Download or read book Mexican Americans and the Law written by Reynaldo Anaya Valencia and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The experience of Mexican Americans in the United States has been marked by oppression at the hands of the legal system—but it has also benefited from successful appeals to the same system. Mexican Americans and the Law illustrates how Mexican Americans have played crucial roles in mounting legal challenges regarding issues that directly affect their political, educational, and socioeconomic status. Each chapter highlights historical contexts, relevant laws, and policy concerns for a specific issue and features abridged versions of significant state and federal cases involving Mexican Americans. Beginning with People v. Zammora (1940), the trial that was a precursor to the Zoot Suit Riots in Los Angeles during World War II, the authors lead students through some of the most important and precedent-setting cases in American law: - Educational equality: from segregation concerns in Méndez v. Westminster (1946) to unequal funding in San Antonio Independent School District vs. Rodríguez (1973) - Gender issues: reproductive rights in Madrigal v. Quilligan (1981), workplace discrimination in EEOC v. Hacienda Hotel (1989), sexual violence in Aguirre-Cervantes v. INS (2001) - Language rights: Ýñiguez v. Arizonans for Official English (1995), García v. Gloor (1980), Serna v. Portales Municipal Schools (1974) - Immigration-: search and seizure questions in U.S. v. Brignoni-Ponce (1975) and U.S. v. Martínez-Fuerte (1976); public benefits issues in Plyler v. Doe (1982) and League of United Latin American Citizens v. Wilson (1997) - Voting rights: redistricting in White v. Regester (1973) and Bush v. Vera (1996) - Affirmative action: Hopwood v. State of Texas (1996) and Coalition for Economic Equity v. Wilson (1997) - Criminal justice issues: equal protection in Hernández v. Texas (1954); jury service in Hernández v. New York (1991); self incrimination in Miranda v. Arizona (1966); access to legal counsel in Escobedo v. Illinois (1964) With coverage as timely as the 2003 Supreme Court decision on affirmative action, Mexican Americans and the Law offers invaluable insight into legal issues that have impacted Mexican Americans, other Latinos, other racial minorities, and all Americans. Discussion questions, suggested readings, and Internet sources help students better comprehend the intricacies of law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the landmark Hernandez v. Texas (1954), the U.S. Supreme Court held for the first time that Mexican Americans constitute a protected class under the 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause. The Legal Construction of a Latino Identity explores the many and complex ways in which Latinos impact, and have been impacted by, the American legal system, and how this interaction has been paralleled by an evolving Latino legal identity. Whether considered through the prism of race/ethnicity, language rights, or immigrant status, the legal identity of Latinos in the United States has evolved and developed significantly in the years following Hernandez. Thus, the book includes chapters on educational equality, employment, gender issues, language rights, immigration, voting rights, affirmative action, and criminal justice issues. Each chapter highlights historical contexts, relevant laws, policy concerns, and relevant scholarly materials for a specific issue and features significant state and federal cases involving Latinos. The Legal Construction of a Latino Identity illustrates how Latinos have played crucial roles in mounting legal challenges regarding issues that directly affect or have affected their socioeconomic, political, and educational status.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At least 200,000 people have died in Mexico’s so-called drug war, and the worst suffering has been in Ciudad Juárez, across the border from El Paso, Texas. How did it get so bad? After three decades studying that question, Howard Campbell doesn’t believe there is any one answer. Misguided policies, corruption, criminality, and the borderland economy are all factors. But none of these reasons explain how violence in downtown Juárez has become heartbreakingly “normal.” A rigorous yet moving account, Downtown Juárez is informed by the sex workers, addicts, hustlers, bar owners, human smugglers, migrants, and down-and-out workers struggling to survive in an underworld where horrifying abuses have come to seem like the natural way of things. Even as Juárez’s elite northeast section thrives on the profits of multinational corporations, and law-abiding citizens across the city mobilize against crime and official malfeasance, downtown’s cantinas, barrios, and brothels are tyrannized by misery. Campbell’s is a chilling perspective, suggesting that, over time, violent acts feed off each other, losing their connection to any specific cause. Downtown Juárez documents this banality of evil—and confronts it—with the stories of those most affected.

Book excerpt: A strange episode that is at once a central part of American history and a tragic tale of human ambition and cultural misunderstanding. In an ill-starred undertaking, Napoleon III attempted to install Archduke Maximilian of Austria as the Emperor of Mexico. The move pitted liberals against conservatives, and the New World against the Old--and ended with Maximilian's execution, the insanity of his wife, Charlotte, and the emergence of the United States as a world power. "Jasper Ridley has written a riveting account of an episode which is exciting throughout and tragic at the end; it is also essential reading to understand the history of the United States today."--Antonia Fraser.

Book excerpt: "No criminal in American society is more despised than the man who has sex with children. This is his story. He offends us, but it's time to listen. Hardly a week goes by without news of yet another respected adult - Scoutmaster, teacher, priest, or pop singer - accused of child molesting. Into this uproar steps Scout's Honor, which systematically examines the history of sexual abuse in America's most revered youth group and tells us what we should know about men whose desires seem too bizarre to understand." "Through a computer analysis of nearly 2000 previously secret files on child-abusing Scout leaders; through interviews with molesters, victims, investigators, and top Scout officials; and by digging through court records and 80-year-old Scout documents, author Patrick Boyle traces sexual abuse from Scouting's roots to today's headlines."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book The Daughters of Juarez written by Teresa Rodriguez and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-03-27 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the fact that Juarez is a Mexican border city just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas, most Americans are unaware that for more than twelve years this city has been the center of an epidemic of horrific crimes against women and girls, consisting of kidnappings, rape, mutilation, and murder, with most of the victims conforming to a specific profile: young, slender, and poor, fueling the premise that the murders are not random. Indeed, there has been much speculation that the killer or killers are American citizens. While some leading members of the American media have reported on the situation, prompting the U.S. government to send in top criminal profilers from the FBI, little real information about this international atrocity has emerged. According to Amnesty International, as of 2006 more than 400 bodies have been recovered, with hundreds still missing. As for who is behind the murders themselves, the answer remains unknown, although many have argued that the killings have become a sort of blood sport, due to the lawlessness of the city itself. Among the theories being considered are illegal trafficking in human organs, ritualistic satanic sacrifices, copycat killers, and a conspiracy between members of the powerful Juárez drug cartel and some corrupt Mexican officials who have turned a blind eye to the felonies, all the while lining their pockets with money drenched in blood. Despite numerous arrests over the last ten years, the murders continue to occur, with the killers growing bolder, dumping bodies in the city itself rather than on the outskirts of town, as was initially the case, indicating a possible growing and most alarming alliance of silence and cover-up by Mexican politicians. The Daughters of Juárez promises to be the first eye-opening, authoritative nonfiction work of its kind to examine the brutal killings and draw attention to these atrocities on the border. The end result will shock readers and become required reading on the subject for years to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A deeply reported, razor smart, up-close account of the Great Drug War . . . Absolutely courageous in its fairness and search for answers.” —William Booth, Washington Post Bureau Chief for Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean The city of Juárez is ground zero for the drug war that is raging across Mexico and has claimed close to 60,000 lives since 2007. Almost a quarter of the federal forces that former President Felipe Calderón deployed in the war were sent to Juárez, and nearly twenty percent of the country’s drug-related executions have taken place in the city, a city that can be as unforgiving as the hardest places on earth. It is here that the Mexican government came to turn the tide. Whatever happens in Juárez will have lasting repercussions for both Mexico and the United States. Ricardo Ainslie went to Juárez to try to understand what was taking place behind the headlines of cartel executions and other acts of horrific brutality. In The Fight to Save Juárez, he takes us into the heart of Mexico’s bloodiest city through the lives of four people who experienced the drug war from very different perspectives—Mayor José Reyes Ferriz, a mid-level cartel player’s mistress, a human rights activist, and a photojournalist. Ainslie also interviewed top Mexican government strategists, including members of Calderón’s security cabinet, as well as individuals within US law enforcement. The dual perspective of life on the ground in the drug war and the “big picture” views of officials who are responsible for the war’s strategy, creates a powerful, intimate portrait of an embattled city, its people, and the efforts to rescue Juárez from the abyss.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in August 1982, Operation Juárez emerged from Lyndon LaRouche’s intense work to forge a policy alliance among the leaders of the United States, Mexico, and India, to replace the bankrupt international financial system with a just New World Economic Order, based on principles derived from Alexander Hamilton’s American System of Economics. As the author explains in his foreword: “We have named this report ‘Operation Juárez,’ in memory of the proper alliance between the American Whigs of the United States and the Mexican liberals from whose ranks Juárez emerged as a leading figure” – ie, the Lincoln-Juárez alliance. Immediately prior to writing Operation Juárez, LaRouche, who had been in dialogue with President Reagan’s closest advisers even prior to his inauguration in early 1981, had just travelled to New Delhi where he met with Prime Minister Gandhi on April 23, 1982, and he then visited Mexico where he met with President López Portillo on May 27, 1982. As Mexico and the entire developing sector were being subjected to withering economic warfare by a desperately bankrupt City of London and Wall Street, LaRouche presented to both heads of state a battle plan to win the war and create a New World Economic Order. After meeting with President López Portillo in May, LaRouche was invited back to Mexico in early July 1982, where he met with top advisers to the Mexican President, who asked him to put his policy proposals in writing for further study and consideration. LaRouche did that within a matter of weeks, completing Operation Juárez on August 10, 1982. Shortly thereafter, President López Portillo implemented many of LaRouche’s recommendations; but with Mexico's prospective allies undermined via British Imperial operations, Mexico was not strong enough on its own to withstand the British Imperial response. Nonetheless, developing nations studied closely Mr. LaRouche’s strategy and you will recognize, as you read this book, the congruence between ongoing actions on the world stage today and the principles outlined in this book. The congruence is not an accident!

Download or read book U.S. Latinos and Criminal Injustice written by Lupe S. Salinas and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinos in the United States encompass a broad range of racial, socioeconomic, and sociopolitical identities. Originating from the Caribbean, Spain, Central and South America, and Mexico, they have unique justice concerns. The ethnic group includes U.S. citizens, authorized resident aliens, and undocumented aliens, a group that has been a constant partner in the Latino legal landscape for over a century. This book addresses the development and rapid growth of the Latino population in the United States and how race-based discrimination, hate crimes, and other prejudicial attitudes, some of which have been codified via public policy, have grown in response. Salinas explores the degrading practice of racial profiling, an approach used by both federal and state law enforcement agents; the abuse in immigration enforcement; and the use of deadly force against immigrants. The author also discusses the barriers Latinos encounter as they wend their way through the court system. While all minorities face the barrier of racially based jury strikes, bilingual Latinos deal with additional concerns, since limited-English-proficient defendants depend on interpreters to understand the trial process. As a nation rich in ethnic and racial backgrounds, the United States, Salinas argues, should better strive to serve its principles of justice.
