These glimpses of the past, delivered orally by a group of long-time residents of Bernalillo and only later set to paper by Garcia, brim with expressions of pride punctuated by sadness over irreversible loss. Reading the genuine, understated emotions of these 15 elders gives the sensation of sitting in their salas on a Sunday afternoon and listening to them recount their being anchored in another time, now foreign to most of their descendants and successors. It is instructive for all of us to be reminded how recently and how radically Hispanic New Mexico, represented here by the town of Bernalillo, has been transformed, for better or worse. - Richard Flint, Author of No Settlement, No Conquest: a History of the Coronado Entrada History conveys great knowledge and wisdom for those who are patient enough to listen. Nasario Garcia has listened intently to the old-timers of his native Bernalillo, sharing their words in both English and Spanish for all to understand and appreciate. The result is his twentieth oral history book, each a true gem for all students of New Mexico history and culture. - Richard A. Melzer, Author of New Mexico: A Celebration of the Land of Enchantment The living testimony of the elders of Bernalillo emerges under the sensitive ear and gifted pen of one of New Mexico's finest storytellers. Between the light and dark, Bernalillo is born, a continuum of wisdom into words, all telling of the profundity of a place. Garcia's metaphor of darkness-where beauty may also sit--invites an active vigilance born from a storied introspection. -Estevan Rael-Galvez, Vice President of Historic Sites, National Trust for Historic Preservation, Washington, D.C.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50287750381841,"sku":"CIN1936744104G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1936744104.jpg?v=1750867670"},{"product_id":"brujerias-book-nasario-garcia-9780896726079","title":"Brujerias","description":"He got as close as he could to observe the spectacle; his eyes could hardly believe what he saw.

People claim to have seen lights in the long-empty homes. So one night, when Natividad sees lights in the houses, he decides to go see for himself. Do witches really exist? As he reaches the haunted area, his horse begins to act strange, and he feels spooked too. Soon he hears a scary voice say: Ah, silly man, how could you be so stupid to come here? Don't you know who I am? And before he knows it, he and his terrified horse are racing home with a ball of fire nipping at their heels. In this bilingual collection of stories for intermediate readers, native New Mexican Nasario Garcia writes the stories he heard as a child while gathered around the potbelly stove on cold winter nights, at campfires during cattle roundups, or while working in the fields at his family's ranch. Narrated by a young boy named Junie Lopez, the stories will send shivers up kids' spines while capturing the essence of New Mexican folklore. In the Land of Enchantment, santos--carved wooden saints like the Holy Child of Atocha--talk to people and express their desires. Witches disguised as small birds known as coquimbo owls fly around the countryside in the deepest, darkest night. And if you should encounter Maruja la bruja, beware  She might want to make a deal with you. Based on the oral tradition and superstitions of a previous generation, these stories in English and Spanish will both entertain and provide insight to a time when people lived a more rural life and winged creatures flitted over the countryside.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50389047083281,"sku":"CIN1558855440G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1558855440.jpg?v=1751150759"},{"product_id":"comadres-book-nasario-garcia-9781889921150","title":"Comadres","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50523960115473,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50523961753873,"sku":"CIN1889921157VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1889921157.jpg?v=1750866755"},{"product_id":"brujerias-book-nasario-garcia-9781682830086","title":"Brujerías","description":"He got as close as he could to observe the spectacle; his eyes could hardly believe what he saw.

As folklorist Nasario García explains in his introduction to this collection, falling in with the voices of laughter and comic relief is a timeless, vital aspect of Hispanic culture. !Chistes! brings together for the first time in English and regional Spanish a medley of orally gathered humorous anecdotes from northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. The chistes range in form from practical jokes, pranks, slips-of-the-tongue, hyperbole, solecisms, slapstick, and double entendres. True for most of the villages and towns represented in this collection, Hispanic humour is a function of folks who understand how to deal with difficult times with verve and at time self-deprecation, places with a strong communal identification, where everyone knows everybody's business and tells it with good-natured fun; where nothing is off limits, not even the church; where local politics takes it on the chin and farm animals provide the punch. The original Spanish versions of these tales are particularly flavourful for their colourful vernacular found uniquely in the region covered.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51694693024017,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51694694301969,"sku":"CIN0890134316VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0890134316.jpg?v=1750947920"},{"product_id":"clarita-s-clay-pot-la-olla-de-barro-de-clarita-book-nasario-garcia-9781632937353","title":"Clarita's Clay Pot (La olla de barro de Clarita)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeven-year old Junie López accompanies his grandma Lucinda on an adventurous trip walking from Bernalillo to the Pueblo of Sandía three miles away to visit her best friend Clarita and to participate in the yearly celebration of the San Antonio fiestas.
