First Blog Posting


What is your reaction to the introduction of El Plan de Santa Barbara and El Plan Espiritual de Aztlán? Had you been a teen-ager or youth in the years of 1968-1970, do you think you would have been swept up within the nationalist rhetoric?  At what point would you have "pushed back" against the patriarchal, homophobic, nationalist sentiment?  Do you think misogyny tore apart the Movement or at least impeded its progress?

One paragraph response.



What are your reactions to the documentaries Requiem 29, "Fighting for Our Schools" from the Chicano! series, and the Bless Me, Ultima film?  Are the documentaries shown in junior high or high schools to your knowledge?  Did you view these documentaries in any other Chicana/o Studies courses?  Compared to the text, evaluate the film, Bless Me, Ultima.  Is it a faithful representation of the text?  What stood out from the film, whether a critique or praise?
