Aztlán is the mystical place of origin of the Mexica people. It is beyond a mere physical location. Aztlán has become a metaphoric, geographic, historical and spiritual home to millions of Indigenous people of North America.Aztlán was in fact mystical and not mythical as portrayed by the established mainstream teachings. Historians and investigators were always looking for Aztlán in Mesoamerica. Aztlán remained elusive primarily due to lack of scientific cross-reference study of the Mexica codex, artifacts and sacred ruins from Mexico with the lower Colorado River Basin intaglios, geoglyphs, petroglyphs, pictographs, mountains images, equinoxes, solstices, local Native songs language and folklore.
The past decades have borne witness to the United Farm Workers' (UFW) tenacious hold on the country's imagination. Since 2008, the UFW has lent its rallying cry to a presidential campaign and been the subject of no less than nine books, two documentaries, and one motion picture. Yet the full story of the women, men, and children who powered this social movement has not yet been told. Based on more than 200 hours of original oral history interviews conducted with Coachella Valley residents who participated in the UFW and Chicana/o movements, as well as previously unused oral history collections of Filipino farm workers, bracero workers, and UFW volunteers throughout the United States, this st...

Most of the work is based on the sacred images that are in the surrounding mountains which provide a majestic view seen from our home located in the ancient Barrio de Acacitli, today's Barrio de El Cuchillo.The Xicano MOvement has motivated the foundation of this ...
This book historically reconstructs the conservative and moderate liberals’ views on governance, morality, and education within the context of La Regeneración (1878-1903) in Colombian Panama. de la Guardia Wald explores the way political theories and ideologies, especially conservatism and positivism, shaped late nineteenth-century Panamanian pedagogues’ conceptualizations of proper education for the sake of social regeneration. By demonstrating that Isthmian political and pedagogical debates went beyond the preoccupation for the realisation of classic liberalism and exploitation of Panama’s geographical views, this book challenges the perspective that Panamanian identity was a fabrication of the United States. Instead, this study reveals that the combination of positivist and conservative understandings of morality, reason, and good science defined governmental policies intended to recuperate and enhance civic values and nationalism, leading the way to progress and modernity.
