Ethnocentrism/Mexican-American Experience
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that examines 2 texts and their historical perspective on Mexican American experience. Ethnocentrism is defined as the tendency to evaluate all other groups of people according to the values, standards and cultural traditions of one's own group. In other words, ethnocentrism connotes the idea that the way a particular society acts, believes, worships, and lives is the one "right" way and all others are perceived as "pagan," "primitive," or simply "wrong." Racism and bigotry find their roots in ethnocentrism and while racism is acknowledged in contemporary Western society as wrong, the roots of ethnocentrism are much harder to eradicate. This is shown by the scholarship of Rodolfo Acuna and Miguel Leon-Portillo and their accounts of classical indigenous and early mesoamerican history. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Eurocentricism As An Obstacle To Learning True Latin-American History
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page look at issues concerning the Pre-Columbian Americas. The writer stresses that fact that civilizations covered the continent long before the arrival of the Europeans and never considered themselves to be "of the Americas." The journey of Columbus was only a "landmark" event from a Eurocentric perspective. Of particular importance in this essay is that we cannot possibly attempt to understand the diversified culture of Pre-Colombians, Native Indians, and so forth-- because most records were destroyed by the arriving Europeans--who re-wrote history from their own perspective. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
