“Of Cantonese Women, the Hill, and the Center for People of All Races” El Centro de la Raza’s Food Banks becomes a site of immigrant place making of primarily Latino and Chinese descended Cantonese people. Unpacking the social interactions that are occurring at the food bank speak to the pathways of community that begin, shift, and reify the participation in gastro-politics and symbolic commensality, as a means of immigrant place making.

Many colonists came to America in order to escape the constraints of the Church of England, but continued to establish colonies that were built on Biblical principles.

The Harvest highlights an extremely important subject that I find so disheartening and devastating- the loss of childhood. With this unstable lifestyle, young field workers lose their opportunity to be children, go to school, dream of becoming lawyers or astronauts as highlighted by the one-on-one interviews with the videographer. During the course of the film, Zulema’s mother points out that she sees the life Zulema is living working in these fields and it is no different from the childhood that

during the 1900’s. This brought about the publication of several works that challenged the government’s policies. As Upton Sinclair addresses in The Jungle, industry workers were refused the basic human rights that the government vowed to protect. Harvest Gypsies, written by John Steinbeck just 30 years later, brought rural farmers’ grievances into the picture after their land was destroyed during the Dust Bowl. The rhetoric used in these works criticizes the exploitative working environment in

Perceval kissed Joan on the cheek before he left their chambers. She was in such a fine mood, as were most people of Camelot these days. The annual Harvest Festival, to be held on the vast castle training grounds in just a few days, coincided with Joan’s birthday. Further, King Arthur had just announced that he and Queen Guinevere would attend the festival in its entirety, a special occurrence. While Arthur often opened the castle grounds for various festivals and events, he and Guinevere rarely

In this week’s materials we get to see the Neo-Colonization and U.S. Intervention in Central America presented in a film called “Harvest of Empire” by the author Juan Gonzalez. In this film they talk about the political situation that central America experienced when the U.S. government got involved and disturbed all these countries, including El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Mexico. I will be focusing on Guatemala and the issues that they dealt with during the many government changes

Juan Gonzalez uses Chapter 12: “Speak Spanish, You’re in America!: El Huracán over Language and Culture” of his novel Harvest of Empire: A History of Latinos in America to introduce a truly polarizing argument that has plagued the Latino community in the United States of America. Gonzalez is quick to point out that English is the common language in this country, though he is quicker to note that it should not necessarily be so. This author is so incredibly biased in this chapter that it is nearly

Juan Gonzalez discusses the historical relationship between Puerto Rico and the U.S. in Harvest of an Empire, interestingly enough the author’s family were a part of the surge of Puerto Ricans emigrated to New York in 1946. With the signing of the Treaty of Paris the Spanish-American War came to a close with Puerto Rico now under the control of the U.S. along with Cuba, Guam, and the Philippians. In 1900 the Foraker Act established Puerto Rico as a U.S. territory, but it had less autonomy than when

Harvest depicts a black teenager, Angel who is socially discriminated because of her race. In the story, Evans represents unequal treatment people often get based on race. This clearly gives the idea of ongoing racism in our society. Evans tries to make readers aware that such discrimination could be the root to even more problems.
