SUMMARY Mexican Spanish and Chicano Spanish: Fundamental Problems and Proposals The first sections of this article discuss the historical circumstances that intervened in the emergence of Mexican Spanish as an independent variety of Mexican Spanish; it also describes the geographic and social dialects of contemporary Mexican Spanish in the light of the studies carried out or directed by J. M. Lope Blanch. The second part compares the phonological and morphosyntactic phenomena that characterize Mexican and Chicano or Mexican American Spanish, the variety spoken in the southwestern part of the United States. Although the language data presented herein evidence countless similarities between the two varieties, the author assumes that the varíability of Mexican Spanish is greater than that of Chicano Spanish inasmuch as the demographic explosion, the intense internal migration, and the growth of the mass media in Mexico have caused speakers of diverse geographic and social backgrounds to be in close contact. Finally, since Chicano Spanish is very similar to and less varíable than Mexican Spanish, the author proposes a possible language planning based on a Chicano variety with salient Mexican features. RESUMO Meksika hispana lingvo kaj cikana hispana: Fundamentaj problemoj kaj proponoj. La unuaj sekcioj de tiu ci artikolo traktas la historiajn cirkonstancojn, kiuj intervenis en la ekapero de la meksika hispana kiel sendependa varíanto de la duoninsula hispana lingvo. Ĝi ankaǔ priskribas la geografiajn kaj sociajn dialektojn de la nuntempa mek-sika hispana en la kunteksto de la studoj faritaj aǔ direktitaj de J. M. Lope Blanch. La dua parto komparas la fonologiajn kaj morfosintaksajn fenomenojn, kiuj karak-terizas meksikan kaj ĉikanan aǔ meksik-amerikan hispanan lingvon, do tiun varíanton parolatan en la sudokcidenta parto de Usono. Kvankam la lingvaj informoj donataj ĉi tie montras sennombrajn similecojn inter la du varíanto], la aǔtoro supozas, ke la va-riemo de la meksik-hispana estas pli granda ol tiu de la ĉikan-hispana pro tio, ke la demografia eksplodo, la intensa interna migrado kaj la kresko de la amaskomunikiloj en Meksiko metis en proksiman kontakton parolantojn el diversaj fonoj geografiaj kaj sociaj. Fine, ĉar la ĉikan-hispana estas tre simila al la meksik-hispana, kaj malpli va-riema, la aǔtoro proponas eblan lingvoplanan procedon bazitan sur ĉikana varíanto kun evidentaj meksikaj elementoj.

AbstractThis sociolinguistic study explores linguistic attitudes of Salvadorans and Hondurans living in the United States towards the use of voseo, a distinguishing feature of Central American Spanish. Using sociolinguistic interviews and ethnographic observations, the Central American experience in Oregon and Washington is examined regarding linguistic attitudes toward voseo and tuteo and how these influence Salvadoran and Honduran identity in U.S. communities that are primarily Mexican-American. Initial findings point to participants developing ethnolinguistic masks and an expanded use of tú as a strategic approach to integration into the established Mexican-American community, while at the same time maintaining a sense of Central American identity.

Background. Nearly all of the research on sex differences in mass media utilization has been based on samples from the United States and a few other Western countries. Aim. The present study examines sex differences in mass media utilization in four Asian countries (Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, and Singapore). Methods. College students self-reported the frequency with which they accessed the following five mass media outlets: television dramas, televised news and documentaries, music, newspapers and magazines, and the Internet. Results. Two significant sex differences were found when participants from the four countries were considered as a whole: Women watched television dramas more than did men; and in Japan, female students listened to music more than did their male counterparts. Limitations. A wider array of mass media outlets could have been explored. Conclusions. Findings were largely consistent with results from studies conducted elsewhere in the world, particularly regarding sex differences in television drama viewing. A neurohormonal evolutionary explanation is offered for the basic findings.

This research further examines the video entitled “what is the truth about post-factual politics?” about the case in the United States related to Trump and in the UK related to Brexit. The phenomenon of Post truth/post factual also occurs in Indonesia as seen in the political struggle experienced by Ahok in the governor election (DKI Jakarta). Through Michel Foucault's approach to post truth with assertive logic, the mass media is constructed for the interested parties and ignores the real reality. The conclusion of this study indicates that new media was able to spread various discourses ranging from influencing the way of thoughts, behavior of society to the ideology adopted by a society.Keywords: Post factual, post truth, new media

The concluding chapter explains how race had served defenders of slavery by providing them with an excuse to hold men and women in bondage. For their inhumane treatment of Africans during the Age of Enlightenment to be justified, their humanity needed to be ideologically stripped away—scientific racism served that purpose. Racist theories also kept other groups in subaltern positions. Mexicans with mestizo, mulatto, and Indian genealogies experienced racialization in the United States. Simply put, Americans, proud of their liberal political heritage and their democratic institutions, needed to see oppressed groups as somehow sub-human in order to reconcile their political beliefs with the nation’s less than egalitarian realities. It is for this reason that the politics of redemption practiced by Mexican immigrant and Mexican American activists merits attention.

Abstract (Spanish/English)Forjando el Aztecanismo: Nacionalismo Musical Mexicano del Siglo XX en el siglo XXI en Los ÁngelesHoy en día, un creciente número de músicos mexico-americanos en los Estados Unidos tocan instrumentos indígenas mesoamericanos y réplicas arqueológicas, lo que se conoce como “Música Azteca.” En este artículo, doy a conocer cómo los músicos contemporáneos de Los Ángeles, California, recurren a los legados de la investigación musical nacionalista mexicana e integran modelos antropológicos y arqueológicos aplicados. Al combinar el trabajo de campo etnográfico con el análisis histórico, sugiero que los marcos musicales y culturales que alguna vez sirvieron para unir al México pos-revolucionario han adquirido una nuevo significado para contrarrestar la desaparición del legado indígena mexicano en los Estados Unidos.Today a growing number of Mexican-American musicians in the United States perform on Indigenous Mesoamerican instruments and archaeological replicas in what is widely referred to as “Aztec music.” In this article, I explore how contemporary musicians in Los Angeles, California, draw on legacies of Mexican nationalist music research and integrate applied anthropological and archeological models. Pairing ethnographic fieldwork with historical analysis, I suggest that musical and cultural frameworks that once served to unite post-revolutionary Mexico have gained new significance in countering Mexican Indigenous erasure in the United States.

The T-3 ice island case involved two trials in the United States of a Mexican-American, Mario Escamilla, for allegedly causing the death of a Negro coworker, Bennie Lightsey, on an ice island then at lat 84°45.8'N, long 106°24.4'W, on the High Seas, about 240 km north of Ellesmere Island on 16 July 1970. A federal judge in Virginia allowed Escamilla's first trail to proceed without definitively deciding on objections to jurisdiction, for he expected a ruling on this point on appeal. Issues raised by that trial are covered elsewhere (Pharand, 1971; Wilkes, 1972).

Cysticercosis is widely endemic in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. The incidence of cysticercosis has been increasing in the United States during the last decade.1 Although an infection still seen primarily in immigrants, it has been reported in increasing numbers in individuals who have close contact with persons who have resided in endemic areas.2 Only 6 cases of cysticercosis in children born in the United States have been reported; in 3 of these cases, the parents were from or had traveled to an endemic area and Taenia ova were recovered from the stools of the parent(s).1,3-6 Because of the prolonged incubation period, cases are rarely seen in infants and young children.4
