Veracruz

The state of Veracruz is very famous because of its beaches, Carnaval, and some other celebration that they feature with music, dances, and parades.

For me unlike many tourists it wasn’t just to see the attractions but mainly more about seeing my family and learning more about my culture. I am from Veracruz, Mexico, I don’t remember anything about Veracruz, Mexico, sadly because I moved to United States at a young age. Travelling and staying a few weeks in Mexico made me realize how much of my culture I am unware of. I experience the way it feels like to live in Mexico surrounded

Joelissa Pishko 4-28-15 The History of Chihuahua’s In my paper I am going to be talking about the history of the Chihuahua dog breed and the different types of Chihuahua’s. The Chihuahua was named after the state of Chihuahua in Mexico. This is where the Chihuahua is said to originate from. The state of Chihuahua isn’t far from the United States. In the states the border Mexico, which are Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona is where the Chihuahua first became popular in the United States

Depending on who you ask; the Xoloitzcuintli (pronounced “sho-low-itz-queent-li”) is either the ugliest or cutest breed of dog in the world. Also known as the “Mexican Hairless” or “Xolos” for short, they are considered a national treasure in Mexico and have developed cult status due to their unique look and history. Ceramic effigies of Xolos and their remains have been found in the tombs of several ancient civilizations dating as far back as 3,000 years ago- making them one of the oldest known dog

When I first started my research about Olmec heads, I knew nothing about it. It was actually suggested that I do this topic so I decided to give it a try. However, as I continued my research I learned so much about Olmec heads and their unique and interesting history. Including the fact that Olmec heads serve as proof that Africans traveled to America prior to Christopher Columbus’s arrival. Olmec heads are stone representations of human heads sculpted from large basalt boulders. The figures were

Julia’s character development and transformation in Danzon by Maria Novaro The movie Danzon by Maria Novaro may seem like a typical “woman seeking man” type of plot, but in actuality the film presents a change in the traditional gender roles. Danzon deviates from the traditional gender roles ever present in Mexican melodramas. Julia is a common phone operator living in Mexico City that only shares her time with her daughter, her job, and danzon. She meets with Carmelo, her dance partner, every Wednesday

This is a movie where all the main characters are women. It is about strong women who should, based on other films, develop in a typically "feminine" problematic environment, but is instead, viewed from the perspective of women themselves.

“Fourteen Mexicanos died in the biggest, single instance of “die off” in border history” (PPT, “PEOPLE”). During 2001, a group of illegal immigrants from Mexico attempted to cross the United States-Mexico border with insufficient provisions. People named them for the nearest border station-Wellton, the Wellton 26. Of those who attempted the trip, only 12 narrowly escaped with their lives. People named the fourteen people who died as the Yuma 14. Every week, people die from exposure while trying
