The American Southwest: Pride Prejudice Perseverance
Experience the Southwest as never before! Learn facts that most history books refuse to disclose in an easy-to-read and concise format.
The American Southwest: Pride-Prejudice-Perseverance (updated in 2019), begins with an overview of the ancient Native Americans, followed by the exploration and settlements of Spanish explorers, its continuing existence under Mexican rule, and the land-grabbing acquisition by the United States that amounted to nearly half the size of Mexico at a time when Mexico was economically and militarily impoverished due to years of civil wars and repeated changes in dictatorship.
Section two covers immigration that began with the US recruiting Mexican nationals as replacements in the workforce during WW I, then was quickly followed by mass deportations at the end of the war. Millions of people (as many as 60% were American citizens) were forcefully displaced without due process. Sections three and four depict the Latino experience in the US and section five explores the current state and upward trend of Latinos and education.
