In cold weather the poor huddle over pots in which a few sticks burn; for their huts let in not only light, but also the cold. Sometimes mothers in the depths of poverty and degradation lead their thirteen and fourteen-year-ol-d daughters around and offer them to Americans for enough to keep the rest of the family in life for only a little while. Girls of seventeen who have been thus used and discarded, offer their faded beauty on-the streets, or beg with the urchins for "solo uno centarua, senor." But, whether of high or low class, the Mexicans are. always picturesque, and, like the cat, always graceful. In Mexico serfdom was brought by the priests from Europe and the middle ages; and when capitalism superceded it, they modified serfdom into capitalistic form, inventing peonage. The seizure of the public lands by Diaz made the institution national in scope, while the advertising of peon labor brought capital to Mexico from all over the world. "Yes, -''they are poor, but they are the happiest people on earth," said Colonel Breen to an American who asked concerning the peons. It was what Americans said in the southern states of the negroes. "You wouldn't like to try to be happy in their situation?" "H--l no. I couldn't be happy situated as they are. 1Neither could you. But if you could see them at their monthly fandango you would think they never had a care." "I have heard they never smile or sing." "It is a mistake. They seldom smile or sing, but sometimes they do. It is bad enough, I admit that. But it is the Spaniards and the middle-class Americans who treat them the worst; just as in the United States, the big corporations pay the...

Download or read book Porfirio Diaz written by Paul Garner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fall of Porfirio Diaz has traditionally been presented as a watershed between old and new: an old style repressive and conservative government, and the more democratic and representative system that flowered in the wake of the Mexican Revolution. Now this view is being challenged by a new generation of historians, who point out that Diaz originally rose to power in alliance with anti-conservative forces and was a modernising force as well as a dictator. Drawing together the threads of this revisionist reading of the Porfiriato, Garner reassesses a political career that spanned more than forty years, and examines the claims that post-revolutionary Mexico was not the break with the past that the revolutionary inheritors claimed.

Book excerpt: From New York Times bestseller and Pulitzer Prize winner Junot Díaz comes a debut picture book about the magic of memory and the infinite power of the imagination. A 2019 Pura Belpré Honor Book for Illustration Every kid in Lola's school was from somewhere else. Hers was a school of faraway places. So when Lola's teacher asks the students to draw a picture of where their families immigrated from, all the kids are excited. Except Lola. She can't remember The Island—she left when she was just a baby. But with the help of her family and friends, and their memories—joyous, fantastical, heartbreaking, and frightening—Lola's imagination takes her on an extraordinary journey back to The Island. As she draws closer to the heart of her family's story, Lola comes to understand the truth of her abuela's words: “Just because you don't remember a place doesn't mean it's not in you.” Gloriously illustrated and lyrically written, Islandborn is a celebration of creativity, diversity, and our imagination's boundless ability to connect us—to our families, to our past and to ourselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 1921, and Francisco Madero is president of Mexico. Just last year he and his top general ousted the long-standing president (some say dictator), Porfirio Diaz, who is now in exile. But the country is far from stable. A basic cultural rift between the elite and the poor portends unrest and a sequence of revolts. Students are assigned to play characters that are charged with stabilizing their country and preventing further civil war. The goal is to reform Mexico and make it a better nation for all of its inhabitants—but Mexicans and foreigners worry that without a firm hand, Mexico's governance might spiral out of control. At what cost will progress come?
