New Mexico's night sky generated speculation about alien visitation for centuries before the Roswell Incident of 1947. But the luminous spheres known as Bolas de Lumbre weren't the only evidence of unnatural phenomena in play. Locals have grown accustomed to stacking an unending list of questions against a disquieting tally of strange objects, unexplained sightings and unsolved mysteries that perplex scientists and confound skeptics alike. The original inhabitants of the land confidently claimed the distant stars as their ancestral home, but there is nothing remote about the fear many of the state's modern residents feel for the "Evil Eye" or a host of other supernatural threats. From notorious body snatchers to obscure ancient rituals, Ray John de Aragón examines New Mexico's eerie heritage.

Latino folklore comprises a kaleidoscope of cultural traditions. This compelling three-volume work showcases its richness, complexity, and beauty. Latino folklore is a fun and fascinating subject to many Americans, regardless of ethnicity. Interest in—and celebration of—Latin traditions such as Día de los Muertos in the United States is becoming more common outside of Latino populations. Celebrating Latino Folklore: An Encyclopedia of Cultural Traditions provides a broad and comprehensive collection of descriptive information regarding all the genres of Latino folklore in the United States, covering the traditions of Americans who trace their ancestry to Mexico, Spain, or Latin America. The encyclopedia surveys all manner of topics and subject matter related to Latino folklore, covering the oral traditions and cultural heritage of Latin Americans from riddles and dance to food and clothing. It covers the folklore of 21 Latin American countries as these traditions have been transmitted to the United States, documenting how cultures interweave to enrich each other and create a unique tapestry within the melting pot of the United States.

In New Mexico, people have a keen interest in the villages of their ancestors and derive part of their identity from their villages. Although the villages of the lower Rio Grande, the Rio Abajo, have been a significant part of New Mexico, they have not been studied as often as villages in the upper Rio Grande, the Rio Arriba. This book is an effort to begin to fill a gap that has long existed in scholarly studies and histories. It is also intended to appeal to an audience that enjoys local New Mexico history and has a keen interest in the Rio Abajo region, especially the people and the politics of Valencia County. Covered in this work are some of the notable people of the area, i.e., Col. J. Francisco Chaves, Henry Connelly and the Oteros, who had significant roles in the history of nineteenth century New Mexico. Rarely have their lives been covered in this detail, especially in the context of their region and villages. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Francelle Alexander is a native New Mexican, having grown up in Albuquerque, both the South Valley and the North Valley. She attended UNM where she earned her B.A. and M.A. After a career in the Albuquerque Public Schools, she lived and worked overseas. For almost ten years, she was able to travel and study villages in Asia and Europe. Upon returning from abroad, she began extensive research on the villages of Peralta and Los Pinos (now Bosque Farms). COMMENTS ON THE BOOK "This book is the first that I have read that has put my family stories in the context of the history and geography of the region, linking everything together. It has answered so many questions and connected me to more of my family's history, which reinforces my love of family traditions and culture. This book will be invaluable to anyone studying New Mexico history."-Maria Toledo-Ifill, descendant of many families in Valencia County. "New Mexico is well known for its cities and its science, but the real heart of the state can be found in the little towns and villages that dot the landscape along the many "roads less traveled." It is in these communities that the vibrant traditions that define the New Mexico culture continue to thrive. Peralta and Los Pinos (now Bosque Farms) are two of these villages with rich histories that date back to the early nineteenth century. This landmark book is a must read for anyone who wants to experience New Mexico village life first hand and should be on every serious historian's bookshelf."-John Taylor, noted New Mexico historian and author.
