Why Mexicans Think & Behave the Way They Do!
A Cultural-Inside Guide for Businessmen & Travelers: Mexico's traditional values and morals were forged in a caldron of aggressive religious intolerance, corruption, racism, male chauvinism, and an elitist political system that connived with the Church to keep ordinary people ignorant and powerless, and deny them the most basic human rights. But the reality of Mexico has always been obscured behind a variety of masks-of piety, pride, courage, gaiety, indifference and stoicism. In this provocative and insightful book internationally known author Boye Lafayette De Mente goes behind the masks that have long obscured Mexico to reveal the cultural influences that created the character and personality of Mexicans, and provides guidelines for dealing with them.
Mexican Americans and the Environment
Mexican Americans have traditionally had a strong land ethic, believing that humans must respect la tierra because it is the source of la vida. As modern market forces exploit the earth, communities struggle to control their own ecological futures, and several studies have recorded that Mexican Americans are more impacted by environmental injustices than are other national-origin groups. In our countryside, agricultural workers are poisoned by pesticides, while farmers have lost ancestral lands to expropriation.

Mexicans in Wisconsin
From agricultural and factory workers to renowned writers and musicians, the Mexican immigrants who have made their homes in Wisconsin over the past century have become a significant and diverse part of this state’s cultural and economic history. Coming from a variety of educational and professional backgrounds, the earliest Mexican immigrants traveled north in search of better economic opportunities and relief from the violence and economic turmoil of the Mexican Revolution. They found work in tanneries and foundries, and on beet farms where they replaced earlier European immigrant workers who had moved on to family farms. As Mexican immigration has grown to the present day, these familie...
Mexico and the Mexicans
Excerpt from Mexico and the Mexicans: Or Notes of Travel in the Winter and Spring Among the most vivid and cherished memories of my childhood are the descriptions which my grandfather, after his return from his mission as Minister to Mexico, was accustomed to give of that land of mystery and romance. What especially dazzled my imagination was the picture he drew of that world-renowned landmark of the navigator, the snow-capped peak of Orizaba, which, as the war-steamer that bore him to his destination neared the Mexican coast, stood out like a gigantic spectre against the clear blue sky.
