Mission Santa Clara de Asís
Author: Amy MargaretPublisher: The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc
ISBN: 9780823958832
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
The story of the missions is a compelling human drama that is a vital piece not only of California history, but also of American history. Indeed, many keys to California's past lie in the stories of the 20 missions that stretch along the state's west coast from San Diego to San Francisco. This vital series is compatible with the mission-based curriculum used in fourth-grade California classrooms. It resonates equally with all social studies programs that explore the defunct notion of colonialism and its controversial role in the history of the United States, and with curricula that seek to explore the interaction of different cultures and the rights and voices of indigenous peoples.

Italians in the Santa Clara Valley
Author: Frederick W. MarrazzoPublisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 9780738555621
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Attracted by the mild climate and abundance of fertile land, Italians came to the Santa Clara Valley from all regions of Italy, including Sicily, Calabria, Basilicata, Tuscany, and Piedmont. Beginning in the 1880s, the "Eden of the World" beckoned Italian immigrants as farmers, ranchers, orchardists, vegetable growers, and winemakers. Italian men, women, and children filled the numerous canneries and packinghouses supplying the rest of the nation with fresh produce. Once the largest ethnic group in the valley, Italians' impact on the region has been profound, yet is often overlooked. The photographs in this book present a special glimpse into the lives of a people whose irrepressible optimism, kindness, and can-do spirit overcame the challenges and obstacles put before them.

Father Ezra Velez, a priest fueled by a deep devotion to his great-grandmother Jasmine, dares to make a daring plea to be transferred to a parish nestled within the heart of the city's impoverished slums.

In this harsh and indifferent landscape, where his masses are sparsely attended and vices overshadow virtues, Father Ezra faces an arduous uphill battle. The residents appear resigned to their grim fate, yielding to the pressures of ruthless enforcers and the looming specter of displacement. Undeterred, Father Ezra rallies his allies: his compassionate cousin, the esteemed doctor Gabriella Velez Calister, his wise grandfather Sergio Velez, a seasoned denizen of the slums, and his spirited rebel-activist comrades Samantha and Sophia. Together, this diverse band of rebels and believers embarks on a quest to kindle a flame of hope within the hearts of the slum dwellers. Through their collective efforts and unwavering resolve, they strive to offer a glimpse of a brighter tomorrow and a cause worth fighting for.
