    In “Hijas De Juan: Daughters Betrayed”, Josie Mendez-Negrete begins with her life in Mexico. Born in Mexico, in the state of Zacatecas, Mendez-Negrete recalls a very joyous childhood growing up in the midst of Tobasco. Tobasco through her eyes was a vibrant town filled with her friends and extended family. “Huele de noche, the sweet and spicy scent of the “smells-at-night ivy, lingered like morning dew in the bright yellow and red colors of the sunrise” (pg. 5). Her father, though, had dreams of acquiring wealth in "el norte," He worked sun-up to sun-down in the fields of south Texas. Returning home to Mexico with money to “support” his family, he spent his nights out at bars and womanizing. Not knowing the effects his actions had on his daughter’s and his wife’s lives. “In that placid space, the madman’s actions were out of place, capturing a vision of insanity. The only ones that seemed to notice were the caged birds whose song warned of doom” (pg. 5).…

    "WHY ARE ALL THE BLACK KIDS SITTING TOGETHER IN THE CAFETERIA?" (January 15, 2003, Basic Books), Beverly Daniel Tatum, a renowned authority on the psychology of racism, asserts that we do not know how to talk about our racial differences: Whites are afraid of using the wrong words and being perceived as "racist," while parents of color are afraid of exposing their children to painful racial realities too soon. Using real-life examples and the latest research, Tatum presents strong evidence that straight talk about our racial identities-whatever they may be-is essential if we are serious about facilitating communication across racial and ethnic divides. We have waited far too long to begin our conversations about race. This remarkable book,…

    His fourth months old son, Luke attended a preschool located in San Francisco's Fillmore/Western Addition neighborhood where it had a great racial diversity. Since then, his son never once mentioned the color of his peers’ skin and then never brought the discussion of racism to him ever. Until, Martin Luther King Jr. Day at school, two months before his fifth birthday when he began to point out “That guy comes from Africa. And she comes from Africa, too!" It was embarrassing how loudly he did this. "People with brown skin are from Africa," he'd repeat. He had not been taught the names for races—he had not heard the term "black" and he called us "people with pinkish-whitish skin." The strengths of this evidence is that it provides a good personal testimony on how the author’s experience on the topic by addressing his son’s views of racism. However, this personal testimony is only based on one individual’s experience with this concept. Therefore it couldn’t fully count as a viable reason of how…

    Matriculating from a child into a young lady, the color of my skin often times influenced how I felt about myself and who I could be as an individual in society. As I sat in the front of the class at a predominately white school or walked down the hallways, I anticipated the moment that I would yet again be called another racial name- sometimes from those who looked similar to me but did not understand the essence of their doings. Reaching my final year in middle school, I began to define myself in a way that encompassed the names I was called. Instead of describing myself as the intellect I was or by my astounding level of accomplishments, I defined myself as someone who must be unfortunate to be African-American. Witnessing very few African-American women being presented in a positive manner in the news, learning my entire history and heritage in a single textbook chapter, and hearing demeaning words merely because of my dark skin tone inhibited me from seeing what roles I was capable of having in society. I often times asked…

    I’ve been privileged enough to grow up color blind, and so has the younger generation in my family. That’s what happens when your great-great grandmother is white on your mother’s side, and great grandfather is Cherokee Indian on your father’s side. It has been said that if you have one percent of black blood in you, you were considered black. Due to the generational gap my father’s birth certificate says Colored, my mothers says Negro, and mine says African American. When I was asked about color there was no black or white. There was brown, tan, pink, etc, however children are quick to pick up racial biases from family members, schoolmates, friends and television.…
