"Massacre in Mexico"
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper which discusses the book "Massacre in Mexico
by Elena Poniatowska. The focus of the paper centers on the fact that Poniatowska
presents numerous first hand accounts of the massacre, from both sides, and essentially
leaves the reader to be judge and jury, knowing full well they will have to, for the majority
of the readers, side with the notion that the massacre was wrong by all accounts. No
additional sources cited.

2 books on Latin America
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page research paper that compares and contrasts 2 texts on Latin American economics. The two texts profiled are Latin America at the Crossroads by H.J. Wiarda (1987) and Fast Forward, Latin America on the Edge of the 21st Century (1997). A through overview of each text is offered, and then the texts are contrasted for quality and content, which are--in both cases -- very good. However, the final assessment in regards to these texts is that their greatest drawback, in regards to applicability by the reader, is that neither book addresses current Latin American realities as one is 17 years out-of-date and the other is 7. No additional sources cited.

A Comparative Perspective on Mexicans and Cubans in the US
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing conditions in the US during the mid-1800s and then jumping
100 years forward to examine immigration patterns since 1959. Demographers predicted
long ago that Hispanics collectively would comprise the largest minority within the US by
the turn of the century, and such has proven to be true. What they failed to predict is the
dichotomy with which these two groups are viewed. The Anglos immigrated to areas
already occupied by both Native Americans and Mexicans, and treated each equally poorly.
There was little notice of immigrants from Cuba settling in the Tampa area in the 19th
century, and they were able to more closely preserve their traditional culture. Bibliography
lists 11 sources.
