La Historia de los Colores / The Story Of Colors: A Bilingual Folktale From The Jungles Of Chiapas Book

Well, one day old man Antonio is walking in the mountainous jungle of Chiapas with his friend Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos when he sees a macaw bird, its feathers blessed with each and every color, like a rainbow. The bird reminds the old man of a story that he thinks that his friend Marcos should know. It's the story of how the gods found all the colors in the world. Antonio sits down on the ground and begins-Once upon a time, of course, the world was just black and white with gray in between. Black and white and gray? The gods were understandably bored and angry, so they went looking for other colors to brighten the world for the people. This wonderful folktale reveals some of the down-to-earth wisdom of the indigenous peoples of Chiapas. At the same time, it provides us with a fresh perspective on the struggles of the people there. They fight to conserve their culture and a vision of the world which they see as flowering with holiness-a holiness that cannot be measured in dollars or defined by politics. The text for La Historia de los Colores is taken from the communiqu dated October 27, 1994 from Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos to the Mexican People. Originally published in Mexico with illustrations by Domitila Domnguez as La Historia de los Colores (c) 1996 by Colectivo Callejero, Guadalajara.Read More
