the political status and rights of indigenous people in Chiapas since 1990? I am studying the change in political status and the rights of the indigenous people of Chiapas after the Zapatista rebellion in 1994, as well as after the agreement on the San Andres Accords in 1996. I am very interested in the causes, scale, scope, and effectiveness of the San Andres Accords, which was signed by the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN) and the Mexican government in 1996. The San Andres…
Society doesn’t see immigrants as asset to the United States when in fact they contribute just as much as any other American. Because immigrants and the Mexican border are seen as “bad” political policies are set in motion that oppress…

marginalization Latinos faced in racialized suburbia.

This further emphasizes this…

It seemed as if the U.S. government could see that these lands that were continuing to be owned by Mexicans could be a better profit for Americans. Adding to this, the U.S. voted to remove Article X, and unjustly decided that they would not inform Mexico, nor the Mexicans that had valid land grants. Americans were wanting this land; it was easy for them to take this land as well. Mexicans would have to go to court…
Mexico has had obtained a huge reputation of having bad presidents, the people don’t even vote for this very reason, they know that the nation will not change. However, there was a time that the people used to think differently. They used to believe in those promises, that time occurred in the revolution and ended around the 50’s.

All alone”, in his article titled The Sons of La Malinche (Paz 26). Therefore, Mexico too knows that these characteristics cannot define their nationalism. Mexico is rich in both past and present hardships that can be considered…
Cuban-Americans and Mexican-Americans both have very different culture. Some of my colleagues at my current workplace are from both the Hispanic groups. Even though they share Spanish language, their dialects are very different. Both cultures use different pronunciations and phrases in their dialogues. History Mexican-Americans had an exclusive immigration pattern. Mexicans immigrated to USA at very small level until Mexico’s financial situation diminished in early 20th century. The country got…
presidency until 1910. The Mexican revolution began with the aims to overthrow Porfirio Diaz and his regime. During the revolution different leaders emerged who pursued different objectives. For example Venustiano Carranza and Francisco madero primarily sought out political reform, while Emiliano Zapata and “Pancho” Villa supported the demands for major social and economic reforms. But Zapata in particular supported the demands of poor farmers for land to cultivate. The Mexican Revolution…
