Women wearing colorful skirts and flowery hats also march in the parade to represent women who traveled with the army. This is followed by a reenactment of the battle that took place. There is smoke, shouting, and mock sword battles concluding with a Mexican victory. There are also traditional dances, games, traditional foods, mariachi music, and colorful decorations” (Borade, 2012, para. 3). There is a variety of foods during this celebration such as, “lamb barbacoa that has been smoked underground in banana leaves or carnitas topped with queso fresco, pickled onions and homemade salsa verde wrapped in a warm homemade corn tortilla that has been ever so lightly heated on a comal” (Esposito, 2013, para. 4).
Many people consider the famous Mole Poblano (from Puebla), which contains ingredients such as turkey and chocolate to represent the pinnacle of the Mexican cooking tradition. “While Mole Poblano is considered to be the national dish, it is by no means the only mole.” “Mole can be anything from dark and thick to soup-like and bright green, with red, yellow and black moles each claiming aficionados in different regions.” Oaxaca is celebrated for its seven classic moles. “You would find a healthy mix of various chiles, onions, tomatoes or tomatillos; spices like cinnamon, cloves, and/or allspice; herbs such as epazote, hoja santa, and avocado leaves; seeds like pumpkin or sesame; plus garlic, vanilla, the occasional plantain or raisin.”
According to the article about the Cinco de Mayo on May the 5th, I learned that not only that this day is not the Mexican independence day but its real independence day is on the 16th of September. In addition, I learned that they had two government groups in 1858 where they both fought hard for a period of time, however, the liberal won and took control of Mexico with its new president named Juárez. This whole article interested me because I was able to understand the hardship and how united they are in the example where the author talked about how they won the war with France without preparing for the war. although France did come back to claim the lands. France returned back to Mexico in next day and won over Mexico.
Every time I visited Mexico, my grandmother was always in the kitchen with my dad’s four sisters preparing something delicious. As a young girl, I would pull up a chair to reach the counter and join the girls. Each one had a different duty and my favorite one was making the salsa. My little hands could barely hold the Piedra, but my grandmother was right by my side helping me. Her go-to chilies to use are serrano and habaneros after she toasted them and started to grind them with the molcajete she had everyone in the room coughing their longs out.
Montejano argued that the mexican were shaped to be a minority group by the development of socially constructed racial difference between them and higher races in the United States, and depreciating them from job security in higher paying jobs, which is tied to Glenn’s argument of that Mexicans did not came to the United states as a Minority group. Montejano argument signifies how the mexican got from being different from one another in their society by social hierarchy to being all considered as minority in the United States despite their old social class. American were separated by hypothetical barriers from mexicans that made them believe that they were the dominate race over Mexican . For example, Mrs. millar, an american

Las Madres de Plaza de Mayo: Direct contribution to the protection of human rights? During Argentina’s military dictatorship between 1976 and 1983, the Argentine human rights movement emerged. This movement responded to cruel human rights abuses by the government during the military junta: the abduction, torture, and disappearance of tens of thousands of citizens (Brysk, 1). Starting in 1975, when Isabel Martínez Perón had already been established as the new President of the country after her husband died in 1974, people first started disappearing. Most of them were common laborers in their thirties, although some were children or even senior citizens, teachers, journalists, priests and many lawyers (Navarro 1989:245).
Mexicans complain about the ignorance of the gringos, they (the Americans) the vast majority believe that cinco de Mayo is Mexico 's independence day; the people in general congratulates paisanos Benito Juárez, asks a Crown with "lime" and says bonachonamente:-Feeliz C 'inco di Maaaahio! Senior American politicians and Mexican Masonic Lodges also celebrate year after year this day, but their reasons are less innocent. The Mexican people believes that a battle occurred in 146 years ago, on May 5, 1862, hundreds of indigenous zacapoaxtlas commanded by General Ignacio Zaragoza defeated the invasive and imperial troops from France who came to invade Mexico ostensibly to collect a debt from you. This is the official version and all Mexican shouts it and celebrate it as if it had happened yesterday and as if some his grandfather would have been defender of the homeland.
During the cold war, Latin America was a battle ground of ideals. After the Cuban revolution, in many countries, some left leaning groups started to embrace the idea that the only way to change the government was by arming themselves and fight. In Argentina, two particular groups that started as political organizations to confront the military government, “montoneros” and “ERP”(Ejercito Revolucionario del Pueblo” ) were responsible for attacking military institutions and training camps, kidnapping, and bombing foreign interests. The return to democracy did not stop the violence. A society desperate for peace did claim for the return of the military rule that would restore order and security.

This semester in modern has been by far my favorite. When we started this semester with Limón technique and you said we were going to be tested on it after a few classes I actually got nervous. I remembered back to my first semester here at Coker and having Limón technique for the first time. I felt at the end of the semester I learned a lot about this technique but I felt that I had a lot of room to still investigate with this unfamiliar technique. I felt what helped me bring this technique back in to my body was talking as a class about the important aspects of Limón technique.
