Jalapeno Chiles, Mexican Americans and Other Hot Stuff

A Peoples' Cultural Identity

By: Raoul Lowery Contreras

Controversy, passion, and a totally new viewpoint are what Raoul Lowery Contreras brought to more than 200 American newspapers in 1988 when Washington, D.C.'s Hispanic Link distributed his inaugural Op-Ed columns. Contreras is so controversial and passionate that his views draw pain, rage, attacks, complaints and compliments from myriad critics and friends. During a one hour radio program, he was called a "paid agent of the CIA," a "Sandinista Communist," a "traitor," a "patriot," a "criminal," a "sell-out," and, a "coconut," brown on the outside and white on the inside. That was just by his family. The essays and columns in this collection were distributed by Creator's Syndicate and the New York Times Syndicate's New American News Service and published throughout the United States in newspapers of all sizes, from weeklies to massive metropolitican dailies read by millions. There is a new paradigm of politics and issues in the United States, the Hispanic Paradigm, and Raoul Lowery Contreras has chronicled it for all to read, absorb and be affected by.

White Anglo-Saxon Protestants (Wasps) and Mexicans

By: Raoul Lowery Contreras

This book is published by Floricanto Press. www.FloricantoPress.comwww.LatinoBooks.NetRaoul Lowery Contreras has written a clearly detailed and documented response to misguided, if not racist, depictions of Mexicans, Mexican laborers, in particular, and Latinos in general. The President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, the former Chairman of the Harvard Political Science Department, Dr. Samuel Huntington, and Professor Emeritus Victor Davis Hanson have laid bare critiques of Mexican immigrants as being the most substantial political and cultural challenge to America. The latter two wrote scurrilous and intellectually fatuous books and articles that scream racism from the highest levels of academia. Both challenge Mexicans for being unwilling to "assimilate," and attack them with scurrilous claims that they refuse to speak English, vilify the Roman Catholic Church and Catholics, and declare that Mexicans are uneducable, even though Hispanic school drop-outs have plunged in numbers and college matriculation has skyrocketed to the point that Hispanics have displaced non-Hispanic Whites in the percentage enrolling in college.The author brings an enlightening and vigorous defense of Mexicans and Mexican immigrants, addressing misconceptions, erroneous claims, and providing a comparative analysis of the Mexican immigration and other groups through American history. Raoul Lowery Contreras, a graduate from San Diego State University, currently writes for Fox News Latino, The Hill, American Thinker, Daily Caller, CalNews.com, and MOSH.US. His articles have also appeared in Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Boston Globe, San Diego Union, San Francisco Chronicle, Houston Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, Miami Herald, and Sacramento Bee. He published with Floricanto Press Murder in the Mountains, 2016. He was a political consultant for Ronald Reagan, the Governor of N.Y., and Congressman Darrell Issa (CA).

Murder in the Mountains

By: Raoul Lowery Contreras

On a bitterly cold February night of 1992, the Armenian government ordered its troops to destroy an innocent town of 6,000 people in the Caucasus Mountains. The town was Khojaly in Azerbaijan's Karabakh region. Surrounded on three sides by Armenian troops and their allies, the town was destroyed in less than three hours by bombardment, tanks and hundreds of attackers on foot. Khojaly's people were chased down and those not fast enough - women and children and the elderly - were massacred in what the Armenians claimed was a "humanitarian corridor." It was a killing field for hundreds of unarmed men, women and children. It was a preplanned and organized ambush that felled men, women and child victims in open fields with no cover. The Human Rights Watch called it "the largest massacre in the conflict" between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Khojaly was one of the first atrocities of the war waged by Armenia against Azerbaijan in the early 1990s eventually resulting in the illegal military invasion and total ethnic cleansing of twenty percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory. It is representative of a conflict frozen in time; a conflict that has no international outrage to push for a solution. This was only the beginning of years of attacks and terror. The story is real, supported by undisputed facts and captured by eyewitness reports. The story of Khojaly should be told so that such human brutalities are never repeated. "We live in the Age of the Tweet, and in a nation and world with the attention span of a hummingbird. Conflicts near and far command great attention then suddenly disappear down the memory hole. In Murder in the Mountains, journalist Raoul Lowery Contreras takes readers to little known Azerbaijan and Armenia in fierce conflict for centuries. The author delves into the complicated regional history but focuses on the town of Khojaly in the Caucasus Mountains on a cold night in February 1992. He charts the conflict there and its aftermath, providing documentation for human rights violations. The account is certain to be controversial but, agree or not, here is the evidence of the ongoing struggle of memory against forgetting. Murder in the Mountains also serves as a reminder that, as Alexander Solzhenitsyn said, the line between good and evil does not pass between nations, parties or classes but runs straight down the middle of every human heart." Lloyd Billingsley, author of Bill of Writes: Dispatches from the Political Correctness Battlefield and Hollywood Party: Stalinist Adventures in the American Movie Industry. Raoul Lowery Contreras is an internationally recognized author who writes regularly for The Hill, Fox News Latino and dozens of publications around the globe. His passion is finding untold stories that can foster change in our world. He was formerly with the New American News Service of the New York Times Syndicate. Contreras, a former United States Marine with a deep knowledge of international affairs with a distinctly American viewpoint around freedom and liberty, is a rare commentator that tells true stories in a passionate way. This story of terror and war crimes resonated with him as a story that needs to be told.

Romancero Gitano

By: Federico Garcia Lorca

El Romancero gitano, The Gypsy Ballads is a lyric work, which Lorca began writing in 1923 and was published 1928. This Romancero is comprised of eighteen folk ballads about themes, such as night, death, blood, sky and moon. The overriding theme is the Gypsy folk world. These ballads represent a synthesis of popular or folk poetry and high lyrics, which is displayed in Andalucia and the Gypsy in a mythic and metaphoric style. This work reflects the sufferings of the Gypsy people, who are portrayed as persecuted by authorities and their struggle against this repressive governmental overreach. El Romancero gitano, The Gypsy Ballads, es una obra poetica de Federico Garcia Lorca, publicada en 1928. Este Romancero esta compuesta por dieciocho romances con temas como la noche, la muerte, la sangre, el cielo, la luna. Todos los poemas tienen algo en comun, tratan de la cultura gitana. Representa una gran sintesis entre la poesia popular y la alta, transcurre entre dos temas prmordiales, Andalucia y los gitanos, tratados en forma metaforica y mitica. La obra refleja las penas de un pueblo que vive al margen de la sociedad y que se ve perseguido por los representantes de la autoridad, y por su lucha contra esa autoridad represiva. El poeta habla: ...pienso construir varios romances con lagunas, romances con montanas, romances con estrellas; una obra misteriosa y clara, que sea como una flor (arbitraria y perfecta como una flor): toda perfume! Quiero sacar de la sombra algunas ninas arabes que jugaran por estos pueblos y perder en mis bosquecillos liricos a las figuras ideales de los romancillos anonimos. Figurate un romance que en vez de lagunas tenga cielos. Hay nada mas emocionante! Este verano, si Dios me ayuda con sus palomitas, hare una obra popular y andalucisima. Voy a viajar un poco por estos pueblos maravillosos, cuyos castillos, cuyas personas parece que nunca han existido para los poetas y... Basta ya de Castilla!!.
