Most of the readings have a thing in common, they talk about what has been happening in Mexico with the press in the last years, but they give a special emphasis’ to what happened in Veracruz , the murder of 2 journalists.
Who Killed Rubén Espinosa and Nadia Vera? Is the name of the fist text that basically gives us information about what happened. Rubén Espinoza says that he moved from Veracruz to Mexico city because his life was in danger because he had been protesting against Javier Duarte´s government. When he got to Mexico City he met with Nadia Vera, an activist. Some newspapers reported that neighbors heard that there was a loud party that night, but this statements ended up being false, after this, another report mentioned that the neighbors didn´t heard anything, no gunshots or something. Daniel Pacheco was the man identified as the guilty, admitted he was there with Abraham and Omar because they went to see a friend that lied there too but he never saw Rubén and Nadia or either heard a gunshot. Days after, Pacheco was recognized in the images of the security camera, he was arrested. Abraham and Omar are fugitives.
The other two articles mention how hard has life been for journalists last years due to repression, it also gives names of the ones that have been murdered or despaired and a short

Pedro Canché met Rubén Espinoza in a Cofee place, they started talking about Javier Duarte and Roberto Borge the governors of Veracruz and Quinta Roo, the estates that have become the most dangerous for the journalist and freedom of speech. Nadia Vera was there too, they were discussing about the bad government and the murders that had been occurring. Rubén clearly knows that who is following him is Javier Duarte, he doesn’t want to be the number 13, he said, that is why he came to Mexico City. Finally he mentioned that the admires the people that does not sell themselves to the government and have a perfect
Though the court case of the “Scandal at the Church” has no documented resolution, historical fact and conjecture leads to the belief that Mr. de Alfaro would not only lose the case, but family as well. From class and honour, to gender norms, race and maritally acceptable jealousy, there is nothing to support Mr. de Alfaro’s plea to convict this wife’s attackers. Knowing that Mr. Bravo had several other pending court cases and no prior convictions further suggests that the Bravo family was virtually untouchable, while Mr. de Alfaro’s family was simply expendable. Though 18th century Mexico was an extreme time, elements of such places have remained though the years as illustrated by prejudices and discrimination in the modern day world, leading to – similar to the court case – many injustices going unpunished due to vastly similar factors. With class and race are subtle factors in the modern day court system, the system does not seem to be on a path of change, though things have bettered over the years.
Martinez’s story is not so much one that pieces together the events of the crash, nor the lives of the three youths, but it is an immigrant’s tale, discovered through the crossings of the various Chavez family members and profiles of Cheranos in Mexico.
...e live seem to be too dangerous for them to fell happy. However, they are against the evil and violence, ignorance and lie. Corchado is quite unsure about the future of Mexico, but he also sees that these people are strong willed and they have chance to make some change in the way they live. He doesn’t pay attention to politics, instead of that he relies solely on people, their courage and strong will. We should all be so strong enough to change, what we want to change, and preserve what we need to preserve. Alfredo Corchado showed us the example of how brave hearted a person should be and how much we should all love our motherland. After reading this book, you won’t remain ignorant about Mexico and the journalism in general.
In both the movie, La Misma Luna, and the newspaper series, Enrique’s Journey, migrants are faced with many issues. The most deadly and scarring issues all relate back to bandits, judicial police, and la migra or Mexican immigration officers. The problems that arise are serious to the point of rape, robbing, and beating. It is not easy crossing the border illegally and secretly, but the successful ones have an interesting or even traumatic story about how it worked for them.
Through analyzing the underlying themes of Zoot Suit it is clear that Pacheco isn't real because sometimes he is really there and other times only Henry can hear him. The press is shown to have a lot of digression and influences on public views but this freedom has allowed a door to open and for something or someone to stand up and fight for their beliefs and make them heard. If the true goal is to have equal treatment of all people no matter color they are, what sex god made them, or what style they choose wear on the outside then this goal will be achieved. The author gives a good representation of true Mexican American beliefs and brings Pacheco to life.
The author of Mexican Lives, Judith Adler Hellman, grapples with the United States’ economic relationship with their neighbors to the south, Mexico. It also considers, through many interviews, the affairs of one nation. It is a work held to high esteem by many critics, who view this work as an essential part in truly understanding and capturing Mexico’s history. In Mexican Lives, Hellman presents us with a cast from all walks of life. This enables a reader to get more than one perspective, which tends to be bias. It also gives a more inclusive view of the nation of Mexico as a whole. Dealing with rebel activity, free trade, assassinations and their transition into the modern age, it justly captures a Mexico in its true light.
According to the text “ there were relatively few stories or images focusing on aging, poverty, isolation, crime and fear, and the ethno racial, or gender distribution of mortality, morbidity, and access to care.” They went to the extreme by looking for more information and pictures with people in body bags to put on their front page. People use the media as their information source to guide them on what is going on in their countries and around the world. What is portrayed in the media is often taken as true even if it actually is not completely accurate. Throughout the text it was clear to see that there is pressure when it comes to the media. News reporter often think about what they are going to present to the public because it has to be brain washing and appealing, but they also want to keep their connections to sources such as public officials. This means what they end up reporting is effected by what public officials will approve of, to make them look
On the one hand, in Ernesto Guevara’s diary social injustice is easily detected, and portrayed in a quite moving way, both through some key incidents that were responsible for Ernesto’s new understanding of the world, and Ernesto’s words when narrating his own reflections about these episodes. Firstly, when Ernesto went to visit the sick old woman in Valparaiso, who suffered asthma and a heart condition, is a situation that gives a clear view of the poor reality that some people had to face everyday because they did not have even the minimum conditions to survive with dignity, and on top of that, the sadness of people turned themselves into a nuisance for their family just for the fact of being sick. Secondly, Ernesto’s encounter with the couple of communist workers harassed by their political ideas in Baquedano, who did not have a single blanket to protect themselves from the freezing cold of the desert night, enable us to see, as Ernesto wrote, the representation of the proletariat of the world. Moreover, this couple showed him the ruthless reality of so many people in Chile who were pursued, tortured and disappeared for their...
The movie, “The Perfect Dictatorship” (“La Dictadura Perfecta”), directed and produced by Luis Estrada and released in 2014, is a political, satirical comedy story of two reporters attempting to repair the image of a corrupt governor after he signs a deal with the boss of their television company, Television Mexicana. That’s one way we could describe the plot of the movie. Another would be that the movie depicts the inherent corruption of the Mexican government and the lengths to which they will go to retain (or regain) their reputation. Equally, we could see the movie as a demonstration of the corruption of the Mexican media and the ways in which the media influences and effects politics. In fact, the
...ish when they first compose Mexico, then more tardy by American historians not lately this hundred. The removal of these texts is incredibly disquieted in bear a “unity” for the SMS, and that of the irrational variance in the translations of these texts their “personalities” are sufficiently clear. In deduction I would preference to arrange out that while there are many similarities between these texts, most of them are either in trivial blaze-impartial, uniform level they have in general, or how our association examines them as an interval of gaze aged enlightenment.

Life in Mexico was, before the Revolution, defined by the figure of the patron that held all of power in a certain area. Juan Preciado, who was born in an urban city outside of Comala, “came to Comala because [he] had been told that [his] father, a man named Pedro Paramo lived there” (1). He initially was unaware of the general dislike that his father was subjected to in that area of Mexico. Pedro was regarded as “[l]iving bile” (1) by the people that still inhabited Comala, a classification that Juan did not expect. This reveals that it was not known by those outside of the patron’s dominion of the cruel abuse that they levied upon their people. Pedro Paramo held...
To begin with the story “The Censors” by Luisa Valenzuela was written to depict an event that was happening in the world at the time. In which was the time when Argentina overthrew the government in 1976. The new government was strict and killed thirteen to fifteen thousand innocent without even giving them the chance because the government feared that the poor would eventually try to overthrow the government. With that in mind, the main character in our story Juan begins with a conflicting that he is facing internally. Juan was worried about whether or not the letter he sent to Marina would make it to her house safely or would they become a victim to the government. So he decides to become one of the working men for the censors so that he would get his letter back
All three of the bodies of literature deliver a detailed look into what took place during that era of massacres, but this essay will examine the work of Elena Poniatowska, Massacre in Mexico. The events that took place during the Mexican student movement, lasted from July until October of 1968. Within Elena Poniatowska’s body of work are a compilation of oral histories and photographs. Although Poniatowska’s work is different from the other two authors, they all share the same goal of displaying a search for truth, an importance of their memory, and insisting that the reader pay attention and always remember.
