History of American-Mexicans: The American-Mexican War

Great movie, The Machete!

Some intriguing ideas about a revolution in Machete? I can only see a great plot! It kind of urges migrants to start killing la migra, vigilantes and senators. You know, like O'reilly said it: "abortionist murderer, who cannot be permitted to exist" about a gynecologist, thus instigating people to kill the doctor. Which really happened. As a historian, I do not condone this kind of ideas. I have already crossed The WALL. But this movie finally makes a point! If all the work in our restaurants, hotels, and hospitals is being done by mexican or hungarian immigrants; why is it that we do not let them in the country? Once they are already here, as the humiliated hungarian house guard says it in the movie!

The girls did a great job too, reminding me of the revolutionaries in the latin tradition (1910)! Most awesome love story! And the Senator (Robert deNiro) fried on his own electrical fence! What an irony!

Best movie ever: seems to have beeen produced by Edward Olmos, but it is actually Directed by Robert Rodriguez.

Reproductive Issues: Women in Global Perspective

Reproductive Issues in Easter Europe and Latin America, Cuba, Africa

Women in Global Perspective
By Dr.Olga M. Lazin, Visiting Professor, UCLA

In this multidisciplinary course we compare and contrast how
different social and cultural systems have affected (a) gender
ideologies and gender practices, and (b) women's social, cultural,
economic, and political roles.  The emphasis is on "Third World"
particularly "non-Western" societies, where the majority of the
world's female population lives.
We analyze Women's movements in Easter Europe, South Africa, articles about women, and women's issues in EE, Africa, and Latin America.

This course draws on recent anthropological, sociological,
historical, political science and women's studies research to
understand factors related to gender inequality and women's
empowerment in  a global context to examine how the situation of women
has changed over time in different world situations.

                By analyzing different country specific feminist movements, we
are going to understand gender dynamics in contexts outside the
United States and Western Europe in order to see the interconnection
among societies (in examining the impact of colonialism and
neocolonialism, for example) in shaping gender ideologies and
practices.

        We use all these perspectives to understand, think, speak,
and write critically about origins and development of gender
ideologies and practices across historical periods, societies, and
cultures.
By identifying important problems those women in different parts of
the contemporary world face and solutions offered by different
authors, we seek to understand the complexities of the issues that
women face around the globe, especially in the reproductive choices field.

Women in Global Perspective

In this multidisciplinary course we are going to compare and contrast different social and cultural systems. We are going to analyze how these systems have affected gender ideologies and gender practices and how women’s social, cultural, economic, and political roles have changed over time.  The emphasis is on pre-industrial and contemporary “Third World” particularly in pre-industrial and “non-Western” societies, where the majority of the world’s female population lives. This course draws on recent anthropological, sociological, historical, political science and women’s studies research to understand factors related to gender inequality and women’s empowerment a global context.

By analyzing different country specific feminist movements, we are going to understand gender dynamics in contexts outside the United States and Western Europe in order to see the interconnection among societies (in examining the impact of colonialism and neocolonialism, for example) in shaping gender ideologies and practices.

We are using all these perspectives to understand, think, speak, and write critically about origins and development of gender ideologies and practices across historical periods, societies, and cultures.
By identifying important problems those women in different parts of the contemporary world face and solutions offered by different authors, we are going to indeepen the complexities of the issues that women face across the globe.
