Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,7, University of Freiburg, course: Mexicans in the US, 29 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: In this term paper, negative stereotypes of Mexicans and Chicanos in the U.S. media will be examined. These stereotypes include violent, criminal and vile behavior while wearing a wide-brimmed sombrero with a bottle of tequila in hand. Why do they exist? What are the reasons for this? Berg argues that one prominent source for the dominant stereotype of Chicanos is the media, primarily the globally dominant U.S. media, and specifically - though not exclusively - Hollywood movies. According to the psychologist Yueh-Ting Lee, "stereotypes are probabilistic belief [which we] use to categorize people, objects, and events and we have to have them in order to deal with all the information in a world with which we are often uncertain as well as unfamiliar." A dangerous character is ascribed to stereotypes when we consider Bower's statement that stereotyping can be seen as a "breeding soil for errant generalizations about others that easily [merge] into racism, sexism, and other forms of bigotry." Since a complete presentation of the existing stereotypes would stretch the point, I will focus on the most popular stereotypes ascribed to Chicanos. Furthermore, the origin of these negative stereotypes towards this minority will be analysed. In order to explore this, I will place emphasis on stereotypes in American news, movies and in advertisement. Last but not least, I will talk about multicultural picture books and stereotypes therein. In the first part of this term paper, I will talk about blurred coverage in American news. Syque states that in creating stereotypes "we often mistakenly assume things are correlated when they are not; when we make this mistake, we will find ways to 'prove' it or simply believe and assert the correlation

This book was released on 2007-07-01 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Heidelberg, language: English, abstract: One might think that the immigration topic is “a well-squeezed orange” , as the late economic historian Charles Kindleberger used to put it, referring to subjects where he doubted that there was much new to say. This might be true, if the focus lies on mere information. But as soon as the individual perspective is in the center of attention, there will always be something new to add, everyone’s perspective on a certain topic being unique. In the following analysis I want to examine the negative stereotypes of Mexican and Chicano males portrayed in American media. A definition that puts emphasis on the dangerous character of negative stereotypes is the one by Bruce Bower who considers them as “a breeding ground for errant generalizations about others that easily congeal into racism, sexism, and other forms of bigotry.” Since a complete and thorough depiction of all existing stereotypes would go too far, I want to concentrate on the most prevalent stereotypical characteristics attributed to the male part of the minority group, which are vile, violent and sly. Moreover, I want to figure out where these negative sentiments toward the minority group originate from.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2 (B), University of Tubingen (English Seminar), course: HS Literature: Latino Images in U.S. Latino Film, language: English, abstract: I. Introduction In the following written analysis, I am going to deal with the topic “The film „Tortilla Soup“ in context of Mexican Life in America and Type and Stereotype of Chicanos and Latinos in Film“. In the main body, I am going to show II.1 Mexico with the points II.1.1 Mexican history, II.1.2 Mexican American Migration and II.1.3 Mexican Life in America. The next point will deal with the film “Tortilla Soup”, II.2 About the film. I will divide this point into II.2.1 Plot, II.2.2 Major characters and actors and II.2.3 The picture of food in connection with family in “Tortilla Soup”. After that, I will talk about II.3.1 Latinos and chicanos. This point will be divided into II.3.1 Type and Stereotype: Chicano Images in Film, II.3.2 What it means to be Latino in 2000 and II.3.4 Contemporary Latino films – the end of stereotypes?. The last point will be III. Conclusion. I think that the historical embedding of a film is extremely important to gain a better understanding of a film. I wanted to focus on Mexico first with its history, migration and the life of Mexicans in America. Then I wanted to talk about the film itself with the plot, main characters and the picture of food in connection with family in the film. And in the end, I wanted to deal with the topic of Chicano Images in Film , Latinos in the year 2000 and contemporary Latino films with a possible ending of stereotypes.

Book excerpt: "This enlightening collection of original writings is one of the first attempts by Chicanos to answer the question: 'Where do we come from and where are we going?' Thirteen Chicano scholars draw upon their personal experiences and expertise to paint a vivid, colorful portrait of what it means to be a Chicano. ' We have come a long way,' says the editor of this volume, ' from the time when the Mexicano silently accepted the stereotype drawn of him by the outsider.' In these twelve compositions, says Trejo, 'our purpose is not to talk to ourselves, but to open a dialogue among all concerned people.' The personal reactions on Chicano women's struggles, political experiences, bicultural education, and history provide a wealth of information for laymen as well as scholars. In addition, the book provides the most complete recorded definition of the Chicano Movement, what is has accomplished, and its goals for the future" -- Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tension between Anglos and Tejanos has existed in the Lone Star State since the earliest settlements. Such antagonism has produced friction between the two peoples, and whites have expressed their hostility toward Mexican Americans unabashedly and at times violently. This seminal work in the historical literature of race relations in Texas examines the attitudes of whites toward Mexicans in nineteenth-century Texas. For some, it will be disturbing reading. But its unpleasant revelations are based on extensive and thoughtful research into Texas' past. The result is important reading not merely for historians but for all who are concerned with the history of ethnic relations in our state. They Called Them Greasers argues forcefully that many who have written about Texas's past—including such luminaries as Walter Prescott Webb, Eugene C. Barker, and Rupert N. Richardson—have exhibited, in fact and interpretation, both deficiencies of research and detectable bias when their work has dealt with Anglo-Mexican relations. De León asserts that these historians overlooled an austere Anglo moral code which saw the morality of Tejanos as "defective" and that they described without censure a society that permitted traditional violence to continue because that violence allowed Anglos to keep ethnic minorities "in their place." De León's approach is psychohistorical. Many Anglos in nineteenth-century Texas saw Tejanos as lazy, lewd, un-American, subhuman. In De León's view, these attitudes were the product of a conviction that dark-skinned people were racially and culturally inferior, of a desire to see in others qualities that Anglos preferred not to see in themselves, and of a need to associate Mexicans with disorder so as to justify their continued subjugation.
