Excerpt: ... viii mexican home life my little family occasionally accompanied me on tours to the out-stations, where we were always welcomed in the homes. We did not always sleep on the floor, as many do, but often on soft wool mattress beds between clean, white sheets, sometimes enclosed in mosquito netting. Nor did we usually eat on the floor, as some do; our table would be quite decent, although simply furnished. The corn tortillas, made as they are in some Mexican kitchens, white, delicately thin, toasted to a crisp, often with a puff, and served hot from the earthen griddle, are--well, we would take them most any day in preference to the best product of American ovens. Beef is--or was--abundant in that cattle country. No family was too poor to afford meat of some kind. The chili sauce, or red-pepper dressing, so commonly used with meats, we learned to enjoy, but partook of it cautiously. Pepper as a food is said to be anti-malarial, and this may explain the craving for highly seasoned dishes so common in hot countries. Pepper in one form or another is rarely absent from the Mexican bill of fare. When green and tender it is boiled and served like spinach. Hot? Yes, as fire to the unaccustomed mouth; yet in my tours, at tables where other food was scarce, I have had my plate heaped with it, and, though unadulterated, one is expected to swallow it calmly, and clean his dish with tearless eyes--as do his table mates. Chili con came--red pepper with meat; enchilados--tortillas with cheese and red-pepper paste made into sandwich rolls; rellenos--green peppers stuffed with hash or other delicacy--all these are favourite dishes. Many of our ordinary vegetables we found strangely uncommon in Chihuahua. We mjssed potatoes. They were in the Parral market, ..

Download or read book Mexican Revolution Genesis Under Madero written by Charles C. Cumberland and published by Univ of TX + ORM. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of a dictatorship’s demise—and the many power struggles that followed on the rocky road to democracy in early twentieth-century Mexico. The Mexican Revolution is one of the most important and ambitious sociopolitical experiments in modern times. This history by Charles C. Cumberland addresses the early years of this period, as the long dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz was finally overthrown and he was driven into exile due to the efforts of revolutionary reformer Francisco Madero, with the assistance of the famed Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata among others. Madero would become president—but would not last long in this role. This is the story of the events that would lead to years of bloody battles on the road to an eventual constitutional republic. “Not only a solid contribution to Mexicana...but proof that political history can be organized logically around a leading personality...Provocative, readable, and interpretative.” —The Americas
Download or read book Culture of Empire written by Gilbert G. González and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the Chicano community cannot be complete without taking into account the United States' domination of the Mexican economy beginning in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, writes Gilbert G. González. For that economic conquest inspired U.S. writers to create a "culture of empire" that legitimated American dominance by portraying Mexicans and Mexican immigrants as childlike "peons" in need of foreign tutelage, incapable of modernizing without Americanizing, that is, submitting to the control of U.S. capital. So powerful was and is the culture of empire that its messages about Mexicans shaped U.S. public policy, particularly in education, throughout the twentieth century and even into the twenty-first. In this stimulating history, Gilbert G. González traces the development of the culture of empire and its effects on U.S. attitudes and policies toward Mexican immigrants. Following a discussion of the United States' economic conquest of the Mexican economy, González examines several hundred pieces of writing by American missionaries, diplomats, business people, journalists, academics, travelers, and others who together created the stereotype of the Mexican peon and the perception of a "Mexican problem." He then fully and insightfully discusses how this misinformation has shaped decades of U.S. public policy toward Mexican immigrants and the Chicano (now Latino) community, especially in terms of the way university training of school superintendents, teachers, and counselors drew on this literature in forming the educational practices that have long been applied to the Mexican immigrant community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book examines travel to Mexico during the Porfiriato (the long dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz 1876-1911), focusing especially on the role of travelers in shaping ideas of Mexico as a logical place for Americans to extend their economic and cultural influence in the hemisphere. Overland travel between the United States and Mexico became instantly faster, smoother, and cheaper when workers connected the two countries' rail lines in 1884, creating intense curiosity in the United States about Mexico, its people, and its opportunities for business and pleasure. As a result, so many Americans began to travel south of the border during the Porfiriato that observers from both sides of the border began to quip that the visiting hordes of tourists and business speculators constituted a "foreign invasion," a phrase laced with irony given that it appeared at the height of public debate in the United States about the nation's imperial future. These travelers created a rich and varied record of their journeys, constructing Mexico as a nation at the cusp of modernity but requiring foreign intervention to reach its full potential"--
