Four hundred years ago, Spanish explorers enslaved the Aztec, an advanced native society living in Mexico. Together, Spanish and Aztec became farmers for many years afterward until the Mexican-American War resulted in large amounts of Mexican land being claimed by the United States. Approximately 80 percent of the Mexicans became U.S. citizens. By the turn of the century, the railroad and mining industries relied heavily on Mexican-American labor. The United States continues to be shaped by the values, customs and hard work of Mexican Americans. Their continued success and acceptance further blurs the line between what is called "Mexican" and what is considered "American." Part of the Multicultural Peoples of North America Video Series, a compelling collection that celebrates the heritage of different cultural groups in North America.

 


Booklist Editor's Choice/Best of 1994.

"...recommended." - Video Librarian

"Technically excellent, these videos are smoothly edited to combine a nice mix of historical stills and film footage...This excellent series will be of general interest, as well as an effective teaching tool for multicultural studies, contemporary issues, and American history." - School Library Journal

"Gr. 4-10. Rich in attractively presented archival visuals, informatively structured by maps and voice-over, and personalized by family interviews, this enlightening, 15-title series introduces various ethnic groups in the U.S. While each group's distinctive history and cultural traditions are heralded, the programs also reveal the conditions of their arrival (as in the Chinese laborers), their economic fortunes, their quest for assimilation as well as expression of their heritage (a Greek Orthodox festival)...these are excellent resources for multicultural education." - Booklist
