Mexican American History

 

Part I: Essay Question: You should refer to and use examples from the lectures, readings, and films that pertain to Mexican American history since 1848. 1.) Using
specific examples from any of your readings, analyze the period from the end of the U.S.- Mexico War (1848) to the 1970s and discuss the manner in which ethnic
Mexicans in the United States both resisted and negotiated overt (written law) and institutionalized (accepted practices but not law) racism? The Following Information
is VERY IMPORTANT!!! Format: 12pt, 1.25” margins, double spaced. Work Cited page is required. Use in-text citations when borrowing someone else’s work. (i.e) blah blah
blah. (Chavez, 62). In order to reach the maximum grade on this paper you must offer some analysis (not a summary) that discusses Mexican (but now American)
communities in the late 19th century American Southwest, the Immigrant Generation, the Mexican American Generation, and the Chicano Movement(s). Your paper should
revolve around four very specific themes: migration, discrimination, resistance, and identity. You do not have to use examples from every reading!!! Use only those
readings and films that support your analysis–but–be sure to use examples. You will be harshly penalized if you do not use the lectures, readings, and films to support
your analysis.
