Also personally, as a Black, 2nd generation Los Angeles native, there's been Huge gaps in my (public school) education regarding not only Black-American history but also that of my family's Mexican-American friends & neighbors throughout the 20th century.

      Obviously the book explores important events of the history of Mexico focusing specifically on how it is intertwined with U.S. Imperialistic policies during the (19th & 20th) centuries. We're a nation of Immigrants, with each group having its own unique story. Aside from the hundreds of years of Atrocities suffered by our Native Americans, the histories & experiences of (Non-white) Immigrants has been particularly Brutal & Ugly. This definitely includes the histories of Asian & Pacific Islander Americans. At THIS moment Republican led Legislatures across the U.S. are banning books & fighting to keep any discussion of: Slavery, Race, or the history of blatantly discriminatory Laws from being covered in any Public classroom. Supposedly, one of the big "Concerns" is that students will learn to hate America, and that White students in particular, will be "Uncomfortable." 🇺🇸😳

      Patrick, my mom would have said, can you read? God gave you two good feet, can you walk? The library is free and so are the books and there are librarians there to help you find whatever you want to learn. Take your 2 good feet and walk to a library and sit on a chair and read. Education is also free. All you have to do is absorb it from books.
      Everything I can do (from sky diving to swimming to quilting and fishing, etc) i learned from books. Everything I don't know when I come across it, I go find a book (or many) and learn about it. Anyone can do this.
      If you can't read, learn, and no matter how poor you are, you will have the world in your hands. Much better than sitting around blaming others.

      We were taught it was the responsibility of all ppl in the US, black white or foreign born to make the world a better place. If you hide behind your history you cannot progress and cannot make the world a better place.
      You lack ambition. And you lack knowledge. All groups of ppls were mistreated at some time in history. Note the 5000 non Jews put to death in camps in WW2 Europe. Many ppl dont know that white ppl were stuffed in ovens and had their ashes blown in the winds. Mainly bc it is not useful for white ppl to play the victim card. They are expected to bind their wounds, put a smile on their faces, pull themselves up by the bootstraps, and get on w life. And, if you can make your tragedy count for something then it is a kudo to you. Whining will get you noticed but you lose points for it. That's what is happening now. Ppl who never did anything to anyone are being made to feel, not "uncomfortable" but unfairly trashed even though white ppl fought for minorities even being hurt for it by their own race sometimes. White ppl often came from other countries to fight discrimination in America, as during the civil rights days. They fought for the rights of others AT THE RISK OF THEIR LIVES. Me included. And, after many decades have yet to hear one person of color say thanks for amending what your ancestors did, we appreciate it.

    Not saying it was the only time in history but the concept of policing began on the plantation starting off as patrollers going back to the middle 1700s, maybe 1754. And if you think about it the FBI really became famous for the Osage murders in Oklahoma. So no one is saying the border fight wasn't racist, but remember before the US expanded west their ways were already enforced in the east and South.

      Furthermore, the US State Department has many of the Central American countries fully intimidated against going against US objectives in the region. If they defy the US they will suffer the consequences that Cuba and Venezuela have been forced to endure. The case surrounding both cases here is extremely disturbing. When you look at Cuba they have been isolated by the US for 60 years. Unfortunately, President Obama's plan to bring them back to normalcy was completely undermined by Donald Trump.
      As far as Venezuela goes, the US has coveted access to their oil fields for decades and because the Venezuelans refuse that's a big problem for them. If the US wasn't so greedy maybe they would be able to purchase crude oil from them and drive down the price with a huge new supply available. The American government has been a rogue actor in this region for over 100 years. They continue to undermine the region. So to your point I say it's easier said then done.

    One of the reasons are Mexico its de facto a Mestizo majority population. The term "mestizo" originally was reserved to European (mainly Spanish, or Portuguese mixed with Amerindians) today is currently more uncertain, and is applied to people who share European and Amerindian or African ancestry, whatever the proportions, attributing different meanings depending on the local culture. So there's hardly a voice for Mulattos, (European And African) I ignore if in Brazil, or Peru have a different views on the issue since they have more a Mulatto population. On the old days during the Spanish Empire there was a whole classifications of castes.
    Hierarchy of the Caste System in New Spain (Now Mexico)
    Spanish. Peninsulares (Spanish born in Spain) ...
    Castizos (3/4 Spanish, 1/4 Indian)
    Moriscos (3/4 Spanish, 1/4 black)
    Mestizos (1/2 Spanish, 1/2 Indian)
    Mulattos (1/2 Spanish, 1/2 African)
    Cholos (1/4 Spanish, 3/4 Indian)
    Chino (1/4 Indian, 2/4 Indian, 1/4 African)
    Indians.
    Now please, understand today, most people in Mexico, do not even know that, meanwhile prejudice, and racism are not such a big issue as in the US, but yet exist between certain social minority upper class circles, where skin color may be important to them.

      You've not seen videos of the celebrations in Puebla? In Mexico it is a thing but not on the same scale as Independence Day. In the U.S., at least initially, it was more of a rallying and point of pride for the Chicano Movement. If your intent is to discount and disparage that movement, keep pushing this position.

    I was a high school and adult Spanish teacher. Before that I was a bilingual multicultural teacher. I taught Mexican native Spanish speakers from Mexico and bilingual Mexican American children. At Cal State Los Angeles, California University I was a Spanish major student. In order to get my bilingual teacher certificate I had to pass a test that was separate from my Spanish degree so I took a course on how to pass that test with the Chicano Studies department. After passing the bilingual teacher certificate test I continued to take classes with the Chicano Studies department. We had teachers from Mexico who only spoke Spanish and teacher who were Mexican American. I learned a lot about all the professor is talking about. Some of the books we read were Un wanted Mexican Americans during the Great Depression where they shipped Mexicans and Mexican Americans back to Mexico, Factories in the Field the story of Mexicans and other minority farm workers, North from Mexico...

    Something that is only known in Mexico is that Mexico during the early 20th century looked to Japan the way we now look to China. Mexico had good relations with Japan and wished to further ties with them in order to break the economic encirclement of U.S. neoliberalism which had taken Cuba and Central America (specifically the Panama canal), thus Mexico looked to Japan to keep the Pacific ocean open.
