Origin and Organizational Structure The information presented in this section is coming from a correspondence sent the Research Directorate on the 18 June 2012 by an associate researcher at the Chihuahua College (Colegio de Chihuahua), also member of the UNESCO Chair on drugs in Mexico. Based on his database consisting of around 3,500 archives on gangs in the Americas, the associate researcher indicated that the gang Vatos Locos was created during the 1940s in Los Angeles by Mexicans and Mexican-Americans. During the 1970s and 1980s the gang was partly consolidated in prison, extending its alliances and mode of recruitment. Recent recruits include ex-military personnel returning from Afghanistan and Iraq. Some gangs outside the US probably took the Vatos Locos name from the 1993 film Blood In, Blood Out. Members of Vatos Locos refer to themselves as a "nation" that shares common aspects but still allows each individual gang a certain degree of autonomy.

  • Racial Images Using the Biohazard Metaphor in US Media Sinan Isik
    Racial Images Using the Biohazard Metaphor in US Media Sinan Isik “This is Islamism, it is a vicious cancer inside the body of 1.7 billion people on this planet and it has to be excised.” – Mike Flynn, ret. Lieutenant General and former National Security Advisor to President Donald Trump (Kaczynski, 2016) “Islam is a disease; we need to vaccinate ourselves against that.” – Pauline Hanson, Australian Senator (Remeikis, 2017) Research Problem Of the literature on race in US politics, very little of it deals with the Middle-Eastern community. One obvious explanation is that the Census, and many other large US surveys, operationalize Middle-Easterners as part of (or a subcategory of) the “white” or “Caucasian” category. This could also be in part because it is a relatively small segment of the population compared to other more often-analyzed racial minorities. A third possible explanation is that the US did not start welcoming immigrants from that region in large numbers until after quotas were loosened following the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, so it is a relatively new immigrant community. Regardless of the reason, this lack of attention leaves lots of room for analysis from future scholarship. Much of the literature that does exist on the US Middle-Eastern community is limited to considering immigrant incorporation, or sometimes voter turnout. Furthermore, usually they are analyzed as American Muslims, rather than as Middle-Eastern Americans. While it is worthwhile to consider this religious identity component, it may lose any nuance of issues specifically related to racial identity. Especially in terms of understanding discrimination in the US, race is just as important a factor to analyze as religion, if not more so.

  • Between What Is and What Could Be: the Clarion Alley Mural Project Aaron Noble, 2005
    Between What Is and What Could Be: The Clarion Alley Mural Project Aaron Noble, 2005 Cuando regresemos a nuestra antigua tierra Que nunca conocimos Y platiquemos de todas esas cosas Que nunca han sucedido Caminaremos llevando de la mano ninos Que nunca han existido Escucharemos sus voces y viviremos Esa vida de la que tanto hablamos Y nunca hemos vivido When we return to our ancient land Which we never knew And talk about all those things That have never happened We will walk holding the hands of children Who have never existed We will listen to their voices and we will live That life which we have spoken of so often And have never lived -- Daisy Zamora Alfonso Texidor chose this poem for Clarion Alley in 1993 as the first murals were being painted. It consists of four utopian assertions, each one qualified –nearly negated-- by the harrow of this world. These assertions claim the importance of Place, History, Nurturance and Listening, the last of which is most closely associated with an ideal life. Could this sorrowful brief poem be any more opposed to the way things are moving in San Francisco today? Could Alfonso have thrown us any more of a curve ball? The best history of the Clarion Alley Mural Project would be a listening project, assembled from interviews with one or two or three hundred people and would fill a small book at least.
