejó, por razón de su cargo y descendencia, sangre astigitana en tierras americanas. Julio 2017 Ramón Freire Gálvez. Que ha hecho calor esta semana en Écija, que va es una utopía. Qué es 46 grados a la sombra cuando yo he estado sentadito en mi ordenador y en descasando con el aire acondicionado (que luego pase el recibo de Endesa y si no hay saldo en la cuenta, mientras que pasan otra vez el recibo Dios dirá), no es nada pues me entero por las noticias; lo que si tiene en mérito en esas personas que están al aire libre y a pleno sol en esta tierra nuestra y pienso que es que si la jornada laboral fuese diez horas diarias (para que queremos tantas horas de sol) durante el resto del año, Julio y Agosto tenía que ser de vacaciones, pero eso no lo arreglan ni… los políticos, pero vayamos con este artículo semanal. He dejado escrito en otras ocasiones, que el nombre de la ciudad de Écija, figura inscrito en los anales del Descubrimiento de América y la posterior colonización de tierras americanas. Consta documentalmente que más de cien ecijanos fueron en las distintas expediciones que, desde Sevilla, salieron en busca de dicha aventura, ya fuere en calidad de religioso, militar, artesano o criado, tanto hombres como mujeres. A uno de ellos va dedicado este artículo. Su nombre JUAN PEREZ DE ARDON o DARDON. Nació en Écija entre 1490 y 1500, hijo de Juan Pérez de Ardón y Mayor Páez, casado con Juana Rodríguez, por lo que, ante la falta de registros en dicha época, dado que las primeras inscripciones bautismales, concretamente en la Parroquia Mayor de Santa Cruz, se inician a partir del año de 1500, se hace imposible aportar cualquier documento eclesiástico o civil que acredite su nacimiento en Écija, si bien de las propias manifestaciones y documentos encontrados, así resulta.

Dillon Matthias Strecker's Rock Art of East Mexico and Central America: An Annotated Bibliography originally appeared as a small edition in 1979 and quickly went out of print. Because of the volume of requests for additional copies and the influx of new or overlooked citations received since the first printing, production of a second , revised edition became necessary. More than half a hundred new ref­ erences in Spanish, English, German and French have been incorporated into this new edition and help Strecker's work to maintain its position as the most comprehen­ sive listing of rock art studies undertaken in Central America. Both editions have been published under the sponsorship of the Rock Art Archive of the Institute of Archaeology at the University of California, Los Angeles. The Rock Art 'Archive is the only permanent facility dedicated exclusively to rock art research currently in existence in the New World , and has since its inception provided a focus for the international community of rock art scholars through concentrating published and unpublished data and disseminating research results in published form.

  • El Salvador Guide
    Cruisers Rally to El Salvador Guide Elsalvadorrally.com Welcome to El Salvador The west coast of Central America is often bypassed, as southbound recreational boaters tend to take a direct route to the marquee destinations of Costa Rica or Panama. In the past relatively few of these boats have stopped in El Salvador, and those that did spent only a short time because they: 1) are not aware of the recreational possibilities available in El Salvador, 2) think that El Salvador is a dangerous country, 3) think that it is an unsafe place during hurricane season. The destination of Bahia del Sol is located inside Estero Jaltepeque on the Costa del Sol peninsula where the sun is king. It is the optimum location for cruisers because it has important services for cruisers such as marinas, moorings, safe anchorage, restaurants, and easy access to transportation and shopping. A plus for the area is that you can interact with the friendly locals and experience the Salvadorian life style at various levels. Boats in the anchorage Now, adventuresome cruisers have discovered that El Salvador is a spectacular destination that offers a relaxing atmosphere with a ‘cruisers vacation’ feel. They found this is a place where you can safely leave your boat for as long as you wish to hang out, travel, and enjoy Central America. Full moon in the estuary This guide will show you how easy it is to travel to El Salvador to discover an unspoiled and uncomplicated country where you will instantly feel welcomed.
