	Teaching Chicano Literature
		For me, "Chicano" and "Mexican American" are interchangeable, although some scholars would argue, not without justification, that the terms are distinct, the former connoting a certain degree of cultural awareness and political activism about which the latter is relatively neutral.
		As a distinctive body of writing, Chicano literature is relatively young, having taken shape in the generation or so after the conclusion of the Mexican War in 1848.
		A Mexican ballad form related to the Spanish romance, the corrido (from the Spanish verb "to run") served a function similar to that of the blues in African American culture.

	Incorporating Mexican American History and Culture into the Social Studies Classroom
		Anaya (1992) refers to this situation as a "censorship of neglect" and argues that in spite of the fact that Mexican Americans (Chicanos) constitute the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States, their history and literature are still virtually unknown and seldom taught in American classrooms.
		One effort to improve educational attainment among Mexican Americans is to replace the outdated school curriculum that is universalist and monolithic in its view of the history of the United States with a curriculum that incorporates, in positive ways, all the voices of our country.
		Integrating Mexican American history and culture into the social studies classroom is a worthy and important goal for all schools--especially those with large populations of Mexican American students.

	Occasional Paper No. 8
		Literature written prior to this date by the Spanish speaking inhabitants of the Southwest must properly belong to the Mexican period, and thus to Mexican literature" (1971: xiv).
		The literature written before 1848 by Mexicans in the Southwest was given an appropriate name by Ray Padilla, a critic associated with the group at the University of California, Berkeley, that in 1967 began to publish the pioneering periodical El Grito.
		In a subsequent article, not published until 1985 but written earlier, I argued that the literature of the Mexican people living in the northern provinces, that is, north of the border set in 1848 by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, is somewhat different from that of central Mexico.
