Note: At the end of each chapter, there will be questions. Students will need the book for these exercises. Since this is their first chapter and some students may have not purchased the book yet, I will recreate some of those questions here.
Students may have to visit some websites to get a true understanding for these questions. They should free to do so. By now students have already tackled questions No. 1 and No. 4 of Chapter 1 in previous assignments. Here are the remaining questions for this chapter, questions 2 and 3. Students should keep their comments brief. They are allowed to comment on other students' posting if you ask them to post on the blog. Students should be as scholarly as possible and refrain from name-calling or stereotypical comments.
Here are the two questions:
(2) The term Chicano was introduced in this chapter. It was also cited as a description for genres or styles of literature, art and film. Go through this book or visit websites on the Internet of the different areas discussed and cite three examples of Chicano art, Chicano film and Chicano literature. Is this part of American mainstream culture?
(3) Do you agree with Grace Flores-Hughes and her analysis and explanation as to why the term Hispanic was chosen by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to define and sectionalize a group of Americans in the 1980 U.S. Census and in every document or statistical report issued by the U.S. government?
