Culinary Palettes: The Visuality of Food in Postrevolutionary Mexican Art
El hambre de los otros: Ciencia y políticas alimentarias en Latinoamérica, siglos XX y XXI
According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization's Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2021, “an estimated 59.7 million people in Latin America and the Caribbean were undernourished” in 2020, “the highest figure in the last 20 years.” Forty-one percent of Latin Americans (267 million people) are food insecure, and while the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated hunger, the trend was already on the upswing before it: “Bet…

The Crusade Against Hunger and the Persistence of Poverty
Additional informationNotes on contributorsEnrique C. OchoaEnrique C. Ochoa is Professor of History and Latin American Studies at California State University, Los Angeles. His publications include Feeding Mexico: The Political Uses of Food Since 1910 (2000), and Latina/o Los Angeles: Migrations, Communities, and Political Activism (co-editor, 2005)
Political Histories of Food
Although policies are in place to eradicate hunger, basic access to food remains a formidable problem worldwide. Scholars and policy analysts disagree sharply on the extent of hunger and malnutrition as well as their causes and solutions. Recent evidence suggests that foodways offer an important means of creating alternative and more egalitarian systems of food production and distribution. This article reviews the assumptions and ideologies under…
Teaching and Learning Guide for: Framing Latina/o Immigration, Education, and Activism
Authors’ introduction Although Latinas/os have a long history in the United States and represent a growing percentage of the population, they remain largely invisible or stereotyped in popular images and discourses. Ahistoric, fragmented, and individual‐level perspectives often frame Latina/o migration, education, and activism and thus negatively influence public perceptions and policy. Fortunately, over the past 30 years, scholars in disciplines…
Corridors of Migration: The Odyssey of Mexican Laborers, 1600-1933
With Corridors of Migration, Rodolfo Acuña’s prodigious career as a historian comes full circle. Acuña is widely known for his work in the development of Chicano studies and his numerous books on Chicano history. Less known is the fact that Acuña is one of a handful of pioneering Chicano historians trained as a historian of Mexico (others include Ramón Ruiz and Juan Gómez-Quiñonez). The current work under review is based on years of deep research…

Framing Latina/o Immigration, Education, and Activism
Although Latinas/os have a long history in the USA and represent a growing percentage of the population, they remain largely invisible or stereotyped in dominant images and discourses. Such representations are often ahistorical, and they camouflage the effects of US power and inequality. However, the spring 2006 immigrant rights demonstrations disturbed dominant conceptions. The demonstrators called attention to the contradictory US practices tha…

Education for Social Transformation: Chicana/o and Latin American Studies and Community Struggles
The classroom is an inherently political arena. It may be either a place that reproduces dominant thought and prevailing hierarchies or an area of liberatory praxis where power and exclusionary ideologies can be challenged (Freire, 1970). Radical educators have long acknowledged that liberatory education involves interactive classes in which the learning process is negotiated, one learns by doing, and there is an emphasis on relating personal liv…

Reappraising State Intervention and Social Policy in Mexico: The Case of Milk in the Distrito Federal during the Twentieth Century
This essay moves beyond the sweeping generalizations about government intervention in the economy to examine the complex factors that have led to such policies. By examining the case of milk in the Federal District during a period of historic transformation, the essay demonstrates how urban pressures, competing demands, and the relatively easy solution of importing powdered milk during periods of crisis led government officials to use the new tec…
