London is the greenest of cities and Hampstead Heath and Regent's
Park are two of its most glorious - very different - open spacesm
whose beauty changes through the seasons. For each month of the
year this book offers at least one poem set on the Heath and one
set in the Park.
This title is a collection of poetry of the exiled Chilean poet and
playwright Alfredo Cordal.
Although "levantamientos indigenas" (Indian uprisings) have taken
place for 500 years, the contemporary indigenous movement in Latin
American was signaled by mobilizations in Ecuador, the first in
1990, as resistance to celebrations of the 500th anniversary of
Columbus' "discovery" of the Americas. Their slogan then was: "We
will not dance on our grandparent's tombs". In 1999 indigenous
people ruled Equador, if only for a few hours. In January 2000, the
indigenous people of Equador walked into the capital, Quito, where
they demanded - and got - the registration of President Jamil
Mahuad. This volume contains topical articles covering the
"levantamientos" of 1999 and 2000 and interviews with indigenous
leaders to provide a unique insight into one of the strongest
movements in Latin America. The selection of essays and background
information on the problems facing indigenous people make this this
a fascinating introduction to Ecuador. The text also covers
environmental issues, health and education, political
representation, the effect of gentically-modified foods, the
patenting of indigenous seeds and the taking of blood samples of
indigenous people without their consent. A background and history
of indigenous people and black and white photographs are also
included.
