BOOK PRESENTATION BY AUTHOR:
Lewis Erenburg
The Rumble in the Jungle: Muhammad Ali and George Foreman on the Global Stage
MONDAY, MARCH 9, 5 PM, FREE
The 1974 fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, staged in the young nation of Zaire and dubbed the Rumble in the Jungle, was arguably the biggest sporting event of the twentieth century. The Rumble in the Jungle orbits around Ali and Foreman, placing them at the convergence of the American Civil Rights movement and the Great Society, the rise of Islamic and African liberation efforts, and the ongoing quest to cast off the shackles of colonialism. With his far-reaching take on sports, music, marketing, and mass communications, Erenberg shows how one boxing match became nothing less than a turning point in 1970s culture.
Lewis A. Erenberg is professor of history at Loyola University of Chicago.

TALK:
MINING in EARLY COLONIAL OAXACA
Presented by David Gitlitz
TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 5 PM
MX$90 (M) MX$130 (NM)
This talk will review the history of mining in Mexico prior to the arrival of Europeans, the earliest attempts by settlers to locate the sources of silver and gold, their struggles to mine it, and the 1550s Mexican innovations in refining metallic ores that changed the course of mining world-wide. The description how the early Mexican mining haciendas were laid out and how their various parts worked will help you have a knowledgeable eye when you visit colonial mining reales all over Mexico. The talk is based on David's book, Living in Silverado: Secret Jews in the Mining Towns of Colonial Mexico, published in fall, 2018, by the University of New Mexico Press, will be available for purchase at this talk.
David Gitlitz worked for a number of universities in the US, Latin America, and Europe as a professor (literature, history, anthropology) and an administrator (program director, department chair, dean, academic vice president). His writing, some of it in conjunction with his late wife Linda Davidson, has been on topics of Spanish culture and literature, pilgrimages and holy places, Spanish-Jewish interrelations, and Renaissance cuisine. His first trip to Oaxaca was in 1960 (!), and he's been living full time in Santa Cruz Etla now for five years and considers it his home for the duration.

BOOK PRESENTATION BY AUTHOR:
Dr. Cheryl Claassen
Religion in Sixteenth Century Mexico:
A Guide to Aztec and Spanish Beliefs and Practices
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 5 PM, FREE
This book examines the religious history of both Spanish Catholicism and Aztecs and other central Mexican groups and then focuses on the 16th century amalgamation of these two sets of beliefs. A lengthy essay pulls these elements together in rough detail. It is followed by 135 keywords, each treated with details from 15th century Aztec, 15th century Catholic and 16th century New Spain beliefs and practices. What comes across is a constant negotiation between native elites and Catholic missionaries. Surprises are to be found in the use of natives to spread the gospel, the extent of the Catholic laboratory in New Spain in the wake of the Protestant Reformation and the lengths to which the missionaries and the Catholic church negotiated the natives' experience. This talk will focus on the early missionaries' efforts to recapture the Primitive Church and the Church's efforts to curtail their liberties.
Dr. Cheryl Claassen received a PHD in Anthropology at Harvard in 1982. She has spent her career teaching in the anthropology department at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. Author or editor of 12 books, her latest is Religion in Sixteenth Century Mexico: A Guide to Aztec and Spanish Beliefs and Practices to be published by Cambridge University Press.

CINCO SENORES MINE RUINS
THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 9 AM - 6 PM
MX$350 (M) MX$400 (NM)
The Spanish conquistadores came to the New World seeking fame and fortune. The Aztec Great Speaker, Monctezuma II, told Cortés that most of his gold came from Oaxaca, which prompted Cortés to claim this region of Mexico as his personal fiefdom. Today’s tour will take us through the ruins of the 18th century Cinco Señores hacienda near Lachatao.
Motion sickness alert! The drive to and from the mountains may make some people queasy.
Lunch at a trout restaurant on the way back to Oaxaca. (Note: tour price does not include lunch.)

TALK:
LaSalle/OLL Spanish Language Presentation
COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE TEAMS REBUILDING THE ISTMUS
BRIGADA DE APOYO COMUNITARIO RECONSTRUYENDO EL ISTMO
Presented by Ing Jose Adrian Villanueva Ortiz
FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 5 PM, FREE
This talk will be presented in Spanish with no English translation.
The geographical position of Mexico means it has faced the impact of many natural disasters and as a result of these the country has incurred heavy loss of life and material well being for its inhabitants. Mexico has faced this adversity and has come together, at those times, as one nation. All working together for the common good. This was the case of the September 7, 2017 earthquake of magnitud 8.2 with its epicenter in the Gulf of Tehuantepec.
This talk will address the efforts of LaSalle University, based on its core values of Faith, Fraternity, and Service creating teams to assist in rebuilding the communities in the Istmus that were affected by this natural phenomenon.

LECTURE:
SAINT THOMAS and the FIRE SERPENT:
Prehispanic Rock Art in Santo Tomás Jalieza, Oaxaca
FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 5 PM
MX$90 (M) MX$130 (NM)
Presented by Dr. Robert Markens, Archaeologist, Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
Santo Tomás Jalieza is a traditional Zapotec town on the road to the Friday market center of Ocotlán. Tourists stop there to buy weavings made by the town’s women on backstrap looms. Less well known is the fact that Santo Tomás was a major center of urban development during the Prehispanic era. Lying in a field at several kilometers from the town center is a boulder covered with enigmatic designs which, over the years, has aroused the curiosity of historians, archaeologists and the public alike. Come to the lecture and learn of the foundational myth it transmits and how the Spaniards succeeded in erasing it from the collective memory of the town’s residents.
