Generational Status and Mexican American Political Participation, was written by Wayne Santoro and Gary Segura in an attempt to examine the assimilation of Mexicans from different angles than often exposed. When one discusses assimilation, the talk of benefits coming from it on the Mexican side is rare to hear. The primary benefit that is brought into discussion is the fact that it could get Mexicans more involved with politics. The authors are making a claim that a benefit from assimilation is…

been called shameful and cruel of Japan. Japanese journalist Harada Kazuyoshi claims that "Japan has done less than any other large democracy" to reduce the rising refugee problem. One “excuse” that Japan uses for not taking in refugees is that the people won’t settle into Japan well. They will not know the language and they will always be considered outsiders in the Japanese community which makes it an uncomfortable place to settle. Another excuse is that the Syrian crisis is much to far to be…

Anchorage’s Hacienda Restaurant shares a history of Mexican food in America. Mexican cuisine is a fusion of Mesoamerican cooking (extending from central Mexico to areas in Central America) with European influences, particularly Spanish elements after the Spanish conquest of the…

When I interviewed Joey, he gave me some very interesting insight on US culture. He mentioned how racism was a big problem in America. People like Rita were not able to stay at the “lujoso” hotels they worked for. He also mentioned how women were treated with little respect compared to men. Finally, he mentioned the drug activity and how immigrants were more readily profiled as drug dealers. Q2 - Parrafo A then interviewed Joey about how he saw Chico, and Joey saw him in a mostly negative…

4- Where and how the change comes to Jose’s life? When Jose goes to college and takes many humanity classes, practices critical thinking and get introduced to race relations, he realizes that looking like a Latino or being a Latino doesn’t bother him anymore. He is neither proud nor ashamed of who he is. His racism toward himself has soothed. But he was still strange to himself and his origins. Until he tried out a Latino student organization in his college called Unidad where Latino student…

to fight for a CLEAN Dream ACT, one that does not throw our parents under the bus. Our first major action as a chapter was the March 5th rally in Racine. We were the smallest group, but the loudest. With elections coming up, I hope to empower young people to go out and vote because change needs to happen. This award belongs to my whole Y.E.S chapter, every single one of us put our heart and soul into our work. Finally, I want to thank the teachers who nominated me and a huge thanks to St.…

Things have changed for citizens in Mexico since the 1917 Mexican revolution. The Mexican Constitution may have helped with this because in 1917 a new legal structure was established in the Constitution and it reversed the principle established under Porfirio Díaz that gave absolute property rights to individuals. In article 27 of the Mexican Constitution, gave the state the power to take over owners land and gave the State subsoil rights. Following a brief civil that lasted until 1920, Mexico…

My full name is hard to remember, or so I'm told. It's Mexican, which clearly defines my origin as Hispanic in plenty of surveys. But I believe to ask for my origin in terms of race is wrong, because my race is not what defines me. To know my true origin, you must understand my name. I am named after two women. My mother told me they lived with heads high and hearts strong. They didn't stand for injustice or silence. They were Natalia Reyes, my great-grandmother, and Alfonsa Reyes,…

Hispanic Heritage Month: Starting September 15th, and to October 15th our Spanish class celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month. It was an interesting learning experience overall, and it made for some unique days in class that could’ve otherwise been what seemed like days of more paperwork and material to study. (Which isn’t exactly a bad thing either.) There were some things that I enjoyed, but also some things that could’ve been improved upon. So, what about our celebration in class of Hispanic…
