(2019). 520 $a "History is often viewed from the top down; powerful elites are at center stage. This book instead examines a century-long process of socio-economic change from the bottom up, primarily through the experiences of one woman, Esperanza Ruiz (born in 1922), and four generations of her family. They tell stories about the nature and impacts of these changes on their lives and on their highland community in central Panama. This view from the bottom up shows how ordinary people, through their choices and actions, are affected by and, in turn, can influence how history unfolds. Readers see Esperanza's family as both victims and protagonists in their histories. Born into rural poverty with limits on their options, they still find small openings for actions to try to improve their circumstances. Sometimes successful, sometimes not, they survive or move ahead by drawing on their only abundant resource: each other. Based on twenty field visits over the course of fifty years, Esperanza Speaks is the result of a dedicated anthropologist's long-term engagement with the individuals of a community, and a beautiful example of ethnographic storytelling"--Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic formats. 600 10 $a Ruiz, Esperanza, $d 1922- 600 10 $a Ruiz, Esperanza, $d 1922- $x Family. 600 16 $a Ruiz, Esperanza, $d 1922- 600 16 $a Ruiz, Esperanza, $d 1922- $x Famille. 650 0 $a Globalization $z Loma Bonita (Cocle) $z Loma Bonita (Cocle) 651 0 $a Loma Bonita (Cocle, Panama) $x Economic conditions $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Loma Bonita (Cocle, Panama) $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Loma Bonita (Cocle, Panama) $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Loma Bonita (Cocle, Panama) $v Biography. 650 6 $a Mondialisation $z Loma Bonita (Cocle) $z Loma Bonita (Cocle) 651 6 $a Loma Bonita (Cocle, Panama) $x Conditions economiques $y 20e siecle. 651 6 $a Loma Bonita (Cocle, Panama) $x Conditions sociales $y 20e siecle. 651 6 $a Loma Bonita (Cocle, Panama) $x M¿urs et coutumes $y 20e siecle. 651 6 $a Loma Bonita (Cocle, Panama) $v Biographies. 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Globalization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00943532 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a Panama $z Loma Bonita (Cocle) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01324954 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 2 $a Biography 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 rvmgf 776 08 $i Online version: $a Rudolf, Gloria. $t Esperanza speaks. $d Toronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, 2021 $z 9781487594718 $z 9781487594718 $w (OCoLC)1237654866 830 0 $a Teaching culture. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024703.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=466AB6540CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
