An Interdisciplinary Approach Social Education 71(4), pp 187–190 ©2007 National Council for the Social Studies Teaching Modern Latin America in the Social Science Curriculum: An Interdisciplinary Approach Adriana Novoa One of the most frequent challenges faced by those who teach Latin America at any level is how to provide a sense of the diversity of the region. The risks range Below: A visitor looks at a mural by from simplifying and reducing the multiplicity of experience through the study David Alfaro Siqueiros in one of the 16 of dominant cultures and cultural forms, on the one hand, to including too much rooms which underwent restoration at the Museum of Chapultepec Castle, information or too many groups and overwhelming students in the process, on the January 28, 2004, in Mexico City. other hand.

One of the lesser known works from the series, The Rape, in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, exemplifies Orozco’s horrific vision of the Revolution. In a ransacked room, a soldier mounts a half-naked woman, pinning her down to the floor by her arms and hair. He perpetuates a violation committed by the other figures leaving the room—one disheveled soldier, viewed from the back, lifts his pants to cover his rear as a shadowy figure exits through the parted curtains to the right of the drawing.

Sokol Javier Villa-Flores, Latin American and Latino Studies Cristián Roa-de-la-Carrera, Latin American and Latino Studies Bram Dijkstra, University of California San Diego I dedicate this project to my parents, Rosemary and Cas Galpin. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My committee deserves many thanks. I would like to recognize Dr. Hannah Higgins, who took my project on late in the process, and with myriad commitments of her own. I will always be grateful that she was willing to work with me. Dr. David Sokol spent countless hours reading my writing. With great humor and insight, he pushed me to think about new perspectives on this topic. I treasure David’s tremendous generosity and his wonderful ability to be a strong mentor. I have known Dr. Javier Villa-Flores and Dr. Cristián Roa-de-la-Carrera for many years, and I cherish the knowledge they have shared with me about the history of Mexico and theory. The independent studies I took with them were some of the best experiences I had at the University of Illinois-Chicago. I admire their strong scholarship and the endurance they had to remain on my committee.

INTRODUCTION Ethel Duffy Turner was born on April 21, 1885, in San Pablo, California, the eldest of the seven Duffy children who grew to maturity. When she was ten, her father became a guard at San Quentin state prison, thus beginning the long and constructive association of the Duffy family with that institution. Mrs. Turner s years there, at grammar school on the prison grounds, then high school at San Rafael, and finally college at the University of California, formed the background for her novel, One-Way Ticket. Her college career closed a year before graduation when she married the twenty- six-year -old Socialist journalist, John Kenneth Turner, who later wrote Barbarous Mexico. Mrs. Turner s adult life has been divided into two parts.

Manuel Gamio. Forjando Patria. El lugar del indio maya en la comunidad como un ciudadano libre, autosuficiente y seguro de sí mismo, determinará la medida en que los sacrificios y la amargura de la Revolución tendrán que ser justificados. Todo lo demás es asunto sin importancia, todo lo demás no tiene consecuencia. ¿Qué ha ganado el indio con la Revolución en Yucatán? La respuesta a esta pregunta debe ser la base de cualquier juicio honesto respecto de nuestro trabajo. Felipe Carrillo Puerto. El nuevo Yucatán. Cada presente evoca sus pasados y las recientes autono- mías neozapatistas de Chiapas como los altermundismos andino-amazónicos de Bolivia y Ecuador, llaman a repen- sar el socialismo maya de hace 90 años. Hoy, cuando los pueblos originarios de Nuestra América (Martí: 21-30) se sacan la espina, es oportuno asomarse de nuevo a la ex- periencia libertaria yucateca impulsada entre 1915 y 1924 por el adelantado del neoindianismo revolucionario que fue Felipe Carrillo Puerto. —7— Armando Bartra Modernidad canalla En el sureste mexicano del siglo XIX la división internacio- nal del trabajo que imponen el colonialismo y después el imperialismo, se muestra en el surgimiento y expansión de plantaciones tropicales y monterías, orientadas al mercado externo y sostenidas por ingentes inversiones extranjeras. Una economía de enclave que, a diferencia de lo que ocu- rría en el centro del país, donde las mudanzas tenían cierta continuidad y se insertaban en la dinámica socioeconómica nacional, impone un brusco quiebre en el curso de forma- ciones agrarias locales de origen colonial que se ven abrup- tamente arrastradas al torbellino del capital trasnacional.
