Story and Identity: Moving Beyond the Self | David Bowles | TEDxMcAllen

The stories we have in common with one another, regionally and globally, help shed light on our background, which defines some of what makes us. The stories we all share can help us understand not just ourselves, but others around us, A product of an ethnically diverse family with Latino roots, David Bowles has lived most of his life in the Río Grande Valley of South Texas. David Bowels is the director for the Bilingual program with Donna ISD & also a professor at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. He is the author of several books, including The Smoking Mirror, Border Lore, Shattering and Bricolage, The Seed, and Mexican Bestiary. He has considerable experience translating prose, poetry and scripts from Spanish to English (and vice versa) as well as from Classical Nahuatl. In 2014, the Texas Institute of Letters selected my Flower, Song, Dance: Aztec and Mayan Poetry as recipient of the Soeurette Dieh Fraser Award for Best Translation. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
