Download or read book Dos Mundos written by Richard Baker and published by . This book was released on 1995-02 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in 1995, this unique ethnographic study of a small Idaho community with a large Hispanic population examines many dimensions of the impact race relations have on everyday life for rural Mexican Americans. Mexican Americans are the largest minority in Idaho, yet they live in a different world from the Anglo population, and because of pervasive stereotypes and exclusive policies, their participation in the community's social, economic, and political life is continually impeded. The small-town setting of this study allows the reader to listen to how Anglos talk about a racial minority. Most Americans publicly censor and monitor their thoughts on racial minorities, but Anglos in Middlewest expressed openly what many Anglo Americans think. This study presents a comprehensive examination of how institutionalized racism operates in American society. Reading this book will enable the reader to better understand why the race problem in America does not disappear.

Download or read book Five Families written by Oscar Lewis and published by . This book was released on 1959 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume takes the reader into the lives of five different Mexican families for one entire day, so that the reader can see how it is that they live their lives. The families are both rural and urban and represent a cross-section of Mexico at the time that this book was written. All but one of the families portrayed are poor, yet they all share some similar characteristics. Written during the nineteen fifties, this book is, for the most part, a look at a culture of poverty. It is also a look at a culture that is in transition, shifting from rural to urban with its often resulting poverty and pathology. Yet, it is also a culture into which, North American material comforts and influence were making inroads.

Download or read book The Price of Poverty written by Dan Dohan and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2003-12-01 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on two years of ethnographic fieldwork in two impoverished California communities—one made up of recent immigrants from Mexico, the other of U.S.-born Chicano citizens—this book provides an invaluable comparative perspective on Latino poverty in contemporary America. In northern California’s high-tech Silicon Valley, author Daniel Dohan shows how recent immigrants get by on low-wage babysitting and dish-cleaning jobs. In the housing projects of Los Angeles, he documents how families and communities of U.S.-born Mexican Americans manage the social and economic dislocations of persistent poverty. Taking readers into worlds where public assistance, street crime, competition for low-wage jobs, and family, pride, and cross-cultural experiences intermingle, The Price of Poverty offers vivid portraits of everyday life in these Mexican American communities while addressing urgent policy questions such as: What accounts for joblessness? How can we make sense of crime in poor communities? Does welfare hurt or help?
Download or read book Tackling Poverty in Rural Mexico written by Harriet Baldwin and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This World Bank (Washington, D.C.) kit is a case study designed to teach secondary school social studies students about an integrated rural development project in Mexico, and how it is helping to raise the standard of living for six million Mexicans in 131 microregions throughout Mexico. The kit contains a pamphlet, a booklet, a sound filmstrip, and a teacher's guide. The pamphlet, "Economic Summary: Mexico," provides students with an introduction to the economic situation in Mexico, noting its rich endowment of natural resources, the relatively advanced state of its economy, and the need for helping the rural poor. The booklet, "Tackling Poverty in Rural Mexico," examines the Mexican economy by focusing on the living conditions of small farmers and their families. Students are introduced to farmers in a poor village and examine changes that take place when they build an irrigation system and learn to use new farming methods. The filmstrip, "Many Steps, One Goal," reviews the case study. The teaching guide contains: (1) objectives for learning; (2) eight lesson plans; (3) the filmstrip script; and (4) twelve reproducible student worksheets, including one test. Maps, drawings, and black and white photographs are included. (JB)
