Book From Indians to Chicanos

Download or read book From Indians to Chicanos written by James Diego Vigil and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2011-11-02 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropologist-historian James Diego Vigil distills an enormous amount of information to provide a perceptive ethnohistorical introduction to the Mexican-American experience in the United States. He uses brief, clear outlines of each stage of Mexican-American history, charting the culture change sequences in the Pre-Columbian, Spanish Colonial, Mexican Independence and Nationalism, and Anglo-American and Mexicanization periods. In a very understandable fashion, he analyzes events and the underlying conditions that affect them. Readers become fully engaged with the historical developments and the specific socioeconomic, sociocultural, and sociopsychological forces involved in the dynamics that shaped contemporary Chicano life. Considered a pioneering achievement when first published, From Indians to Chicanos continues to offer readers an informed and penetrating approach to the history of Chicano development. The richly illustrated Third Edition incorporates data from the latest literature. Moreover, a new chapter updates discussions of immigration, institutional discrimination, the Mexicanization of the Chicano population, and issues of gender, labor, and education.

Book Chicanos and Native Americans

Download or read book Chicanos and Native Americans written by Rodolfo O. De la Garza and published by Prentice Hall. This book was released on 1973 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The uprisings at Wounded Knee and Alcatraz, and the creation of La Huegla and La Raza Unida have all shown that the Chicano and the Native American will no longer suffer under the oppression and exploitation of Anglo America, say the editors of this volume. The fourteen manifestos and commentaries in this book provide a forceful rejection of the racist stereotypes perpetuated in the past by Anglo citizens, social scientists, and policy makers, and lead the way in the struggle of Chicanos and Native Americans for their rights. Actively committed to these movements, the contributors, many of whom are Chicanos or Native Americans, examine diverse social, educational, and governmental problems that affect these minorities. The reveal a pattern of neglect, deprivation, and federal paternalism that has created a volatile mood among Chicanos and Native Americans. As territorial minorities, Chicanos and Native Americans do no fit the traditional "melting pot" formula, as do most other ethnic groups. New solutions are necessary, say the editors. The contributors propose various educational and social programs which recognize the needs and the cultural uniqueness of both Chicanos and Native Americans, all urgently needed to avoid the confrontations and strife that the trail of broken treaties and the deaf ears of Washington have provoked in recent years -- Back cover.

Book Rewriting the Chicano Movement

Download or read book Rewriting the Chicano Movement written by Mario T. García and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chicano Movement, el movimiento, is known as the largest and most expansive civil rights and empowerment movement by Mexican Americans up to that time. It made Chicanos into major American political actors and laid the foundation for today’s Latino political power. Rewriting the Chicano Movement is a collection of powerful new essays on the Chicano Movement that expand and revise our understanding of the movement. These essays capture the commitment, courage, and perseverance of movement activists, both men and women, and their struggles to achieve the promises of American democracy. The essays in this volume broaden traditional views of the Chicano Movement that are too narrow and monolithic. Instead, the contributors to this book highlight the role of women in the movement, the regional and ideological diversification of the movement, and the various cultural fronts in which the movement was active. Rewriting the Chicano Movement stresses that there was no single Chicano Movement but instead a composite of movements committed to the same goal of Chicano self-determination. Scholars, students, and community activists interested in the history of the Chicano Movement can best start by reading this book.

  • Publisher : Indiana University Press
  • Release : 2002-04-04
  • ISBN : 9780253108814
  • Pages : 438 pages

Download or read book Decolonial Voices written by Arturo J. Aldama and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2002-04-04 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interdisciplinary essays in Decolonial Voices discuss racialized, subaltern, feminist, and diasporic identities and the aesthetic politics of hybrid and mestiza/o cultural productions. This collection represents several key directions in the field: First, it charts how subaltern cultural productions of the US/ Mexico borderlands speak to the intersections of "local," "hemispheric," and "globalized" power relations of the border imaginary. Second, it recovers the Mexican women's and Chicana literary and cultural heritages that have been ignored by Euro-American canons and patriarchal exclusionary practices. It also expands the field in postnationalist directions by creating an interethnic, comparative, and transnational dialogue between Chicana and Chicano, African American, Mexican feminist, and U.S. Native American cultural vocabularies. Contributors include Norma AlarcÃ3n, Arturo J. Aldama, Frederick Luis Aldama, Cordelia Chávez Candelaria, Alejandra Elenes, RamÃ3n Garcia, MarÃa Herrera-Sobek, Patricia Penn Hilden, Gaye T. M. Johnson, Alberto Ledesma, Pancho McFarland, Amelia MarÃa de la Luz Montes, Laura Elisa Pérez, Naomi Quiñonez, Sarah Ramirez, Rolando J.

Book ETHNIC REALITIES OF MEXICAN AMERICANS

Download or read book ETHNIC REALITIES OF MEXICAN AMERICANS written by Martin Guevara Urbina and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to examine the ethnic experience of the Mexican American community in the United States, from colonialism to twenty-first century globalization. The authors unearth evidence that reveals how historically white ideology, combined with science, law, and the American imagination, has been strategically used as a mechanism to intimidate, manipulate, oppress, control, dominate, and silence Mexican Americans, ethnic racial minorities, and poor whites. A theoretical and philosophical overview is presented, focusing on the repressive practice against Mexicans that resulted in violence, brutality, vigilantism, executions, and mass expulsions. The Mexican experience under “hooded” America is explored, including religion, the Ku Klux Klan, and the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement. Local, state, and federal laws are documented, often in conflict with one another, including the Homeland Security program that continues to result in detentions and deportations. The authors examine the continuing argument of citizenship that has been used to legally exclude Mexican children from the educational system and thereby being characterized as not fit for the classroom nor entitled to an equitable education. Segregation and integration in the classroom is discussed, featuring examples of court cases. As documented throughout the book, American law is a constant reminder of the pervasive ideology of the historical racial supremacy, socially defined and enforced ethnic inferiority, and the rejection of positive social change, equality, and justice that continues to persist in the United States. The book is extensively referenced and is intended for professionals in the fields of sociology, history, ethnic studies, Mexican American (Chicano) studies, law and political science and also those concerned with sociolegal issues.
