Asturian-American Migration Forum

Solo quería decir que he asistido a la proyección del documental "Mujeres en pie de guerra" y me ha encantado. Merece la pena verla. Una historia de la lucha de las mujeres contra el franquismo desde los últimos años de la Guerra Civil hasta los primeros setenta a través de los testimonios...

I've been following the conversation about the planned simposio for 2008. I think the idea fits very well with ideas that Kenya and Mark from the archives at U. of Southern Florida had. Wouldn't it be great to get a team of folks gathering histories? I think this is very do-able since we have a var...

Well Art, The difference is basically that the romería is celebrated in the afternoon, and the verbena is celebrated in the evening or by night (it can last until down).That's what say the R.A.E dictionary: romería . (De romero, peregrino). f. Viaje o peregrinación, especialmente la que se hace por ...

La verdad, Terechu, es que supuse que irías, pero no pude identificarte, y tu no sabes como soy yo, si no me hubiera gustado saludarte. Una pena. Y si, me sorprendió la cantidad de gente que acudió, no pensé que el tema interesase tanto. ------ It's true, Terechu, that I presumed you was going to ca...

I've seen the film this afternoon too and I was delighted. It was very amazing hearing the older asturian-americans from Spelter speaking in asturian. Not only the expressions but the acent was asturian, although they didn`t know how to say many things in asturian and they had to speak in english!. ...

A reflexion about Atheism. In one sense,the first atheists were the Christians, because they said that the pagan gods didn't really existed. The jews didn't said that there were an only god. They adored only a god, but there were others. The pagans (greeks, romans) adored their own gods but they adm...

I have recently read the tale "The mound" by H.P.Lovecraft. In this tale there is a character who is an asturian "hidalgo" from Luarca. Lovecraft seems to know where Asturias and that here the country people speak a "patois" or dialect called bable (although I have read...

Art, Yes, you are right. Although I'm sure that Carlos could explain you it much better than me, I'll tell you that it's a subject that many people in Spain critisize. It's the "closed lists" subject: you vote a party but not individual members of its. Each party propose a list of people w...

Ken, I regret having talk about sending Bush to jail, I was too excited and have fogotten where I was writting. And your are right, we have strong points of wiew and we can understand each other. Its also true that N.U will ever be weak if some nations have veto power. Yes, Saddam was a killer, who ...

Yes, Ken, I'm in Asturias, happily.Thanks for no using slang, and sorry for not having answered you before (and for my bad English). I don't have to propose any solution for Irak becouse there wasn't any problem before Bush's invasion. There weren't massive destruction weapons. There is a problem no...

Ken, I know Xose don't need any help but when I write you telling that Irak must be invaded because Sadam was a harmful dictator who kill his country men, I can kelp making you a question: why you Republican,- if you don't like mean dictators- didn't invade Chile to take away Pinochet in the eightie...

What do you think about this article? Artículo por Eduardo Haro Tecglen, El Pais, 15 de septiembre de 2004 Putin Muchos le ven como un nuevo Hitler. Los místicos creen que hay una ley que manda que las naciones han de pasar por un Hitler, como usted tuvo un Franco, los franceses un Pétain y los lati...

Tienes razón, Terechu, si la Armada Invencible no hubiera sido derrotada, Inglaterra habría pertenecido a..... Felipe II y su familia, como le pertenecían también Portugal (hasta que se independizó bajo el reinado de Felipe IV), Napoles, Milán, el Franco Condado y Flandés, además de toda América del...

En primer Muguias, lo de Alfonso II como vasallo de Carlomagno, creo que viene de un texto de Alcuino de York, sobre la vida de Carlomagno en la que se dice que en las cartas que le enviaba Alfonso se declaraba como famulo o pariente suyo. Eso se interpreta como un deseo de convertirse en vasallo de...
