Stories in Mexico and the United States About the Border
STORIES IN MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES ABOUT THE BORDER: THE RHETORIC AND THE REALITIES GLORIA VALENCIA-WEBER & ANTOINETTE SEDILLO LOPEZ* I. Introduction Immigration was a hot topic before the failure of the June 2007 United States (U.S.) President's Immigration Reform Bill1 and remains so today. 2 President Obama has promised to work on comprehensive immigration reform.3 This initiative will, of course, involve popular discourse and press coverage. During the time in which the 2007 Immigration Reform Bill was being considered, the media on both sides of the Mexico-U.S. border published numerous * Gloria Valencia-Weber, J.D.

Dual Nationality for Mexicans?
ARTICLES DUAL NATIONALITY FOR MEXICANS? A COMPARATIVE LEGAL ANALYSIS OF THE DUAL NATIONALITY PROPOSAL AND ITS EVENTUAL POLITICAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS JORGE A. VARGAS4 INTRODUCrION Recently, the government of Mexico has been pondering whether to amend its Constitution so its nationals will not be le- gally allowed to voluntarily abandon their nationality, even when they become naturalized citizens of another country. Contrary to the policy followed by Mexico since it became politically in- dependent in 1821,' pursuing this proposal would mean that the t Acting Professor of Law, University of San Diego School of Law.

The CSRC is also a co-founder and serves as the official archive of the Inter-University Program for Latino Research (IUPLR, est. 1983), a consortium of Latino research centers that now includes twenty-four institutions dedicated to increasing the number of scholars and intellectual leaders conducting Latino-focused research. The CSRC houses a library and special collections archive, an academic press, externally-funded research projects, community-based partnerships, competitive grant and fellowship programs, and several gift funds. It maintains a public programs calendar on campus; at local, national, and international venues; and online. The CSRC also maintains strategic research partnerships with UCLA schools, departments, and research centers, as well as with major museums across the U.S. The CSRC holds six (6) positions for faculty that are appointed in academic departments.

Transnational Sports and Identities in Southern California and Mexico, 1930–1945
Playing Across Borders: Transnational Sports and Identities in Southern California and Mexico, 1930–1945 JOSÉ M. ALAMILLO The author is a member of the Chicana/o studies program at California State University, Channel Islands. This article examines the local and transnational dimensions of sports in Southern California through the activities of the Mexican Athletic Association of South- ern California (MAASC) from the Great Depression to the end of World War II. This amateur athletic organization promoted sports in the barrios and colonias throughout Southern California and forged transnational ties with the Mexican government and its sports federation. MAASC and its related activities reflected two competing historical trajectories that have been subjects of debate in Chicano historiography. MAASC sports simultaneously reinvigorated transnational ties with Mexico that emphasized a México de afuera identity and contributed to the making of a Mexican American identity that connected immigrants to Southern California and American society in general. Ultimately, both impulses helped to instill a new political confidence among MAASC members to challenge the Los Angeles Department of Playground and Recreation’s paternalistic approach toward the Mexican community. José Arteaga was born in Baja California, Mexico, moved to Los Angeles during his teen years, and in 1921 teamed up with Lamberto Alvarez Gayou to form the first all-Mexican basket- ball team, “Bohemia.” Gayou eventually became the president of Mexico’s first sports federation, and Arteaga became a basketball player and coach in the city’s new amateur athletic association. Arteaga coached several teams, with only the best players chosen to play exhibition games in Mexico. -

This project is funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services and the full title of the project is Chicago community informatics: Places, Uses, Resources. Our interest here is to examine the population of Chicago, in particular a subset of ethnicities and community areas, and analyze how these communities are navigating the digital age. Stage one is to understand the communities today and discover how they are represented in cyberspace. Thus our initial products include a webliography/bibliography on each community and we are honored to partner with experts on these communities. Further work entails surveying the communities for public access computing sites (Places), interviewing members of community organizations on how they use digital tools (Uses), and helping a subset of these groups create digital resources that represent their cultural heritage and identity (Resources). The project’s theoretical framework centers on social capital and social networks. -
