In the early years of the clubs founding it achieved much success in the Amateur league but they did not get promoted to the premier league until 1943. Chivas struggled their first 10 years but then mirrored the success they had in their earlier years winning seven titles in nice years during a period in Chivas history that is know as “el campeonismo”. After this there was a decline and like most teams Guadalajara had its ups and downs. After learning about the racist practice that was adopted at such an early stage in the development of the club I hoped that this was abolished sometime after but it's still a prevalent idea in the mind of the Chivas organization today. Furthermore, I discovered a website that was about the history of Guadalajara,
Dia de los reyes magos is on Jan. 5 - Feb. 2 and the day is about the 3 wisemen, But January the 6th is the special day in Mexico….. this day represents the height of the Christmas season. This celebration is where it is stated that the kings, Melchor, Gaspar, and Balthasar, traveled by night all the way from the farthest confines of the Earth to bring gifts to Jesus, whom they recognized as the Son of God. As well as regal, the Three Kings are depicted as wise men, whose very wisdom is proved by their acknowledgement of Christ's divine status. Arrived from three different directions, the kings followed the light provided by the star of Bethlehem, which reportedly lingered over the manger where the Virgin Mary gave birth for many days. In
In Mario Suarez’s essay “El Hoyo” it is mainly about a small section of the city of Tucson. It is the area that has been inhabited by Chicanos. The term chicano is the short way of saying Mexicano. Suarez explains the good and the bad about El Hoyo. He says that he does not understand why people come back to El Hoyo, but there is something unexplainable about it that it does. It is possibly the human kindness of El Hoyo that brings people back.
Cinco de Mayo is usually confused with Mexican Independence day but that day is when Mexico fought French invaders. During 1910, Mexico revolted against its repressive rulers and adapted its new constitution. They came up with the term for those who were told in Mexico they weren’t Mexican and in America who weren’t American. They wanted to belong to both. While the Civil Rights movement is mostly known to give African-American rights but, Chicanos also fought for their rights. The term Chicano first became accepted during the Chicano Movement. Thus, Chicanos have many things to be proud of. Their Aztec ancestors were intelligent people who built a city on water and made all Chicanos royalty. Along with their Mexican ancestors won two revolutions and won against the huge French army. Trinidad Sanchez Jr., a poet, wrote about Chicano pride in his poem, “Why Am I so Brown?” Sanchez wrote the poem in order to call attention to that all should be proud of their skin color. His poem talks about Chicanos having honor in their skin color by using imagery, metaphors, and
Mexicans, as constructed by Menchaca, are a predominantly mestizo population whose mixed ancestry she traces to early Latin American civilizations. In 200 BC the largest city in the Americas, Teotihuacán, was founded. Teotihuacán would one day be the site of Mexico City, and by 650 AD there were between 120,000 and 250,000 inhabitants. (2) Groups that inhabited the region fro...
The history of Africans in Mexico is an oft-neglected facet of the cultural complexities of that country. In 1519, Hernando Cortes brought 6 African slaves with him to Mexico; these individuals served the conquest as personal servants, carriers, and laborers.[1] In the years to come, slavery would become a critical component of the colonial economy with approximately 2,000 slaves arriving each year 1580-1650; it is estimated that a total of 200,000 Africans were brought to Mexico during the colonial period.[2] Given this large number of slaves, the lengthy period of their importation, and the inevitable mixing of races, which took place throughout the colony, the historical and cultural significance of bozales, criollos, mulattoes, and zambos is far-reaching. The colonial period provides an excellent starting place for an examination of the significance of these groups not only because the institution of African slavery was introduced to New Spain at that time, but also because the regular influx of native Africans combined with the close attention paid to color-based castas in official records allows historians to trace the influence of African culture more readily during that period.
Latino immigrants also bring their own culture to the new country. In Tobar’s other book Translation Nation, Tobar meets a Latin local soccer league founder Flocelo Aguirre in Dalton, Tobar
...n, Gonzalez states his identity; "I am Aztec Prince and Christian Christ." This combination of culture is the basis of his poem, which can be found at http://www.pbs.org/chicano/joaquin.html, and is representative of the heritage of Mexican Americans. The concept of Aztlan is explained in Chicano!, and the mural ‘Corazon de Aztlan,’ found in Chicano Park (http://chicanopark.org/murals/north/n8.html ), reinforces the importance of this image in the lives of Chicanos. The myth of Aztlan symbolizes centuries of culture and struggles of Mexican Americans who went through incredibly difficult times throughout history, but never lost hope and always stayed strong, determined to one day be treated equally as citizens of the United States of America.
The traditions my parents instilled in me at a young age are important to me. They are part of my Latin culture and identity. One of the most important traditions that I value the most is our devotion to “La Virgen de Guadalupe” (The Virgin of Guadalupe), and although I don't go to church or share a specific a religion, I believe in La Virgen as a protector and a guardian figure and maintain her presence in my daily life.
The original cartel became a big issue more than two decades ago. The leader was Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo who knew he eventually was going to get arrested. He was wise enough, that before he was incarcerated he split his business between two cartels, the Sinaloa Cartel and Tijuana Cartel. Both were allies at the time, but as they grew they became in enemies. Of course, in the cartel an enemy is a dead man. The Tijuana cartel sent one of their hitmen to kill of the Sinaloa drug lord. The hitman made a mistake and killed a Catholic priest. Most Mexicans are Catholics, when this story reached the news Mexicans realized it was worse than they thought. Now, most of Mexico part of the Catholic religion so this made headlines and thats when Mexico realized they had a problem headed their way. Eventually the Tijuana cartel drug lord was arrested, but the Sinaloa drug lord is still on the loo...
Led by members known as Z-1 and Z-2, Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano and Jaime Gonzalez Duran changed the face of Mexican crime forever. The Zetas were then known for their brutality in their dealings with citizens and rival cartels that refused to cooperate with the Gulf Cartel. As the government started to crack down on crime, the Zetas continued to get more violent, recruiting more military members and submitting them through training of their own. As the Zetas grew and got higher up into the Gulf Cartel there was a lot of animosity. Gulf Cartel members were reluctant to let these new members get into the higher ups of the organization. This led to the Zetas pushing harder in their dealings and eventually fully splitting from the cartel to form the independent Los Zetas Cartel in 2010. The Zetas are now over 3000 members strong with most of them hav...
The history of political instability in Mexico and its need for revolution is very complex and dates back to the colonization of Mexico by the Spaniards in the 1500s. However, many aspects of the social situation of Mexico when the Revolution broke out can be attributed to the thirty-year dictatorship of President Porfrio Diaz, prior to 1911. The Revolution began in November of 1910 in an effort to overthrow the Diaz dictatorship. Under the Diaz presidency, a small minority of people, primarily relatives and friends, were in ...
Throughout the United States’ history, there have been numerous prominent civil rights groups, in which they have fought for individual rights of minority groups in the United States. Beginning in the 1960’s the Chicano Movement, or El Movimiento, became one of the more interesting civil rights movements, although, it is overshadowed by many of the more prevalent movements. At this time in the formation of the United States “the powers that be rule over a racist society, filled with hatred and ignorance. Our nation continues to be segregated along racial and economic lines,” expressed by Cesar Chavez. The Chicano Movement expanded the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement, giving a voice to those who otherwise did not have one. The movement
The Chicano community has endured and overcome many struggles since the conquest by conquistador in 1491 and eviction from Atzlan. Race was used by the white community as tool to structure inequality for the Chicano community by classifying the Chicano community as white but treat them as a minority community. Chicano activist during the Mexican American generation found community self-determination by becoming actively involved in their community and taking hold of their own destiny. The Mexican American activists created a new way of seeing themselves by taking the term Chicano and making the term a symbol for who they truly are and who they want to become. The new ethos of the new identity of a Chicano is community self-determination; it is a community that is in total control of its own destiny.
The second half of the Guadalajara Cartel, the Tijuana Cartel was started in the 1990s and by the early 2000s became one of the “biggest and most violent criminal groups in Mexico,” as stated by the article, “The Five Most Famous Drug Cartels”. Led by the Arellano Felix brothers, the nephews of Miguel, and later their own nephew, Luis Fernando Sanchez Arellano, the Tijuana Cartel suffered through many deaths and arrests, which made the group smaller, yet still influential.
