Brown: The Last Discovery of America
Richard Rodriguez, writer, 2003 Melcher Book Award winner
The Frederic G. Melcher Book Award is presented annually by the Unitarian Universalist Association to a work published in the United States during the past calendar year judged to be the most significant contribution to religious liberalism. Previous Melcher Book award recipients include David Halberstam for The Children, Wei Jingsheng for The Courage to Stand Alone, and James Carroll for Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jews.
Brown completes a trilogy on American public life by Rodriguez that began with the award-winning Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez (Bantam, 1983) and Days of Obligation: An Argument With My Mexican Father (Penguin, 1993). In Brown, he explores issues of race, arguing that America has been brown since its inception, as he himself is. Brown, in his view, is not a color, but a mixture, evidence of the blending of cultures which began the moment the African and European met within the Indian eye. The son of Mexican immigrants, he reflects on what it means to be Hispanic in America and how Latino immigrants have impacted American culture, changing it from a society that has traditionally seen itself as simply black and white.

J. Lorand Matory
Professor of Anthropology and of African and African American Studies
Harvard University
Cambridge, MA
Thursday, September 28, 2006
5:30 p.m.
Breedlove Room, Perkins Library, Duke University
Title:
An African Empire in the Americas: Transnational Yoruba Religion and the
Twilight of Andersonian Teleology
Professor Matory studies the diversity of African, African American, and
Latin American culture, with an emphasis on how differently various peoples
understand identity. He is also interested in Haitian "Vodu," Brazilian
Candomblé, and Cuban Santería, which, although rooted in Africa, have
deeply penetrated our urban landscape in the wake of immigration from the
Caribbean to the United States. These fields inform his lecturing and
writing on the poetics and politics of daily language in the United States,
which explores such topics as how culturally idiosyncratic metaphors of
lightness, darkness, time, money, size, and direction often guide and
misguide our thinking about the world.
Professor Matory has published Sex and the Empire that Is No More (1994),
which concerns male wives and female husbands in Yoruba religion and
politics, and was noted by Choice magazine as one of the outstanding
scholarly books of 1994. Gender, nationalism, and the role of manumitted
black travelers in shaping the Afro-Brazilian Candomblé religion are the
subject of his latest book--Black Atlantic Religion: Tradition,
Transnationlism and Matriarchy in the Afro-Brazilian Candomblé (paperback
edition, 2005).
Professor Matory grew up in Washington, D.C. He earned his A.B. in
anthropology from Harvard in 1982 and his Ph.D. in anthropology from the
University of Chicago in 1991. He speaks French, Spanish, Portuguese, and
Yoruba fluently. He has won numerous fellowships and awards and continues
to serve on the advisory board of GLQ, a Journal of Lesbian and Gay
Studies, as well as the editorial council of Brazil's flagship journal of
black studies, Afro-Asia.

===> Click To Hear "Noche de Candela part 03"
Part 01: Intro by Dr. Patrice Gouveia Marks, Dr. Marco Polo Hernández Cuevas and Dr. Ian Isidore Smart
Part 02: Dr. Johnny Webster and Professor Achameleh Debela
Part 03: Professor Kimberly Hernández and Dr. Marco Polo Hernández Cuevas
"Noches de Candela" poetic vigils are a series of literary events aimed at invoking the Oshun-Chango spirit to produce a major "Rumba in San Juan de Ulúa" fortress in Veracruz, Mexico summer 2007 where humanists are to meet to pay homage to the African ancestors through their song and witnessing. San Juan de Ulúa was the door of entry for hundreds of thousands of enslaved Africans during the Spanish colonial period which lasted around three hundred years in that region of the continent now a part of Mexico. This foremost chapter of the history of the diverse African presence and permanence in Mexico has been kept silent. The souls of these ancestors are trapped in oblivion, official negation and the Eurocentric account of the facts that has dominated Mexican history. The common thread for these events will be "Marronage and Manumission in the Americas: an Alternate Vision of Planetary History."
The first "Noche de Candela" is scheduled from 7:00 to 10:00 pm September 15, 2006 at the "Duke Center for Multicultural Affairs" at the Bryan Student Center 120 Science Drive, Durham, NC 27708. Campus West.
Participants include Trinbagonian author, critic and Howard professor Dr. Ian Isidore Smart who will speak on Carnival; Dominican poet and critic, NCCU professor Dr. Johnny Webster who will read poetry from his anthology Pies horadados (Santo Domingo: Talleres, 2000) and present the Cuban documentary El alacrán (Dir. Gloria Rolando; La Habana: TV Latina, 1999); Ethiopian artist, NCCU Professor Achameleh Debela who will present some images from ALARA 2006 in Veracruz; NCCU Professor Kimberly Hernández who will speak of the production of Padre Glyn Jemmott's DVD interview; critic and author Dr. Marco Polo Hernández Cuevas from NCCU who will be the MC and read from his unpublished poetry anthology: "Eternity".

Coyote, Mulatto, Negro
The Indigenous* community need go no further than the baptism records of the late 18th century
and early 19th century to find that a significant percentage of the population was Black. The
scribes had many terms to describe the percentages of a persons racial lineage:
1. Mestizo: Spanish father and Indian mother
2. Castizo: Spanish father and Mestizo mother
3. Espomolo: Spanish mother and Castizo father
4. Mulatto: Spanish and black African
5. Moor: Spanish and Mulatto
6. Albino: Spanish father and Moor mother
7. Throwback: Spanish father and Albino mother
8. Wolf: Throwback father and Indian mother
9. Zambiago: Wolf father and Indian mother
10. Cambujo: Zambiago father and Indian mother
11. Alvarazado: Cambujo father and Mulatto mother
12. Borquino: Alvarazado father and Mulatto mother
13. Coyote: Borquino father and Mulatto mother
14. Chamizo: Coyote father and Mulatto mother
15. Coyote-Mestizo: Cahmizo father and Mestizo mother
16. Ahi Te Estas: Coyote-Mestizo father and Mulatto mother
My eyes were opened widely when I found out my paternal GGG-Grandmother,
Maria Benita del Refugio Miranda (dob: January 7, 1801), pages (1) (2) from the
Tepetongo, Zacatecas area was called a "Coyote." Then I discovered others from this
area were referred to as Mulatto and Negro. On my maternal side I found that
my Mt-DNA halogroup was L1a which also pointed me to this description:
"This haplogroup dates to approximately 40,000 years ago, and is detected in
highest frequency in sub-equatorial Africa."
We as members of the Indigenous* peoples of the Americas need to open our eyes
and realize that a very high percentage of us should look on members of the Black Race
not only as our fellow brothers in the human race, but also as possible "Primos" as
common blood courses through our veins.
Coming soon to the Nuestra Familia Unida Podcast Project will be poetry and educational material of the highest possible level to discuss the African presence and life in Colonial Mexico and Latin America.
*(as in Latina/Latino, Hispanic, Chicana/Chicano, Mexicana/Mexicano, and all other descriptors identifying the peoples of the America's and Western Hemisphere.)
