I know it was also very difficult for my parents to be apart and my dad suffered deeply but he was sacrificing to give us a better future. In the summer of 2007, when

[Tension arose between the United States and Mexico when the United States decided to annex Texas, but the two countries couldn’t come to an agreement about where the border was. When sixteen American soldiers were patrolling along the north of the Rio Grande River, Mexicans shot every one of them dead, thus making the United States declare war on Mexico.] The U.S. was not justified in going to war with Mexico.*One reason is that the shooting of the U.S. troops occurred on disputed territory, so Mexico believed that the United States was invading their land.* [Doc C is an informative article about Mexico’s viewpoint of the war, written by Jesus Velasco-Marquez in 2006.] Doc C states,

Before I came to Oaxaca, I had no idea what to expect. I knew very little about Mexico besides the typical stereotypes and some vague ideas about immigration, drug cartels, and Aztec pyramids. So my stay here in Oaxaca has most definitely been an eye-opening experience. Not only has Expediciones Sierra Norte allowed me to gain some much-needed experience in the field that I hope to work in some day, but I have also learned a lot about community structures and lifestyles that are alternative to the individualist, capitalist model that predominates in western industrialized society. More than anything, I’ve learned that Mexico is not a homogenous culture but an amalgamation of opposite ideas: old and new, tradition and modernity, indigenous

Mexico is bordered by the United States on the north, the Pacific Ocean on the west, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea on the east, and Guatemala and Belize on the south. It is characterized by an extraordinary diversity in topography and climate and is crossed by two major mountain chains, the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental. The high central plateau between these two mountain ranges historically funneled most of the human population toward the center of this region.

Interviewer: Today, I am interviewing Gloria Anzaldua on her book, Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza. Gloria’s book is inspired by her memories of living on the U.S.-Mexico border as a Mexican-American. The book combines Gloria’s own writing along with works from other creative minds to express her ideas on the U.S.-Mexico border and how that border affects the lives of Mexican-Americans. I will specifically question her on the ways she thinks the border shapes the cultural development of the people living around it. Let’s begin.

Life in Mexico has been seen as a rough time for friends and families. The places that people live have a strong influence in how they strive or even survive.
