  • Through the Eyes of a Bracero
    Through The Eyes of A Bracero A Senior Project presented to the Faculty of the History Department California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts by Karina Flores June, 2010 © 2010 Karina Flores I. INTRODUCTION “Dicen por allí” or the word around town was that “el Norte” was in search of men to harvest the fertile lands of California. Jose Carmen Flores did not fully understand what it meant to travel to the United States as a contracted labor worker. The few things he did know was that “prometieron un sueldo reasonable” or a reasonable salary was promised and he would be away from home for no more than 3 to 4 months at a time. He registered as a bracero and quickly left behind his young wife and his not yet born first baby, Eufemio. He made the journey to “el Norte” in the company of other wishful men who believed that their prayers to “la Virgen Maria” were being answered. Finally reaching “el Norte” brought tears to his eyes, “al fin llegue al pais de la esperanza,” meaning he arrived to the hopeful country. After migrating for several years between “el Norte” and Mexico, Jose Carmen’s hopes and dreams were shattered. “El sueldo reasonable” no longer held up to be true, and he was not paid for several of the jobs he conducted day in and day out. Braceros were like-minded in that they brought with them a limited understanding as well as unreliable images of life in the United States.

  • The LA Art Scene in the Political 1970S
    American Studies in Scandinavia, 48:1 (2016), pp. 61-83. Published by the Nordic Association for American Studies (NAAS). Claims by Anglo American feminists and Chicanas/os for alternative space: The LA art scene in the political 1970s Eva Zetterman University of Gothenburg Abstract: Originating in the context of the Civil Rights Movements and political ac- tivities addressing issues of race, gender and sexuality, the Women’s Liberation move- ment and the Chicano Movement became departures for two significant counter art movements in Los Angeles in the 1970s. This article explores some of the various reasons why Anglo American feminist artists and Chicana artists were not able to fully collaborate in the 1970s, provides some possible explanations for their separa- tion, and argues that the Eurocentric imperative in visual fine art was challenged already in the 1970s by Chicana/o artists in Los Angeles. In so doing, the art activism by Anglo American feminists and Chicanas/os is comparatively investigated with Los Angeles as the spatial framework and the 1970s as the time frame. Four main com- ponents are discussed: their respective political aims, alternative art spaces, peda- gogical frameworks and aesthetic strategies. The study found that the art activisms by Anglo American feminists and Chicanas/os differed. These findings suggest that a task ahead is to open up a dialogue with Chicana/o activist art, making space for more diverse representations of activities and political issues, both on the mainstream art scene and in the history of art. Keywords: the Los Angeles art scene – art activism – alternative art spaces – Chica- nas/os – feminism In the historiography of fine art, the 1970s is recognized as the decade when feminism entered the scene.

  • CLS Movie List
    CLS Movie List # 1492 Revisited This documentary provides an alternative "indigenous" perspective on the quincentenary of Columbus's arrival. It features provocative artwork from the touring national exhibition Counter Colon-Ialismo as well as challenging commentary by artists and scholars. The film also raises important questions about the nature and construction of history. Paul Espinoza, 1992 Color: 28 min. A Adelante Mujeres (2 copies) This video spans over five centuries and focuses on the history of Mexican American women and Chicanas dating from the Spanish invasion to the present. Hundreds of previously unpublished photographs, art works, and contemporary footage pay tribute to the strength and resilience of women as the center of their families, activists in their communities, and contributors to American history. National Women's History Project, 1992 Color: 30 min. After the Earthquake Before the revolution and after the earthquake, a woman from Managua unexpectedly encounters her Nicaraguan fiancé in San Francisco. The film questions the pursuit of self-serving interests in the face of larger issues, in this case the Somoza regime, and integrates political concerns with a love story. National Women's History Project, 1992 Color: 30 min. Agitating for Change: The Alliance Schools Initiative Eight years ago, many schools in Texas, like this one, were plagued by gangs, truancy, and poor academic results. Teachers were ready to try something new. Enter Ernie Cortes—a community organizer who is also disturbed by seeing kids turned off at school. Cortes formed an Alliance Schools Initiative to shake up public schools in working-class districts. The Cortes strategy was to work with churches and community activists to break down old hierarchies, to excite and empower teachers, and to reconnect schools to their communities.

  • Breaching Walls (Real and Imaginary): Arte Hispano-Americano [Latin American Art], 1000 C.E
    Breaching Walls (Real and Imaginary): Arte Hispano-Americano [Latin American Art], 1000 C.E. to 2017 C.E. A Guide to the Exhibition by Noel Dorsey Vernon A STUDENT EXHIBITION GUIDE FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY -- 11/12/17 (NDV) Author's Note This guide supports the art exhibition “Breaching Walls (Real and Imaginary)” held at Skyline Community College in November 2017, celebrating Latino Heritage Month. Many thanks to the administration and faculty of Skyline College for hosting and supporting it. Many thanks also to Arthur Takayama, Lorenzo Hernández and Cristina Hernández for organizing this exhibition. I am indebted to all of them for agreeing that a gallery guide might be of use and permitting me to author it. Thanks also to Professor Carlos Ugalde for taking the time to author "Comments on Art by Professor Carlos Ugalde for Lorenzo Hernández " which is included in this Exhibition Guide. My own background in Mexican and Hispano-American history is far less than was necessary to take on this project, so I spent a lot of time reading, looking at art, listening and asking questions. I had studied the history of Mexico many years ago in Guanajuato, Mexico, although my greatest interest was in Mexico's Pre-Columbian urban heritage. As a professor and Associate Dean of Environmental Design (now a Professor Emerita) in the CSU system, I was able to incorporate some this information into my landscape architecture history courses. I also am aware that much that has been written in English about Mexican art history was written by non-Mexicans. This has resulted in the misunderstanding that Mexican art history has been driven almost entirely by Western European art movements, styles and artists.
