  • HIV/AIDS Among Mexican Migrants and Recent Immigrants in California and Mexico
    INTRODUCTION HIV/AIDS Among Mexican Migrants and Recent Immigrants in California and Mexico Marı´a Teresa Herna´ndez, MPH,* George F. Lemp, DrPH, MPH,* Xo´chitl Castan˜eda, MPH,† Melissa A. Sanchez, MA,* Bart K. Aoki, PhD,* Roberto Tapia-Conyer, MD, MPH, MSc,‡ and Michael V. Drake, MD* his special issue contains original review articles by researchers from the University of TCalifornia and the Secretariat of Health of Mexico. The articles on epidemiology, pre- vention, and health care services review available published data and selected unpublished data on Mexican migrants in California specifically and across the United States. These articles identify research and intervention needs and, where available, document effective methods of outreach and interventions with the Mexican migrant population. An article addressing the issue within Mexico outlines the emerging data on the vulnerability of Mexi- cans migrating to the United States with regard to HIV, sexually transmitted diseases, and associated behaviors. Lastly, a concluding article presents an analysis of policies that serve as barriers or facilitators of prevention and care for Mexican migrants in California. All the articles offer compelling evidence for integrating tailored outreach, prevention, and health care services for the Mexican migrant population into the overall health care infrastructure of communities in California and Mexico. Patterns of transnational movement among Mexican citizens vary widely; therefore, the term migrant extends to all those groups of persons whose residence, work, and social patterns extend across the United States–Mexico border. This population includes individu- als at different stages of migration, their families, and individuals who are part of their social and economic networks in California and Mexico.

Obviamente a Gilberto y a Roselia: Mi agradecimiento eterno y mayor cariño. A Tania: Porque tú sacrificio lo llevo en mi corazón.

Eta tesis no existiría sin ustedes, los recordaré con gran afecto. Resumen. La presente tesis de investigación se inserta dentro de los debates contemporáneos sobre cultura urbana en la frontera norte de México y se resume en tres grandes premisas: la primera es que el corrido y el metal forman parte de dos estructuras musicales de larga duración y cambio lento cuya permanencia es una forma de patrimonio cultural. Para desarrollar esta premisa se elabora una reconstrucción historiográfica desde la irrupción de los géneros musicales en el siglo XIX, pasando a la apropiación por compositores tijuanenses a mediados del siglo XX, hasta llegar al testimonio de primera mano de los músicos contemporáneos.

  • Mexican Corridos, the Aural Border, and the Evocative Musical Renderings of Transnational Youth
    “Los Músicos”: Mexican Corridos, the Aural Border, and the Evocative Musical Renderings of Transnational Youth CATI V. DE los RÍOS University of California, Davis In this research article, Cati V. de los Ríos examines US-Mexican transnational youths’ engagement with the Mexican musical genre corridos, border folk ballads, and its subgenre, narcocorridos, folk ballads that illuminate elements of the drug trade and often glamorize drug cartels. She draws from ethnographic methods to pre- sent empirical knowledge of four young musicians’ critical readings of these genres and their place-making and community-binding practices across their public high school. She demonstrates how these transnational youth draw from their communi- cative practices to construct meaningful communities on their school campus and details how their evocative musical school performances serve as a cultural resistance to contemporary anti-migrant sentiments. Rather than positioning youth consump- tion of narcocorridos as simply a “deviant” activity, the findings argue that youth engage critically, intellectually, and aesthetically with narcocorridos as a popular culture practice and that some songs carry important transnational critiques and lessons on capitalism, state-sanctioned violence, and globalization. Keywords: migrant children, consciousness raising, music, popular culture, literacy The collective consciousness of people, especially for those who belong to migrant communities, is often rooted in place, tradition, locality, and music (Chávez, 2017; Schmidt Camacho, 2008; Simonett, 2001a; Stokes, 1994). Music can deeply inform one’s sense of place as it “evokes and organizes collective memories and presents experiences of place with intensity, power and sim- plicity unmatched by any other social activity” (Stokes, 1994, p. 3).

  • Mexican Drug Ballads: Do They Promote Violence?
    International Journal of Linguistics, Literature and Culture (Linqua- IJLLC) December 2014 edition Vol.1 No.3 MEXICAN DRUG BALLADS: DO THEY PROMOTE VIOLENCE? Kristen L. Richmond, MA Deputy Sheriff, Brooke County Sheriff’s Department, Wellsburg, West Virginia, USA Rodney G. Richmond, RPh, MS, CGP, FASCP Associate Professor, Harding University College of Pharmacy, Searcy, Arkansas, USA Abstract Narcocorridos, or Mexican drug ballads, are a contemporary form of the corrido connected to banda music in the northern part of Mexico and along the border in the United States. The narcocorrido is sometimes compared to gangsta rap due to its exciting narratives of drug traffickers who rose above poor socioeconomic conditions to become powerful and wealthy figures in the drug trade. The stories reflected in narcocorridoshighlight the lifestyle of drug lords and aspects of drug trade that are imbued with violence. Narcocorrido lyrics focus on misfortunes and death while referencing events related to illegal criminal activities of the drug trade. Violent depictions have led to narcocorridos being banned in parts of Mexico and the U.S. However, narcocorridos are mild in comparison to the hyper- violence experienced in real, everyday life as a result of drug trafficking. Narcocorridos are not a cause of drug trafficking, instead they are an effect or aspect of narcocultura. Keywords: Narcocorrido, drug ballad, banda, drug trafficking, gangsta rap music, violence, Mexico Introduction Drug trafficking has infiltrated social and cultural arenas and has given rise to an oppositional culture commonly referred to as narcocultura, a culture obsessed with drugs, violence and death. This subculture has evolved into a physical and cultural construct referred to as the “Drug War Zone” (Sullivan 2012).

  • The Dark Side of Transnational Latinidad: Narcocorridos and the Branding of Authenticity
    The dark side of transnational Latinidad: narcocorridos and the branding of authenticity Hector Amaya Associate Professor of Media Studies University of Virginia In Contemporary Latin@/Latin American Media, edited by Arlene Davila and Yeidy Rivero. New York University Press (forthcoming 2014). On October 20, 2011, Billboard put together the First Billboard Mexican Music Awards. The event was co-organized with Telemundo, the second largest Spanish-language television network in the United States. The Awards would recognize excellence in Billboard’s Regional Mexican Music category. Prior to 2011, Regional Mexican Music was recognized during the Billboard Latin Music Awards. Yet, as a testament to the sheer power of the Regional Mexican category, Billboard and Telemundo bet that the standalone ceremony would be a television and marketing success. They were correct. Five million people, almost 2.8 million adults in the coveted 18-49 demographic, saw the show. The ceremony also became one of the five highest ranked entertainment shows of 2011 for Telemundo, and won the ratings war in Los Angeles and Miami among men 18-34 (Cobo 2011). Billboard’s Regional Mexican category refers to a radio format that includes banda, norteño, mariachi, grupero and ranchera music. This format is the most popular among Mexican-Americans in the United States, due in part to the large number of immigrants from northern Mexico who reside in the United States. Cementing the category’s relevance is the fact that Regional Mexican accounts for more than 60% of sales in Billboard’s broader Latin Music category. By all these accounts and its success in Los Angeles, a city dominated by Mexican-Americans, and Miami, a city dominated by Cuban-Americans, Puerto Ricans, and immigrants from other Latin American nations, this ceremony was of huge significance to Latinos in the United States and to the media industries that court them (Cobo 2008).
