Annotated Bibliography
Gómez,
Fernando P., and Sergio C. Pagaza. Benito Juarez and the Mormon Connection
of the 19th Century = Benito Juárez Y La Conexión Mormona Del Siglo Diecinueve.
Mexico City, D.F., Mexico: Museo De Historia Del Mormonismo En México, 2007. Print. Gomez makes a
connection between an important and beloved president of Mexico and the LDS
church. It is little know that Juarez actually came into contact with members
of the church while he was in the United States for a brief amount of time.
This may have influenced him as he was the president of Mexico when the
colonies were formed. Hopefully this information will lighten the hearts of the
locals in the area I will be interviewing so that they will be more willing to
share their personal and family histories with me.
McNeil, Byron J. The
History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Mexico. San
Jose State University, 1990. Print. Bryon, in this work, seeks to understand
how the LDS church “has been able to attract and assimilate hundreds of
thousands of Mexican members into its church.” This is an interesting viewpoint
to research the history of Mormons in Mexico because it looks into the motives
of the Mexican people, and their affinity towards, the LDS church. This
research will prove very insightful to mine as I consider the conversion stories
of the early members within the Irapuato area.
Romney, Thomas Cottam. The
Mormon Colonies in Mexico. Salt Lake City, UT: University of Utah, 2005.
Print. Romney focuses on the first Mormon colonies within Mexico. He portrays
the time from the original settling of these colonies and of the exodus that
they were required to make to the United States. He also talks about their
return and history through the year 1938. The scope of the history and the
personal accounts will hopefully provide insight into the feelings of the
Mexican saints throughout their early years.
Tullis, F. LaMond. Mormons
in Mexico: The Dynamics of Faith and Culture. Logan, UT: Utah State UP,
1987. Print. “Mormons in Mexico” is probably the most thorough history compiled
of the LDS church in Mexico. It discusses everything from the motivation to
move to Mexico, to the Mormon colonies, to the Third Convention, down to the
present day. This book will give me a general idea of the background
information and circumstances of the LDS church in all of Mexico. Having such
knowledge will help me better put my history into context and will prove a
valuable source for my own work.
Whetten, LaVon Brown. Colonia
Juarez: Commemorating 125 Years of the Mormon Colonies in Mexico.
Bloomington, IN: AuthorHouse, 2010. Print. “Colonia Juarez” is one of the few
historical records that has been made of the LDS church within a specific and
localized area of Mexico. This is probably because it is definitely a more
well-known city, being one of the original colonies. This book will prove
useful to me as an example and a guide as I aim to complete a similar work. It
also gives me insight into the background of some of the original members in
Mexico which will be useful while I am writing the background of my history.
Young, Karl E. Ordeal
in Mexico; Tales of Danger and Hardship Collected from Mormon Colonists.
Salt Lake City, UT: Deseret Book, 1968. Print. Young focuses his book on the
exodus from the Mormon colony of Colonia Juarez. He considers it through the lens
of those early settlers who had previously gone through two other forced
exoduses, those being Missouri and Nauvoo. He did extensive research for his
book which will provide me with useful background information for my paper. The
record should also provide a look into the feelings that the early members have
concerning their Mexican experiences.
Stout, Wayne Dunham. A History of Colonia Dublan and Guadalupe Mexico. Salt Lake City: S.n., 1975. Print. This is an excellent history of Colonia Dublan. I espcially love how it features specific members of the church. It includes their pictures as biographical and anecdotal stories. I hope to use some of these ideas in my project.
Tullis, F. LaMond. The Gospel in Central America: A Phenomenon of Response and Frustration. Provo, UT: S.n., 1963. Print.In the beginning of his book Tullis addresses three very important problems concerning the gospel in Central America. He discusses the difference between religion and the culture that we are accustomed to in the US, namely that of the pioneers. He also discusses the relationship between the Indians and the Latinos, as well as the relationship that Indians have with the gospel.

Taylor, Harold W. Memories of Militants & Mormon Colonists in Mexico. Yorba Linda, CA: Shumway Family History Services, 1992. Print. Taylor has an all-encompassing history of the Mormons in Mexico, both from a Mexican and a Mormon viewpoint. He provides well the backdrop of Mexican history before the arrival of the colonists. I should consider, as he does in his project, the pre-mormon history of the area, contrasted with the view from church headquarters and the U.S. of what was happening.
Reimer, Maike, and Britta Matthes. "Collecting Event Histories with TrueTales:Techniques to Improve Autobiographical Recall Problems in Standardized Interviews." Quality & Quantity 41.5 (2007): 711-35. Print. In their article, Reimer and Matthes look into how memory functions and relate that to the process of collecting histories. They consider how interview techniques should be effected by the patterns of memory in order to achieve maximum recollection and more accurate results.
Tullis, F. LaMond. "Early Mormon Exploration and Missionary Activities in Mexico." BYU Studies 22.3 (1982): 289-310. Print. Tullis paints a detailed and objective history of the first Mormon pioneers to move into and settle in Mexico. He discusses motivations and purposes for the exploration. He also covers the important events that surround the first "Book of Mormon Pamphlets" in Spanish and the effect that they had upon the Mexican locals.
Taibo, Paco Ignacio. Irapuato Mi Amor. Tabasco: Información Obrera, 1984. Print. Taibo writes a short history of his experience in Irapuato from May 1973 to November 1982. His narrative is interesting as an almost biographical account of his time there. He is originally from Spain and from Mexico city and so he writes about his observations and findings concerning the city of Irapuato.
Schmal, John P. "History of Mexico - The State of Guanajuato." Houston Institute for Culture. Web. 15 Feb. 2012. <http://www.houstonculture.org/mexico/guanajuato.html>. Schmal provides an insightful history of the state of Guanajuato. He focuses primarily on the pre-Hispanic and Indigenous aspects of their history. It is important to note that as of the last century there is a great decline in preservation and inheritance of indigenous cultural aspects, although a strong sense of mestizo heritage remains.
Thomas, Estelle Webb. Uncertain Sanctuary: A Story of Mormon Pioneering in Mexico. Salt Lake City: Westwater, 1980. Print. Thomas wrote and compiled the history of her family's trip to, and adventures living in Mexico up until the time of the Exodus of 1912. She compiled this personal and familial history when she was in her nineties. Although set within the original Mormon colonies this narrative gives an even more personal account of the lives of the people, which makes it very compelling.
"Priesthood in Action: Local Saints Cared for as Flood Waters Destroy Mexican City of Irapuato." The Ensign Nov. 1973. Web. <http://www.lds.org/ensign/1973/11/news-of-the-church?lang=eng>. This article published in the Ensign portrays a very intimate and personal story for the members in Irapuato, Mexico. This flooding will no doubt take a major role in my history of Irapuato. It is interesting that during the 70's there was only one branch in Irapuato, and in 1992 there was an entire stake.
Ramírez, José Juan. "Irapuato, 461 Años De Historia." El Sol De Irapuato 14 Feb. 2008. Web. 22 Feb. 2012. <http://www.oem.com.mx/esto/notas/n593524.htm>. Ramírez writes about the history of the city of Irapuato itself. He discusses the controversy concerning its actual date of settlement (c.a. 1556) as well as the meaning of the name "Irapuato." He mentions the destruction of many historical buildings and monuments because of renovation projects for the state of Guanajuato, and talks about the flood of 1973.
Ramírez, José Juan. "A 37 Años De La Inundación." El Sol De Irapuato 18 Aug. 2010. Web. 24 Feb. 2012. This article by Ramírez convers the events of the flood and keeps the tragedy in the minds of the locals in Irapuato. The saints were involved in this flood, there being only a small branch at the time. There were no deaths of members of the church.
Torres, Nancy Venegas. "Se Engalana La Ciudad; Cumple 465 Aniversario." El Sol De Irapuato 15 Mar. 2012. Web. <http://www.oem.com.mx/elsoldeirapuato/notas/n2428712.htm>. Torres writes her article about the celebration for the 465th Anniversary of Irapuato. She talks about the confusion concerning the actual start of Irapuato, about several important buildings, and even mentions the Museum of History in Irapuato which is rather pertinent to my project.
Mantwill, Mona, Günter Köhnken, and Ellen Aschermann. "Effects of the Cognitive Interview on the Recall of Familiar and Unfamiliar Events." Journal of Applied Psychology80.1 (1995): 68-78. Print. Mantwill, Kohnken, and Aschermann conducted a study about the effects of time upon the memory of interviewees. They also compared the "structured interview" and the "cognitive interview" and found that the use of retrieval aids during the interview greatly increase the accurate remembering of data. By learning from the cognitive interview described in this article I will be able to conduct more effective interviews while I am in the field.
Schmal, John. "History of Mexico - The State of Guanajuato." Houston Institute for Culture. Web. 19 Mar. 2012. <http://www.houstonculture.org/mexico/guanajuato.html>. Schmal writes about the early indigenous people in Northern Mexico, including the Guachichile, Guamares, and Pume tribes which were centered in the region of Guanajuato state. The article focuses mainly on indigenous languages and gives census statistics on numbers of speakers and the decline in the indigenous heritage being passed down. From the 2000 census we learned that 96.33% of Guanajuatenses consider themselves mestizo. Also the silver mine in Guanajuato was the world's largest silver mine during the 1700s, acounting for 60% of the world's silver during that century. Such cultural background and will be significant in my cultural emergence and research.
"Historia De Irapuato." IrapuatoWeb. Web. 22 Mar. 2012. <http://irapuatoweb.com/index.php/irapuato/11-irapuato/5-historia.html>. This long article was written by and for Irapuatenses about the historical and cultural aspects of their community. Interestingly, it gives names of prominent figures from Irapuato during the 1910 revolution and also talks about the start of the strawberry farms during the 1850s. It also lists places of interest in the community that would be intersting to visit.
Beaubien, Jason. "Pope Encounters A 'Wounded, Depressed' Mexico." NPR. NPR, 24 Mar. 2012. Web. 24 Mar. 2012. <http://www.npr.org/2012/03/24/149275841/pope-encounters-a-wounded-depressed-mexico>. This is a really interesting article about religion within the state of Guanajuato. Pope Benedict XVI came and visited the state and was well received, though locals say that he is less popular than the previous Pope John Paul II for Mexicans, due in part to the violent times concerning the drug wars. It was reported that 83% of all Mexicans identify themselves as Catholic. It is important for me to understand the prevailing religion especially in my local area and with my project which is about religion.
Lynch, T. "Learning from the Transcripts of an Oral Communication Task." ELT Journal 61.4 (2007): 311-20. Print. Lynch conducted a study to find out the feasibility and practicality of using recordings and transcriptions in English (language) Teaching classes. He found that transcribing activities are highly beneficial to the learning of the language students and does not put undue stress on the teacher. He found as well that while teacher based corrections are helpful, student initiative corrections provide more long-term learning benefits.
Hunt, Linda M., and Katherine B. Voogd. "Are Good Intentions Good Enough?: Informed Consent Without Trained Interpreters." Journal of General Internal Medicine 22.5 (2007): 598-605. Print. Hunt and Voogd's research is concerning the lack of efficiency in informed consent in hospitals for LEP (Limited English Proficiency) patients. Because resources are limited they suggest a few low budget methods that could be put into practice to improve informed consent amount LEP patients. These methods include translating key documents into other languages, assessing current employees' level of communication in Spanish and other languages, and provided medical vocabulary training in tandem with encouragement for accuracy. I too will be seeking for informed consent among Spanish speakers and can seek to implement, in my own way, these and similar methods.
Grover, Mark L. "The Maturing of the Oak : The Dynamics of LDS Growth in Latin America." Dialogue 2nd ser. 38 (2005): 79-104. Print. This article by Mark Grover tells the story of the growth of the LDS church within Latin America. Its approach is statistical and informational, but very interesting. Growth was limited from 1925 to the 1960s, but took off from there onwards, growing to 69% of the LDS Church outside of the U.S. and Canada in 2004. This reflects the growth of the small Branch in Irapuato during the '60s, and the stake that is present there now.
"Welcome to Irapuato, GTO." Welcome to Irapuato, GTO. Technológico De Monterrey. Web. 06 Apr. 2012. <http://irapuato.wordpress.com/>. This blog site is updated by students from a local high school in Irapuato: Technológico de Monterrey. The blog tries to focus on the cultural aspects and the history of Irapuato. There are many articles and pictures about the things to see and do in Irapuato; the site is a great source from the irapuatenses about their own culture.

Child, Jack. Introduction to Spanish Translation. Lanham, MD: University of America, 1992. Print. Child's wrote this book in order to fill the need that his 3rd or 4th year college students at The American University had for a specific text for his Spanish Translation class. The book focuses not just on theory, but one practical matters such as techniques in translation and common problems translating from Spanish into English. This book will be invaluable to me in the field during my compilation and translation stages.
"Guanajuato." History.com. A&E Television Networks. Web. 19 Mar. 2012. <http://www.history.com/topics/guanajuato>. The History Channel does an excellent summary of the history of the state of Guanajuato, dealing with the early indigenous history, history of the conquistador era, history of the revolutionary periods, as well as recent history and current figures. This general background has helped me have a better understanding of what it means to be Guanajuatense.
