THAILAND BEAUTIFUL COOKBOOKAUTHENTIC RECIPES REGIO by William Warren

Cuba, New Mexico, was first settled in 1769. Originally known as Nacimiento, it was located on the northwestern edge of the Spanish Colonial Empire. It was very isolated and the people who settled Cuba seldom travelled to other areas due to the lack of roads and long distances between settlements. As a consequence, Cuba retained many of the traditions, practices and archaic language of the early Colonial Period until the mid-twentieth century. Only after World War I did this village emerge from its Colonial traditions and begin to acquire more modern amenities and practices. Different from many other small towns, it did not change because of outside forces but mostly because of the actions of people who had been away during World War I and came back wanting what they had experienced elsewhere. Antes is the Spanish word for before. When used by itself in casual conversation, it always refers to the way things were before the end of World War I. This book contains descriptions and photographs of the practices and activities of the people of Cuba in that earlier time. ESTHER V. CORDOVA MAY was born in Cuba, New Mexico, before World War I and experienced the world of Antes personally as a child. Several prior generations of her family also lived their entire lives in Cuba and surrounding villages. As a young woman, she left Cuba to pursue an education, have a family and develop a career. She earned a Master's degree in Folklore at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1981, Esther and her husband returned to Cuba to manage the family cattle ranch. She also continued to add to her storehouse of verbal accounts and photographs about the period before World War I, the world of Antes.
