<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Northern New Mexico regional Hispanic history and folklore."--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The community of Cuba, New Mexico, its institutions and economy are changing rapidly and radically. Our town is losing its former identity and its precious historical resources. Personally, I feel an urgent need to capture as much of our history as possible. I hope to share what I can from my perspective in the form of <em>pláticas</em>. In Spanish, <em>pláticas</em> means conversation, talk or chat, as well as discourse or a communication of ideas or information. Those of us who experienced Cuba before the age of electronic devices used to relate through <em>pláticas</em>. With our passing, the resources from the past will become less accessible unless they are written down. The stories and the fascinating people who once made our world special will fade away. The modern reader is invited to share our history and join in appreciating who we were as a community. Like any other place, Cuba's history illustrates compassion and pain as well as conflict, cooperation and endurance. These stories and observations have relevance in this place and elsewhere, now and in the future.</p>
