Documentary on Latino Family in NYC
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that analyzes Nuyorican Dreams, a 1999 documentary directed by Laurie Collyer, which focuses on the family of Marta Torres, an immigrant from Puerto Rico who came to New York in search of the American Dream and a better life for herself and her family, but instead found an American "nightmare" (Bell-Russel, 2000). The term "Nuyorican," according to Torres refers to someone who is of Puerto Rican extraction but who knows nothing of their Puerto Rican heritage or culture. As such, the documentary pictures this population as a people adrift --stigmatized within the US by white mainstream culture, yet not able to fall back on a sense of belonging to Puerto Rican culture because these cultural values and perspectives have not been transmitted successfully to the next generation due to environmental influences. This situation has huge implications from a health perspective, and the documentary explores the drug-related problems of Torres' grown children. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Dona Marina: Heroine, Traitor, or Representative of Culture
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper which discusses the woman who was known as Dona Marina. Dona Marina was Cortez' lover and interpreter. According to many she was either a heroine or a traitor, while others feel she was merely a reflection of her culture in her actions and attitudes. The paper utilizes "Conquest of New Spain" by Bernal Diaz and "Expanding Ethnicity in Sixteenth-Century Anahuac: Ideologies of Ethnicity and Gender in the Nation-Building Process" by Thomas Ward in further examination of her involvement as it pertained to her position as a slave and a Christian, which were forces that greatly influenced how she was seen in regards to her position as heroine or representative of her culture. No additional sources cited.

Drug Use and Treatment of Hispanic Immigrants
[ send me this paper ]
A 24 page paper discussing the influence of culture on addiction treatment. This paper includes a 5-page section on clinical implications not contained in the shorter paper of the same name. Much of the research into drug use among Hispanics of the past has identified Hispanics only by cultural identification, without giving a clear picture of those cultural matters that can influence whether a Mexican American chooses to seek help in breaking an addiction. There are several aspects of the Mexican American culture that prevent Mexican Americans from moving along the same path of addiction resolution that individuals of other ethnic groups navigate in similar journeys. This paper discusses some of these points, including acculturization and the tradition of relying on family groups in times of crisis. Counselors need to realize that Hispanics who enter treatment likely already have used these social structures without success. Includes an abstract and an outline. Bibliography lists 19 sources.
