Bernal Diaz del Castillo Bernal Diaz was born in 1492 or 1498 to Maria Diaz Rejón and Francisco Diaz del Castillo, a regidor (council member) of the town of Medina del Campo, in Castilla y León. The family was distinguished but not wealthy. In 1514, Bernal went to seek his fortune in America with Pedrarias Dávila (Pedro Árias de Ávila), Bishop Fonseca's newly appointed governor of Castilla del Oro. A cruel and unscrupulous schemer, Pedrarias excelled at extorting riches by torturing native rulers, looting gems and gold from their graves, and eliminating potential rivals.

Mariachi Music Mariachi music is a widely admired genre in the world now, but just recently it has risen in popularity. The word “mariachi” either means “marriage” in French or is an indigenous word for a wooden stage used by musical group performances. Before European conquest, natives used rattles, drums, flutes, and conch horns for religious occasions. When the Spanish arrived, they brought along violins, guitars, harps, brass horns, woodwind instruments, and colonial dancing, which eventually blended with the music of the natives. With these new additions, indigenous peoples and mestizos began to play European instruments along with their own musical inventions.

Studies show that Cuban Americans, despite enjoying the resources to maintain a healthy lifestyle, more than 75% consume too much junk food (Burroughs Peña, Patel, Rodríguez Leyva, Khan, & Laurence Sperling, 2012). More than 80% of Cubans are Roman Catholics, and the rest are Protestants, Jews, and believers in the African Cuban practice of Santería, which combine Roman Catholicism with ancient Yoruba tribal beliefs and practices, another African Cuban religion. Any kind of religious belief was suppressed in the early revolutionary period in Cuba, because they opposed to the communist system, restrictions were lessened in the 1990s (“Cuba,” 2016a). Santeria followers performed rituals to their saints (orishas), with offerings of objects, animal sacrifices, and chants.

(pg. 8, Delgado, Kevin) All popular religions have a main location where people often pilgrimage to, where they can pay their respect to highly respected elders, and visit sacred natural locations. We see an example of this when we talked about the sacred Ceiba tree in Cuba, as followers of Santeria often pay homage to it. With this idea of Santeria being more “pure” in Cuba than in other countries, Santeria is gaining an “authenticity” that validates it as a religious practice and is losing its association as a demonized, evil practice among those who know nothing of its

Phase 1 of the guerrilla warfare principles emphasise on the importance of popular support, which Castro strongly related to. Additionally, the warfare encouraged troops to fight on land that is not only readily available, but an area rebels have cohesive knowledge on. Guerrilla warfare has proved to be successful method of initiating liberty on numerous occasions. It worked for Tito in Yugoslavia, the Viet Cong in Vietnam and certainly for Fidel Castro in Cuba.

Mexican people’s view of Catholicism differs from European that is why it is important to compare it with the verses from the Bible, understand their interpretation and find its motives in the novel. The author of “Pedro Paramo” Juan Rulfo raises Mexican Christianity elements all over the novel. According to Christianity, a deceased person goes to Hell, Heaven or purgatory after death. The purgatory is a place, where souls, that are sinful for Heaven, but too pure for Hell, go to be purged of their sins (de Chaparro 2007, 13; Espinosa 1910, 407).

The case study taken as example here is represented by a complex missionary work which tells the story of the conquest and conversion to Catholicism of the indigenous people located in the present-day Northeastern coast of Venezuela: Conversión de Píritu de indios cumanagotos y palenques, y otros (Madrid, Juan García Infanzón, 1690). It was written by Matías Ruíz Blanco (1643-1705/1708?), a Spanish missionary sent by the Crown to pacify and to evangelize the Cumanagot and Pariagot people in the area. Together with other thirteen friars, he was sent as new lector of philosophy and theology to evangelize and to convert the Amerindian people of New Andalucía, Cumana, the banks of the Orinoco river and other parts of Eastern Venezuela.
