CATHERINE'S WEBPAGE ABOUT MEXICAN CULTURE In our ethnocentric North American culture we view México as a part of Central America. To the right is a map of mexicos territory before cession. http://people.smu.edu/mcmcmill/GEOGRAPHY3.HTML
Extractions: The Diverse Mexican Spatial and Political Geography A study of Méxicos geography reveals its cultural history and legacy. In our ethnocentric North American culture we view México as a part of Central America. It is not. México is geographically one of three countries that comprise the continent of North America: Canada, the United States of America, and México. It is interesting to think about the fact the Americans that live in the United States call themselves Americans as if our country comprised all of America. We do not have a word that reflects our true spatial identity (Like United Statesans). People in Canada refer to themselves as Canadians, people in México refer to themselves as Mexicans, but here in the U.S. we continue to refer to ourselves as Americans. Clearly, then, as you can now see, there is more than one America. Click here to see Alfredo Jaar's famous animation of A Logo for America. Also of cultural (and political, economic) interest is the history of the United States-México border. Up until the Treaty of Guadelupe-Hidalgo (which signaled the end of the Mexican-American War), the country of México had included the U.S. states of Utah, Nevada, California, and parts of Texas, Wyoming, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico. To the right is a map of Mexicos territory before cession.

Mexico Trek: August 14 Dispatches: Silvia Mexican culture and murals. Excitement and anticipation about our mexico Trek How much do we truly understand about the Mexican culture and its people? http://www.worldtrek.org/odyssey/mexico/81498/81498silvia.html
Extractions: DISPATCH: August 14 Silvia's Log Mexican culture and murals Excitement and anticipation about our Mexico Trek overcame me today as I wandered through the Mission in San Francisco looking at murals with Monica and Shawn. We will discover so much about ourselves and those we will encounter during this adventure! How much do we truly understand about the Mexican culture and its people? I interpreted the murals as portraying messages of identity representing Hispanic life through their bright colors, symbolism, and personal quotes, but just gazing intently at the pictures is not revealing enough for me. I want to have a Mexican explain to me what the picture means to him or her personally, and in that way gain insight into another land and its people's values. There's a story to be told behind each picture, life beyond the still art. For me, this is the heart of the Mexico Trek- being in contact with the Mexicans in their own land, and striving to learn about their Youth and Society as I live and work with homeless youth with the organizatin Casa Alianza. I want to share in the youths' struggles of living in the largest city of the world. Maybe when Monica, Shawn, and I come back to the Mission after the trek, I'll see the murals I gazed at today in a different light, though the youth in Mexico and I in San Francisco will be standing under the same sun. Bienvenidos a la experiencia!!!!! (Welcome to the experience!)

BORDER STUDIES: Texas - Mexico Border In short, USmexico border culture may be said to be the sum product of forces and Within mexico, cities with cultural connections to the border include http://www.humanities-interactive.org/borderstudies/text/essay.htm
Extractions: Essay by Oscar J. Martínez, Ph.D. University of Arizona Unquestionably, the U.S.-Mexico border has an image problem. Many people associate the region with gaudy tourist districts, unsavory bars and nightclubs, tasteless curio shops, cheap liquor stores, "hustlers" of many shades, uncontrolled illegal migration, large-scale smuggling of drugs, ethnic tensions, and general disorder. There is some truth to these uncomplimentary characterizations, of course, but fronterizos (borderlanders) live in an environment that is infinitely more complex than superficial caricatures suggest. ambiente fronterizo, or borderlands milieu. Today the area stands as a prime example of binational interdependence, providing striking evidence of the trend toward closer ties among the world's nations and societies. Transborder interdependence is rooted in the economic interaction that has existed between the United States and Mexico for several generations. In a functional sense, two systems have combined to produce one order that is quite distinct from those of the two parent societies, and a population whose lifestyles differ considerably from what is found in heartland zones. Out of economic necessity, as well as personal desire to venture into "other worlds," border Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and Anglo Americans intermingle at close range, borrowing from and contributing to each other's way of life. That three-way association, ranging from superficial contact to intimate relations, has produced unique patterns which comprise key components of what is commonly referred to as "border culture."
