Demotic Ostraca and Other Inscriptions from the Sacred Animal Necropolis, North Saqqara
This volume publishes the demotic ostraca discovered by the EES in the Sacred Animal Necropolis at North Saqqara more than thirty years ago. The majority of the four hundred plus ostraca published in this volume are written on potsherds but there are also limestone and gypsum plaster fragments, and writing-boards. Collectively, they preserve two different types of text: jar-labels or dockets originally written upon a complete vessel, and secondly compositions written upon a sherd that had already been broken from its parent vessel, or a flake of limestone or some similar material. The texts include literary and magical compositions, and a range of texts which argue for the existence of a scribal school of some kind. There is also a short oracular question, various dedications to the gods of the Necropolis, an appeal to the Mother of the Apis, lists of payments and divine images, and a document of self-sale or self-hire which is probably the earliest such document so far recognised. Some of the texts date from the Achaemenid period but the majority are undoubtedly Ptolemaic.

The Penitentes of New Mexico

pokkari
This is the first major study by a Hispano from New Mexico with intergenerational ties to the Penitentes--the deeply religious group called Hermanos de la Luz, Brothers of the Light. It also ties the santero folk art of New Mexico, the Penitente Brotherhood, and the Penitente religious hymns, alabados, together. De Arag n asserts that one cannot truly function without all three and herein lies the devotional beauty that has been passed down for generations in Spanish folk tradition. Ray John de Arag n is an internationally recognized santero and writer. He has received numerous awards and is credited with producing imges meant primarily for religious veneration like the original New Mexico santeros of he nineteenth century. He has always strived for authentic detail in sculpting wooden figures that most closely resemble the spiritual and folk quality of the originals. His attention to true religious detail centered on the Passion sufferings of Christ is evident in this book. He is the is the author of "Padre Mart nez and Bishop Lamy," "The Legend of La Llorona," and "Recollections of the Life of the Priest Don Antonio Jose Mart nez," all from Sunstone Press.
The Legend of La Llorona

The Legend of La Llorona

Ray John De Aragon

Sunstone Press

pokkari
The folklore of Spanish America is full of exciting accounts of a wandering, shrieking, tormented spirit called La Llorona, the "Wailing Woman." Her eerie spine-chilling cry was said to be an omen of death. This is the first serious account of the frightening tale that has fascinated people for generations. Ray John de Arag n, an expert on Spanish folklore, traditions and myths, traveled throughout the villages and byways of New Mexico searching out the roots of this very popular Spanish phantom. What he found was that every person he listened to had a different version. They sometimes placed her in their own towns as having been a local girl who had lived, loved, and then died a tragic death. She then arose, according to hearsay, and now she searches throughout the countryside for the children she lost in a watery grave. Some villagers even took him to a nearby river or arroyo to show him where La Llorona and her children drowned, but they always cautioned, "Don't come here late at night because she will appear to you crying, and she will follow you as you try to get away." The author then took the threads of the stories he heard and has woven them in a full length study of this famous ghost. Noted folklorist Pedro Ribera Ortega called this book in a review, "The tragic mythic love/ghost story laid out to scare even the bravest of readers." Ray John de Arag n has a Masters in American Studies and has been a keynote speaker at public and historical conferences. He is the recipient of numerous awards and is the author of "Padre Mart nez and Bishop Lamy," "The Penitentes of New Mexico," and "Recollections of the Life of the Priest Don Antonio Jose Mart nez," all from Sunstone Press.
New Mexico's Stolen Lands: A History of Racism, Fraud and Deceit
When the Mexican-American War ended in 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo guaranteed previous Spanish and Mexican land grants, as well as rights for Native Americans to their ancestral homelands. However, organized property theft began soon after. People were methodically dispossessed of their homes through manipulation, conspiracy and even organized crime rings, leading to widespread poverty and isolation. Then in 1967, the Tierra Amarilla Courthouse Raid, led by charismatic civil rights leader Reies L pez Tijerina, brought the age-old struggle over these stolen lands to the national stage. Author Ray John de Arag n brings to light the suffering brought to New Mexico by land barons, cattlemen and unscrupulous politicians and the effects still felt today.

New Mexico Civil Rights and Justice: Tears in the Valleys

Former ranchers were forced to eke out a living in zinc mines, leading to protests of conditions that were memorialized in the movie Salt of the Earth, which both the film industry and the government tried to suppress. As the civil rights movement swept across the country in the 1960s, New Mexico found its own champions in activists like Reies L pez Tijerina, who denounced the widespread mistreatment and abuse of the helpless. Ray John de Arag n follows the heritage of protest in New Mexico, from folk heroes like Padre Don Antonio Jos Mart nez to more contemporary battles against racism and prejudice.
