	MSN Encarta - Guatemala
		During Guatemala’s civil war of the late 20th century, indigenous people were often caught in the crossfire between guerrillas and the government, or targeted by the military for repression and even massacres to discourage them from aiding the guerrillas.
		These are descendants of native Carib peoples and rebellious fl slaves from the Caribbean island of Saint Vincent, who fiercely resisted European domination and were deported by the British to the Central American coast in the 18th century.
		Ladinos often blend the clothing and musical styles of the two cultures, and eat dishes from both groups: wheat bread and processed foods on one hand, traditional corn tortillas and rice and beans on the other.

	World Jewry as a Polity
		The study of the Jewish people as a polity is a proper, if neglected, element in the corpus of Jewish studies and a worthy subject of political research generally.
		The Jewish people is a res publica with a commitment to a teaching and law, which its members are not free simply to alter as they wish but must be maintained to be faithful to principles.
		At this writing, the Jewish people is in the buildup period of the second generation of the postmodern epoch and is actively engaged in trying to work through a new constitutional synthesis, both political and religious.

		Ladino, otherwise known as Judeo-Spanish, is the spoken and written Hispanic language of Jews of Spanish origin.
		Ladino did not become a specifically Jewish language until after the expulsion from Spain in 1492 - it was merely the language of their province.
		Ladino was nowhere near as diverse as the various forms of Yiddish, but there were still two different dialects, which corresponded to the different origins of the speakers.

	The Jewish Agency and Other Worldwide Instrumentalities of the Jewish People
		According to Zionist theory, the WZO spoke for the Jewish people but in reality Zionist organizations in most diaspora communities were in the process of losing power and influence, thus making it impossible for them to speak for their communities.
		Curiously enough, some of the same people who are responsible for limiting the Agency's scope in their respective diaspora communities are members of the Board of Governors urging the Agency to embrace these new roles and, in that latter capacity, seem to have ignored this question.
		Beyond the second arena, there is a third, that of the Jewish people as a whole, the edah to use its classic Hebrew name, first applied to the people assembled as a polity in Mosaic times and subsequently used regularly (with its synonym, Knesset) throughout Jewish history.

	A Refutation of the Twenty-first Chapter of Stephen Birmingham's Book "The Grandees"
		The Ladino dialect could be defined and explained in as many ways as there may be scholars and students writing on this strange sounding Spanish.
		In the opinion of this writer who has spoken the Ladino dialect all his life, Ladino is basically Spanish as used exclusively by the Sephardim, the Spanish speaking Jews in the Diaspora, during the last four hundred years with extensive variations injected into it.
		Ladino among the youngest of our Sephardim is now disappearing fast and in all likelihood it will never return to them.

		The Ladino songs that her musical group, Flor de Serena (Siren’s Flower), will perform in "A Tapestry of Songs and Stories" at the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre on Sept. 19 are part entertainment and part a historical-cultural document of a Jewish community that was dispersed after the Spanish expulsion of 1492.
		"Ladino songs were really a woman’s repertoire, a Jewish woman’s tradition," said Paloma, whose Sephardic mother is Columbian and whose American father is from the Midwest.
		When she returned to Los Angeles, Paloma turned to her friend, guitarist Jordan Charnofsky, for whom, it turned out, Ladino is the nexus of all of his musical interests and training.

	HIDDEN HISTORY: Columbus 500 - Guatemala's killing fields
		For the Maya, 1992 is a chance to expose the history of brutality which they’ve endured, and to correct the myth of the stoic native who is passive in the face of oppression.
		Among the ladino (people of mixed Spanish and Indian blood) and the Spanish elite, Mayan defiance generates a savage paranoia.
		Instead of scattered huts on plots of family land, people were crowded into rows of houses hundreds of miles from their homes, beside Mayan neighbours who spoke different dialects.

		The data revealed that nonparticipation in literacy programs was one way indigenous people, from rural western Guatemala, responded to attempts to destroy their ethnic identity, native language, and sense and loyalty to their community.
		First, community was conceived by rural people as an ethnic unity that struggles against the outsider or ladino people.
		It is clear though, that indigenous people kept the tradition of community to preserve their ethnic identity against the ladino.

		It was natural that a people returning to a homeland from which it had been exiled for centuries should in the education of the younger generation place the emphasis on the love of the land.
		In the diaspora, he observed, a people yearned through the centuries for its distant homeland; the young generation of Israelis who have grown up in that homeland are now required to define their relationship to a people in the far-flung lands of the diaspora.

	DECOLONIZE!!!
		In Canada, people of mixed European and Anishinabe background are ordinarily referred to as metis, that is, “mixed.” In the United States, terms such as half-breed, half-blood and quarter-blood are most commonly used but, mustee (derived from mestizo) and even mulatto have been used in the South.
		People who possess a national or ethnic identity, no matter how much they have mixed historically with other peoples, can never be mestizo.
		The Bulgarian people, for example, have shifted their homeland, changed their language, changed their religion, changed their physical appearance (through interethnic marriage), and changed almost their total culture, but the Bulgarians are not mestizos, they are not outcasts, they are not a new nation, they are simply Bulgarians.

		For the most part they were a mysterious people to me, and even after I met some of them in the middle years of my life, they remained a people apart, Jews who were not REAL JEWS, because they spoke Ladino (another mystery) instead of Yiddish.
		Ladino is, as the young Damián described it, an archaic language.
		The fair-sized Ladino vocabulary to be found at the back of this book has definitions of many of the puzzling words in Ladino poetry.

		"When people think of Jewish music, I don't think they think of sexy, necessarily," said Aroeste, who has been described as "the Jewish Shakira" and who includes some belly-dancing as part of her live performances.
		"Most people who are using Ladino elements in their music are much older, and come from an ethnomusicologist tradition," she said.
		Purists won't necessarily love what Aroeste is doing with Ladino, but her goal is to reach a younger generation.

		This ability of Mayan peoples to resist, Lovell argues "is an important indication that Guatemala supported sizeable, well-organized populations when the Spaniards first invaded," (113) challenging a common idea in much of the Western scholarship that Indigenous peoples of the Americas were "uncivilized" and "primitive" because, among other things, they did not have social organizations.
		This is important considering that some scholars tend to romanticize Indigenous peoples either as "perfect subhumans," essentially born to struggle for social justice, or as "barbarian savages," living in unchanging traditional communities.
		Lovell says that for some people it is the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, for others the car crash that killed Princess Diana that will mark their lives forever.

		Most people are unaware that there is a Jewish Spanish dialect, but Spain had a large community of Sephardic Jews until 1492, when the Inquisition forced them to either convert to Christianity or leave the country.
		Like Yiddish, Ladino is in the process of dying out now, as Israel has brought back Hebrew as its national language, and Jewish communities elsewhere in the world have assimilated into the local cultures and languages.
		The lyrics run through various things which were given to the ancient Jewish people by God according to the teachings and traditions of Judaism, such as the Sabbath and the Torah, saying that each "would have been enough".
