A Comparative Perspective on Mexicans and Cubans in the US
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing conditions in the US during the mid-1800s and then jumping 100 years forward to examine immigration patterns since 1959. Demographers predicted long ago that Hispanics collectively would comprise the largest minority within the US by the turn of the century, and such has proven to be true. What they failed to predict is the dichotomy with which these two groups are viewed. The Anglos immigrated to areas already occupied by both Native Americans and Mexicans, and treated each equally poorly. There was little notice of immigrants from Cuba settling in the Tampa area in the 19th century, and they were able to more closely preserve their traditional culture. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

A Different View of US History
[ send me this paper ]

The writer argues that to a large degree, the authors achieved their goal, as this text offers a survey of American history that stresses the contributions of minorities and also the perspective of minorities toward the events that led to the founding of the United States.
