Letter from the Publisher

Tribe: making it more than a dream

Since childhood, I have always been captivated by culture. In middle and high school, I dabbled in model making, painting and photography. College opened the door to multicultural awareness. I used to sample various ethnic foods because they provided an entryway to tastes, smells and sights unlike the traditional Latin food to which I was accustomed. It was an inexpensive luxury. The quest was then, as it is now, to understand and appreciate traditions different from my own.

Our mainstream culture of mass consumption offers the intellect little more than unfriendly indifference. In these trying economic times, it seems many are experiencing cultural entropy. The primary goal of Tribe is to fuel the mind and stimulate the senses by exposing the rich cultural tapestry that surrounds us.

I am not aware of a publication like Tribe. My goal is to fill this void by investigating and documenting the cultural diversity available to all of us. Sure, we want to enjoy dumplings for Chinese New Year, corned beef and cabbage for St.Patrick’s Day and a margarita for Cinco de Mayo, but I want Tribe to go deeper and wider. I want to discover the basic meanings of each celebration from an anthropological perspective. Let us discover the beauty of our collective humanity and its expression of art, culture and way of life. I want Tribe to enthusiastically nourish the culturally neglected among us. I hope you enjoy each section: arts, culture, shopping, music, and dining. Welcome to Tribe.
