"•:•//-]- ^:^ To My Mother FANNIE GEIGER THOMPSON my fellow-man, Who made the living of life, the loving of polestar and the understanding of both, the of my growing years ' ' /' ''- •'/, V*.' To its observation' of Mexico the world has brought ahnost every element of Ulumination save one,—and that the most essential of all. It has neglected the imiversal touchstone of under- standing, older than Solomon; the dictum that "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he." Neither in our writings upon Mexico nor in our practical deaUngs with the Mexicans, have we sought out the fountainhead of all their action and of all their failure,—the Mexican mind itself. Here, first and last, has been our basic error of approach, the wreck of all our desires to help or to use the Mexicans. The book which is offered here seeks to remedy, in part, this error of the past and to give a ground which may help to obviate its repetition in the future. Here is a humble beginning of a study to which many minds and many years should be devoted,—the clarifying of the mutual understand- ing of the Latin and the Saxon peoples of the West- ern Hemisphere by a frank comparison of the work- ings of their minds. Of all those who have written of Mexico, or indeed of any part of Latin America, not one has taken up the vital problem of psychology in any ;.,;' PREFACE "';.;;, but the most .incidental way. Thii^'tjiis book is based upon' no source; naateFial.; it lias lio," authori- ties" save the stan^r^ M'ori^ on general psy- — , chology arid tho stories and illusti:atiofis, which have been takeii'wherever they coulcl,|ja found. Only my own'/pyevious book, "The People of Mexico," ^ may.perli9^s;be-s:^q.'rded as the source book of the present voll!i6e.,'.'-liowever, although "The Mexican Mind" 'is in* d, way the third of a trilogy of studies (the first two being comprised in the two sections of "The People of Mexico, Who They Are and How They Live"), it is no more closely related to my previous Mexican book than —it would be to a similar work by some other author, ^if such a book existed. There, as here, I sailed forth on xmcharted seas; and here, as there, I hope only that such hght as I have been able to throw upon the course will serve to guide those whose sailing must ultimately be the hope of Mexico. The generous welcome which the critics and the pubUc accorded "The People of Mexico" brought forth but one serious criticism, and that was of failure to delineate a solution for the difficulties which were described. And yet there has always been but one solution,—the education of the Mexi- can mass. All else is but subterfuge and momen- tary reUef . The details of that educational solution which I have now set forth in this book required, for their understanding, an exposition of Mexican character. Here, then, is that exposition, and with ' "The People of Mexico," Harper & Brothers, New York, 1921. X PREFACE it my suggestions of the fundamental bases upon which Mexican education must be founded. I hope and pray that in some way and some time, ere many years have passed, they, or a development of them, will be apphed. I can see no other hope for a country which I have long loved and to whose service all my Mexican books have been dedicated. I can, as I say, credit no source material for what has been written on these pages. But much aid has come to me, in consultation with many friends who know Mexico well, in the suggestions of unex- plained incidents in many travel books and in such reports as have come to my hands. Of the many others directly and indirectly con- tributing to the book, I want to speak first of my old master. Doctor Daniel Moses Fisk, Professor of Sociology in Washburn College, whose teachings these many years ago laid the foundations for both of these efforts of mine. Truly, if ever man were the grandfather of books, he bears that designation here. A word of tribute must go to all those Mexican friends whose grave and delightful minds have added so much of inspiration (and a word of regret when I re-read what I have had of necessity to say of their people) ; and of these friends, especially to one. Doctor Toribio Esquivel Obregon, a gentleman of the most courtly school, and a student of inviting learning. Of personal appreciation there is one word: to my wife, Marian Gilhooly Thompson, who to all my books on Mexico has brought not only the PREFACE wealth of her own observations of the Mexicans and of the other peoples of Latin America, but also the intuition and understanding which has smoothed the rough places and clarified my own ideas.

These are the streams of two races, white and red, races which in mind and in hving were as far apart as the globe which separated them. The red stream, moving along through ages be- fore the white appeared, had become, ere the meet- ing, an ocean which covered two continents. It was into that ocean that the blood of the white stream pom-ed in the two great rivers which swept westward from North and South Europe in the six- teenth and seventeenth centuries. In the north our Anglo-Saxon river pushed back the red, build- ing a wall, a dike, which we advanced by slow years ever westward, inclosing those pools of red we left behind us, but never mingling. But in the South, Spain poured her blood and' culture and civilization into the red sea, softening its menacing color and 1 THE MEXICAN MIND crying jojiully in triumph when, here or there, a pool paled to European purity. Through three centuries this mingUng went on, and in Mexico the blood of three himdred thousand white men was poured into the sea of six million red men to the making of what they called a new race, the mestizo, or mixed breed.

Momentous modifications of existing race-relations were evidently impending, and nothing could be more vital to the course of human evolution than the character of these modifications, since upon the quality of human life all else depends. Acoordingly, my attention was thenceforth largely directed to racial matters.

    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).

    Report of the Psychology Project Team: Establishment of a National Psychology Placement Office Report of the National Psychology Project Team: Establishment of a National Psychology Placement Office and Workforce Planning 15 January 2021 1 Report of the Psychology Project Team: Establishment of a National Psychology Placement Office Foreword Following a review of Eligibility Criteria for staff and senior grade psychologists in 2016, an Implementation Group was established to implement the revised standards. The Implementation Group recommended the establishment of a National Psychology Placement Office. Inter alia an action from the Department of Health, to prepare a workforce plan for psychological services in the HSE, including an examination of the framework for training psychologists for the health service and the type and skill-mix required for the future, was required, HSE Community Operations convened a Project Team to progress the recommendation of the Implementation Group and to make a contribution to a workforce plan for psychological services provided for, and funded by, the HSE. The Project Team that developed this Report included representation from Clinical, Counselling and Educational Psychology; Social Care, Disability, and Mental Health services; Community and Acute services, Operational and Strategic HR, and the Health and Social Care Professions office. The work of the Project Team was also informed by a stakeholder consultation process. Cross-sectoral and stakeholder involvement reflects the intent to ensure all relevant stakeholders continue to feed into the management of student placements and workforce planning into the future. It is anticipated that the governance and oversight structures to be established under the placement office will embody stakeholder collaboration and engagement.

  • Nationalism, Ethnic Conflict, and Class Struggle: a Critical Analysis of Mainstream and Marxist Theories of Nationalism and National Movements
    NATIONALISM, ETHNIC CONFLICT, AND CLASS STRUGGLE: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF MAINSTREAM AND MARXIST THEORIES OF NATIONALISM AND NATIONAL MOVEMENTS Berch Berberoglu Department of Sociology University of Nevada, Reno Introduction The resurgence of nationalism and ethnonationalist con ict in the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union and its associated Eastern European states in their transition from a form of socialism to a market- oriented direction led by bourgeois forces allied with world capitalism during the decade of the 1990s, has prompted a new round of discus- sion and debate on the origins and development of nationalism and the nation-state that has implications for contemporary nationalism and nationalist movements in the world today. This discussion and debate has been framed within the context of classical and contemporary social theory addressing the nature and role of the state and nation, as well as class and ethnicity, in an attempt to understand the relationship between these phenomena as part of an analysis of the development and transformation of society and social relations in the late twentieth century. This paper provides a critical analysis of classical and contemporary mainstream and Marxist theories of the nation, nationalism, and eth- nic con ict. After an examination of select classical bourgeois statements on the nature of the nation and nationalism, I provide a critique of contemporary bourgeois and neo-Marxist formulations and adopt a class analysis approach informed by historical materialism to explain the class nature and dynamics of nationalism and ethnonational con ict. Critical Sociology 26,3 206 berch berberoglu Mainstream Theories of the Nation and Nationalism Conventional social theories on the nature and sources of national- ism and ethnic con ict cover a time span encompassing classical to con- temporary statements that provide a conservative perspective to the analysis of ethnonational phenomena that have taken center stage in the late twentieth century.

  • The Birth of Chinese Feminism Columbia & Ko, Eds
    & liu e-yin zHen (1886–1920?) was a theo- ko Hrist who figured centrally in the birth , karl of Chinese feminism. Unlike her contem- , poraries, she was concerned less with China’s eds fate as a nation and more with the relation- . , ship among patriarchy, imperialism, capi- talism, and gender subjugation as global historical problems. This volume, the first translation and study of He-Yin’s work in English, critically reconstructs early twenti- eth-century Chinese feminist thought in a transnational context by juxtaposing He-Yin The Bir Zhen’s writing against works by two better- known male interlocutors of her time. The editors begin with a detailed analysis of He-Yin Zhen’s life and thought.
