<p>I picked up this book because of the title; I&#8217;m a big fan of the word &#8220;Gringo.&#8221; And for those of you who are about to get offended, know that I am the daughter of a self-proclaimed &#8220;gringo&#8221; and am a half &#8220;gringa&#8221; myself; to me the word just means someone from the US of A.</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesa_Boudin">Chesa Boudin</a>&#8216;s memoir recounts his adventures throughout Latin American during a 9 year stretch. Boudin first arrived in Guatemala to learn Spanish, but eventually visited Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. For each country he recounts some of the country&#8217;s history and current situation. And amazingly Boudin happens to find himself in the middle of many of the region&#8217;s unfolding news stories. He was in Chile during 9/11, and was in Buenos Aires when Argentina&#8217;s economy collapsed. He spent some time in Caracas while Chavez was seeking reelection in 2006, and visited Peace Communities in Colombia. In Ecuador he describes the intense socio-economic divisions in the country, and in Bolivia he talks to miners who recount the hardship of their work.</p>
<p>In general this is another story of another &#8220;gringo&#8221; traveling through the region, there are plenty of those memoirs out there already, but what sets this one apart is that Boudin is the son of two former Weather Underground member, and his background clearly permeated everything he sees. Boudin isn&#8217;t one of those self absorbed &#8220;gringos&#8221; traveling while trying to discover their roots or who think they already know everything about the region, instead he openly acknowledges that his outside status often gets him amazing deals; He even has a name of this, it&#8217;s the &#8220;gringo wild card!&#8221; The gringo wild card allowed him to cross international boarders without hassles, got him the best seats on long bus rides, and allowed him to befriend people from every soci0-economic background.</p>
<p>All in all a good read.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Empece a leer este libro por el título, me encanta la palabra &#8220;Gringo&#8221;. Y para aquellos de ustedes que están a punto de ofenderse, sepan que yo soy la hija de un auto-proclamado &#8220;gringo&#8221; y soy mitad &#8220;gringa.&#8221; Para mí, la palabra simplemente significa alguien de los EE.UU.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Las memorias <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesa_Boudin">Chesa Boudin</a> relata sus aventuras por América Latina durante un trecho de 9 años. Boudin llegó por primera vez a Guatemala para aprender españoly durante el transcurso de los años termina visitando Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile y Argentina. Para cada país Boudin narra parte de su historia y la situación actual. Y sorprendentemente Boudin logra encontrarse en medio del  despliegue de noticias en la zona. Estuvo en Chile durante el 11 de septiembre, y estuvo en Buenos Aires cuando la economía de Argentina se desplomó. Pasó algún tiempo en Caracas mientras que Chávez buscaba su reelección en el 2006, y visitó las comunidades de paz en Colombia. En el Ecuador describen las intensas divisiones socio-económicas del país, y en Bolivia habla con los mineros que relatan las dificultades de su trabajo. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">En general esta es otra historia de otro “gringo” viajando a través de la región, y ya hay un montón de estas memorias por ahí, pero lo que distingue a esta es que Boudin es el hijo de dos ex-miembros del Weather Underground, y sus antecedentes claramente filtran todo lo que ve. Boudin no es otro “gringo&#8221; absorto en si mismo que viajan para tratar de descubrir sus raíces o quien cree que ya sabe todo sobre la región. Boudin reconoce abiertamente que recibe trato preferencial por ser extranjero; incluso tiene un nombre para este fenómeno, ¡la &#8220;carta fantástica del gringo!&#8221; La “carta fantástica del gringo&#8221; le permitió cruzar fronteras internacionales sin problemas, le consiguió los mejores asientos en viajes largos por bus, y le permitió entablar amistad con personas de todas las clases socio-económicas. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">En definitiva un buen libro.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">Based on the belief that American popular culture is shaping a new global environment which each day looks more hegemonic, the <a title="Biblioteca Nacional Venezuela" href="http://www.bnv.bib.ve/">National Library of Venezuela</a> has decided to fight back. Under the direction of <a title="Fernando Baez" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_B%C3%A1ez">Fernando Báez</a>, the National Library of Venezuela will now try to fight what they believe is a global commercialization of world libraries, an effort, they believe is spearheaded by the Library of Congress in the USA. This project wishes to expand the country’s network of public libraries, promoting nation-wide reading, and build a National Digital Library.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Fernando Báez is the author of the world wide best seller &#8220;Historia universal de la destrucción de libros,&#8221; (Universal History of the Destruction of Books) and &#8220;La destrucción cultural de Iraq&#8221; (The cultural Destruction of Iraq) which made him a persona non grata in the USA.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Granted that this program could just as well limit local diversity, it is interesting to see a formal attempt at preserving local flavor. We&#8217;ll have to keep an eye on this one to see how it unfolds.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can read the press release (in Spanish) from the National Library of Venezuela <a title="Biblioteca Nacional Venezuela " href="http://www.bnv.bib.ve/desplegar_noticia.php?id=114">here</a>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Con base en la creencia de que la cultura popular estadounidense está dando forma a un nuevo entorno mundial que cada día se vuelve más hegemónica, la <a href="http://www.bnv.bib.ve/">Biblioteca Nacional de Venezuela</a> ha decidido crear oposición. Bajo la dirección de <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_B%C3%A1ez">Fernando Báez</a>, la Biblioteca Nacional de Venezuela ahora tratará de luchar contra lo que creen que es una comercialización global de las bibliotecas del mundo, un esfuerzo que creen que está encabezado por la Biblioteca del Congreso de los EE.UU. Este proyecto quiere ampliar la red de bibliotecas públicas del país, la promover la lectura a lo largo de la nación, y construir una Biblioteca Digital Nacional. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Fernando Báez es el autor del “best-seller” mundial &#8220;Historia Universal de la Destrucción de Libros y &#8220;La Destrucción Cultural de Iraq,&#8221; cosa que lo convirtió en personaje non grata en los EE.UU. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Concedido que este programa bien podría limitar la diversidad local, es interesante ver un intento formal de preservar el sabor local. Vamos a tener que mantener un ojo sobre éste proceso para ver cómo se desarrolla. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Usted puede leer el comunicado de prensa de la Biblioteca Nacional de Venezuela <a href="http://www.bnv.bib.ve/desplegar_noticia.php?id=114">aquí</a>.</span></p>
