    Although I had previously noticed some racial undertones in Mexican culture, I never fully questioned the root of this discrimination. It was far too easy for me to overlook racism in Mexican culture- when racism in America was far more visible. In class, we watched part of a documentary called, “The Black Grandma in the Closet,” from the series Black in Latin America. In the first portion of the film, Professor Gates mentions how Mexico unintentionally transpired “a policy of whitening” through the removal of racial categories. Noting the 1925 publication of Jose Vasconcelos’ essay “The Cosmic Race,” Professor Gates explains how Vasconcelos’ attempt to unite the people of Mexico by establishing one great mixed race ultimately diminished black identity. This revelation was made personal when the Port of Veracruz was stated to be the most widely used port to carry black slaves to Mexico. I say this because half of my family lives in Veracruz and my father spent the majority of his young adult life…

    Governmental issues and expressions of the human experience have dependably been entwined in the Chicano development - El Movimiento. Cesar Chavez's endeavors starting in the mid-'60s in Central California to unionize cultivate laborers were sensationalized by Luis Valdez's Teatro Campesino- - an organization that was established in 1965 and motivated incalculable Chicano theater bunches, which utilized the phase to investigate other political issues, including the Vietnam War, work separation and migration approaches. The political arousing of La Raza- - "The Race"- - was likewise played out against the scenery of wall paintings in urban areas crosswise over America. Be that as it may, since those red hot beginnings, social additions have…

    Despite the large timeframe of the text, Lewis provides a comprehensive yet detailed social history of Chiapas. Using the schoolhouse of rural Mexico as the central point of focus, the author describes the struggles associated with the SEP and the federal reforms implemented through it as well as addressing the issue of Mexican indigenismo during the time period. The inability of the government to successfully set up a functioning infrastructure for the SEP in the highlands coupled with the corruption of local elites caused the SEP to fail in its mission to modernize the indigenous peoples of Mexico and form a single national identity based on secular values. However, ideological battles and class struggle would play a significant role in shaping Mexico and would carry over, resulting in the 1994 Zapatistas rebellion. The Ambivalent Revolution becomes an important text in understanding the relationship between rural indigenous communities and the federal government between 1910 and 1945 and the role education policy and the SEP played in building the…

    In his book, Major Problems in Mexican American History, Zaragosa Vargas describes the Mexican Immigrant experience from 1917-1928. He begins by assessing the Protestant religious experience for a Mexican in the early 1920’s, and then describes Mexican life in both Colorado in 1924 and Chicago in 1928. After defending Mexican Immigrants in 1929, he includes an outline of an Americanization program, followed by an anecdote of a Mexican immigrant in the 1920’s. Vargas uses these documents to show the evolvement of Americanization of Mexicans from a community goal to a societal demand.…

    Chicago “The Windy City”, had a vast amount of wood, coal, and other natural gasses, shipped in to build and and build fast because of the majority of people that were flocking in. Most buildings even with the most sturdy of bases were still heavily framed out of wood. These buildings were made out of wood because it was cheap, quick, and easy to build. Every building in the city used coal to heat it up, and coal was another thing that was cheap and easy to get.

    “Political control could be violently wrested from Hispanos, even though they constituted a majority in a settlement”, (Weber, 177) in Texas during the 1850’s. Most Mexicans were not allowed to vote, so most decisions were made by what the Anglos wanted, or perceived as being for the best. Mexicans weren’t allowed to serve on juries either, they were “systematically, intentionally, and deliberately excluded from [all] Jury Commissions and Grand Juries”, (Garcia, 38). Mexicans were considered “neither African American nor completely white when it came to judicial interpretations”, (Garcia, 14). In excluding Mexicans from serving on the juries, Anglos were discretely suppressing the Mexican community. The absence of Mexicans on the juries meant that if a Mexican was ever put on trial, they would be undoubtedly declared guilty because Anglo’s believed Mexicans were an inferior…
