“Mexicans Americans: Leadership, Ideology & Identity 1930-1960” by Mario Garcia Weekend reading for my history seminar. Really enjoying doing all this reading for this class. Anthropology engages in history but not with this kind of depth. I took a lot of history in high school and seemingly got a much more in-depth education in U.S. history than most of the people I know, but there is still so much complexity and conflict present in every part of it to learn about. Idk, I just love learning/knowing U.S. history. Ryan & I have talked about whether or not it matters to know U.S. history because so much of it is rife with colonialism/conquest/exploitation/oppression/etc. I think that this makes it even more necessary to know as much about it as you can. How can you combat something if you don’t know what you’re getting into and where its rooted?
