The Magic Lantern published in 1886 and written by José Tomás de Cuéllar (New York: Oxford University Press, 2000) is a novella about nineteenth century Mexico. He wrote this book to express his thoughts and ideas about the way men and women treated each other during this time. Cuéllar believed Mexico was wrong for the standards that were set and thoroughly expresses these thoughts through the short story, Having a Ball. He believed that men should look for more substance in women, other than there beauty. This novella is written about Cuéllars views and the French customs in Mexico City during the 1900’s.…
Research indicates that Latina/o students’ college choices create HSIs, and Latina/o students may be actively avoiding more selective and prestigious schools due to financial concerns and instead choose HSIs due to their proximity to their home (Santiago, 2007). Furthermore, authors argue that HSIs are designated based on their geographic proximity to Latina/o populations, and often are not intrinsically prepared to provide culturally responsive environments for Latina/o students (Hubbard & Stage, 2009; Perrakis & Hagedorn, 2010).…

“The origins of Mexicans in the Making of America begin with ‘first contact’ between Anglos and Mexican citizens in Texas in the 1820s and the annexation of the northern half of Mexico in 1848” (Foley, 16), leading to blatant racism, oppression, and stereotyping against Mexicans for decades to come. Furthermore, the mistreatment and disrespect towards Latino Americans of Mexican descent set the ball rolling for the first generation’s assimilationist politics of the 1940s-1950s followed by the second generation’s more fundamental politics of the 1960s and 1970s—two very distinct historical eras where different generations of Mexican Americans politically organized to protect themselves against deliberate forms discrimination. Legal cases/events,…

Texas took the victory for its independence from Mexico in 1836, the Mexican president General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna promised, “that any move by the Unites States to annex Texas” would face with military force. Nevertheless, Texas became the 28th state of the United States, state officials demanded that the actual border between Texas and Mexico was the Rio Grande River. Mexicans, yet contemplate the Nueces River to be the border. Polk decided that the United States had a duty to protect Texas's grounds and he placed U.S warships off the coast of Texas. Nonetheless, Mexico refused to answer militarily. So, November 1845, Polk removed another approach, trying to force Mexico into selling not only Texas but also California and New Mexico…

Early European settlers to the United States immigrated to establish a new nation free from the tyranny of monarch rulers in order to find new freedom on the continent of North America. These settlers came to establish a new society, on that was free from religious persecution, over taxation, and ruling kingdom that limited personal freedoms.

In the 1930’s a large economic crisis struck America as the stock market crash. The stock market crash threw the world into a depression, but it largely impacted America and Germany the most. The people during that time called it the Great Depression, and has been known as such ever since. During the Great Depression, millions of people lost their jobs, causing emotions of shame, guilt, and anger especially among the white male community. The minority groups that also lost their jobs became the scapegoat that majority groups could direct these emotions. Hispanics and African Americans were often accused of stealing jobs and welfare to the point where drastic actions were taken. Among those drastic actions…
Expansion. By 1815, the United States was beginning to grow further and further west. Settlers were making their way through the Ohio River Valley, the Trans-Mississippi west, and into portions of the Louisiana Purchase territory. By the time Mexico had gained its independence from Spain, American settlers were already on the border of the new nation. The individual reasons for expansion are numerous but we know settlers wanted vast amounts of land (farmlands), and they wanted to explore – making a new life for themselves. Socio and political issues definitely existed through this time period, and these issues were the basis for more conflict between countries.…

The Mexico of the 1930s was primed for change. While the Great Depression threatened never to end and political instability seemed to run in a ravenous cycle, Mexico still smoldered through the 1930s, in the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution. Though the Revolution had blitzed through the country, leaving death and deepened social turmoil, one could posit that a majority of the occurrences of the mayhem were those meant to inspire positive societal change. For example, under Francisco Madero, the peasantry raged at his failure to implement land reform for the poor. The overthrow of Victoriano Huerta illustrated the citizenry’s refusal to accept violent tyranny. And, the construction of the 1917 Constitution, under Venustiano Carranza, solidified…
