telesurenglish.net | 2019-11-01
Mexico's Day of the Dead, which is celebrated on November 1 and 2, has its origins in ancient pre-Hispanic cultures. | For this holiday homes and cementeries are adorned with offerings to the souls of the deceased, who are expected to return from the "Mictlan", the "place where the dead live." | In a country where the memory of dozens of different pre-Hispanic cultures is still strong, ceremonies and rituals can be slightly different from town to town. | For instance, in the state of Quintana Roo, where the Mayan culture reached its splendor, people celebrate the "Hanal Pixan," in which children's souls are recei…

The fishermen stand thigh-deep in the muddy water as our boat pulls up to the shore, grass shushing against the hull. It is a still, cool morning and mist wicks off the river as the sun begins to rise above the trees. Down the beach, a white egret standing in the shallows takes flight in a burst of sound as the fishermen lift their net to reveal its glinting catch. Beside them, half-submerged, a plastic soda bottle noses purposefully past, toward the sea. | As I step onto shore, I notice more bits of plastic lying among the reeds, half-buried in the mud, as well as stained scraps of cloth, bits of packing foam, a…

Ashoka Mukpo | aclu.org | 2019-10-24
Two weeks ago, I traveled to northern Mexico along with Mexican photographer Guillermo Arias to meet with asylum-seekers who've been trapped at the southern U.S. border by Trump Administration policies. Neither of us was prepared for what we saw there. | We visited two cities — Ciudad Juarez and Matamoros — to track down people who had been placed into the deceptively misnamed "Migrant Protection Protocols" that have slammed America's door shut to people fleeing persecution and violence in their home countries. Before we arrived, we wondered whether the stories we'd read of kidnappings, assaults,…
