Makers of America: Class discussion and exercises
Makers Of America: The Latinos
Chapter 42:
The American People Face a New Century
Questions for Class Discussion
- What distinctive conditions have shaped
the experience of Latin American immigrants, especially Mexican-Americans,
in the United States?
- How has the proximity of Mexico to
the United States affected the relations of Mexican-Americans with both their
old and their new countries?
Suggested Student Exercises
- Examine those areas of the United States
that have been most affected by Hispanic or Mexican immigration. Consider
the likely impact of a large Hispanic presence on the politics, economics,
religion, and culture of those areas.
- Examine the changing image of Hispanic-Americans
in films, television, music, and other forms of popular culture. Perhaps use
some samples of earlier stereotypes from the 1940s or 1950s to demonstrate
the changes.
