Thia summer, 1971, thin team hasattempted to do some add17. tional things that will assist theclaesroom teacher in better under standing and teaching about the largestminority in the Southwest. We feel that additional backgroundis necessary before the right amount of emphasis can be placed on teachingabout Mexican history and culture. The teacher not having this backgroundmight ask, "What is the difference between September 16 and Cinco de Mayo?" "Why does Mexico celebrate two independence holidays instead of one like ammocountries?"There might even be those whowould say that Mexican Americans should forgetabout these two ,holidays and concentrateonly on the Fourth of July. For those. American History and for those who . who want to know more about Mexican lack sufficient informal backgroundand/or emphatby, it is hoped these additional materials will be helpful. Once this first question is answered4the next question the teacher might ask is, "Haw does one go aboutobserving and creating'an understanding and an appreciation for these MexicanAmerican holidays?"The writing team has tried to fill this vacuum,where It exists, by some suggestions and samples of materials bpgihningwith a P.A. announcement to start the day and continuing with momiesuggestions at to what various classes might do to carry out these observations. An additional category that wethink will be helpful are suggestions for field trips in our communityand near-by areas. For the teacher who wants to take his class to La Placitaand/or Ague Manse Cemetery, he will find a map to assist in hisplanning. Or, another class might want to see the San Bernardino ALoistencia in near-by Badlands.How do you get there? This question is answered. in thesematerials as well as suggestions made for visiting other locations inthe surrounding area. For the history teacher who hasmajored while in school in the more tra- ditional Anglo American History or EuropeanHistory, it is noetiees dif- ficult to "catch-up" with the newdemands In,Black History, Mexican American History, and Oriental AmericanHistory, etc.This obviously takes a tremendous amount of independent study. We hope the "Timeline on the United States and Mexican American History"will serve as'a temporary supplement to teaching anintegrated course in American History. Other additional materials to help theteacher include an annotated list of some ten new films on MexicanAmericans. Those films are available to all teachers in the dloprict. There are additional new books to supplement the bibliography of the Study Guidelineof 1970.The readings of Rubin Salazar should serve to help create somedynamic learning sessions in the secondary schools. The suggestions for:plays and satires you willfind "4 both humorous and useful indispelling eterotypes about the Mexican Ameri- can.

    Bob Schulman, Contributor | Travel Editor, WatchBoom.com Visitors Are Invited To A Countrywide Party In Mexico 08/07/2017 03:58 pm ET MEXICO TOURISM BOARD You’re in luck if you happen to be in Mexico on Sept. 16. Wherever you are down there, don’t be surprised if you’re invited to the likes of colorful fiestas, mariachi shows, block parties and sing-alongs in the cantinas while fireworks liven up the sky that night. That’s because Sept. 16 is Mexico Independence Day, marking the day in 1810 when Father Miguel Hidalgo, in an impassioned speech in the little town of Dolores, urged Mexicans to rise up against the Spanish government. They did, sparking what became a 10-year war for independence. Kicking off a national celebration in Mexico City, the Mexican president will ring a bell and repeat Father Hidalgo’s iconic “Cry of Dolores.” In past years, better than a half-million merry-makers have turned out for the presidential event followed by musical performances and one of the world’s most spectacular fireworks shows.The Similar celebrations staged around Father Hidalgo’s cry (called “El Grito”) will take place in cities across the country. Out on the Yucatan Peninsula at Campeche, for example, tourists are welcome to join townsfolk whooping it up at the BOB SCHULMAN city’s Moch-Couho Plaza next to the government Church in Dolores where Father Hidalgo gave ‘El Grito.' palace. Down in Acapulco, you can join join the locals’ joyful chanting (all you need to do is shout “Viva” when everyone else does).

In the early sixteenth century, Mexico City already had 200,000 inhabitants, and the Valley of Mexico almost half a million—which is to say, it has always been one of the world’s largest cities. Due to its longstanding position as Mexico’s capital city, industrial development in the twentieth century, and particularly the rapid demographic growth in the 1970s and 1980s, the city’s air quality was suffering by the early 1990s. Mexico City became known internationally as the most polluted city in the world. In the past 20 years, the federal, state and city governments have carried out an ambitious program to improve air quality in the Valley of Mexico. The effort was one of the most efficient public policies ever developed in our country, where public policy planning, follow-up across different levels of government in different administrations, and critical and science-based policy evaluation are not very common.

    Soup at the Distinguished Table in Mexico City, 1830-1920

    SOUP AT THE DISTINGUISHED TABLE IN MEXICO CITY, 1830-1920 Nanosh Lucas A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2017 Committee: Amílcar Challú, Committee Co-Chair Franciso Cabanillas, Committee Co-Chair Amy Robinson Timothy Messer-Kruse © 2017 Nanosh Jacob Isadore Joshua Lucas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Amílcar Challú, Committee Co-Chair Francisco Cabanillas, Committee Co-Chair This thesis uses soup discourse as a vehicle to explore dimensions of class and hierarchies of taste in Mexican cookbooks and newspapers from 1830-1920. It contrasts soups with classic European roots, such as sopa de pan (bread soup), with New World soups, such as sopa de tortilla (tortilla soup) and chilaquiles (toasted tortillas in a soupy sauce made from chiles). I adopt a multi-disciplinary approach, combining quantitative methods in the digital humanities with qualitative techniques in history and literature. To produce this analysis, I draw from Pierre Bourdieu’s work on distinction and social capital, Max Weber’s ideas about modernization and rationalization, and Charles Tilly’s notions of categorical inequality. Results demonstrate that soup plays a part in a complex drama of inclusion and exclusion as people socially construct themselves in print and culinary practice. Elites attempted to define respectable soups by what ingredients they used, and how they prepared, served, and consumed soup. Yet, at the same time, certain soups seemed to defy hierarchical categorization, and that is where this story begins. iv To Lisa and Isadora Lucas. Thank you for your sacrifices.
