ABSTRACTThis resource guide provides the librarian with a
selected bibliography of available materials which help to dispelstereotyping and inaccuracy in Mexican American literature and socialstudies materials. According to the author, although bad minorityliterature and materials are abundant,. good materials are beingproduced. Teachers and librarians need to become amaze of the MexicanAmerican materials which reflect the history, heritage,contributions, and pride of the Mexican American people. The firstsection deals with a statement of the current availability of goodand bad resource materials on the Mexican American. The secondsection focuses on bibliographic listings of available materials forK-12 students, in both literature and social studies. A list ofdescriptors used in the ERIC system and subject headings ofbibliographic indexing are also included. Section 3 discusses thecataloging problems related to Mexican American materials. Anannotated list of 16mm films concludes the bibliographic sources. Thelea.: two sections give suggestions for bulletin board displays andarts and crafts. (Author/JR)

THE MEXICAN AMELICAN IN LIBRARY MATERIALS
1637 COPY AVAILABLE by Anne HylandM.A.C.O. Resource Librarian
"Today a new voice is being heard in America, a new force is making
itself felt.. After over a century of subjt6ation in an Anglo-Saxon dom-
ioaied society, the country's six million Mexican Americans are asserting
fneir identity."
A stereotype is a fixed image of a group of people, based on generalized
and nninform( impressions for example, "all Frenchmen are great lovers."
Stereotypes can be positive. The visual images of "American","apple
pie", and "mother" are positive. On the other hand, negative stereotyping
turns people into comic or ridiculous mockeries.
Stereotypes become dangerous when they depersonalize to such an extent
that we assign specific .haracteristics to specific ethnic groups. Americans
who are not white, Anglo-::axon, and protestant are constantly labeled with
derogatory terms. The terms "spic","wop", "nigger", "kraut", "mick", "polak",
"dago", and "greaser" are examples of such terms.
The frito bandito is an example of the stereotyping of the Mexican and
Mexican American in the form of a character who is comic to Anglos. He is
depicted as a thief. He is recognized as a Mexican because he wears a som-
brero, has a big mustache and speaks with a pseudo-Mexican accent in English.
Many mental stereotypes have been supported in materials that often find
their way into libraries. These materials do more than damage the self image
of Mexican Americans. Matertals which patronize, generalize, and contain gross
inaccuracies continue to support a whole series of undesirable images of Mexican
Americans. This kind of innappropriate literature can be found in all levels
and types Of print and non-print materials.

The title of the hook, "That Bad Carlos", for 4th to bth graders,
is unfortunate, and for anyone who doesn't read the entire hook, the image
ot a had, Spanish-speaking boy may he reinforced.
"Angelo the Naughty One", for primary grade children, continues to
[,petuate the big sombreio image of the Mexican people . . . and why is
i..,!,eto naughty? . .because he refuses ro take a bath. This entire story
's built around the stereotype of dirLy. Mexicans.
"A Hero by_Mistake", for 4th to 6.h graders, perpetuates stereotypes.
Ewen the title reflects the stereotype of a stupid, cowardly man who could
only become a hero by making a mistake. This is inappropriate material.
It is too easy for the reader to generalize the events and not look to the
histlrical background of a people who descended from such great heroes as
Cuauhtamoc, Juarez, Hidalgo, Zapata, and Zaragoza who were NOT heroes by
mistake.
Many writers mean well when they write books about Mexico and Mexican
.14seticans. However, they simply are not aware of the facts an 1, unfortunately,
present a one-sided view of life. These materials commonly hm,e. a patronizing
Lone, generalize events, and contain inaccuracies.
The only p.ctures presented in the book, "The Land and People of Mexico"
for 4th - 8th graders, are of peasant people. Although certainly there are
peasant people in Mexico, as there arc all over the world, the illustrations do
not show the reader a complete or accurate view of life.
The final sentence in the honk is extremely patronizing: "No matter how
industrialized and modern Mexico becomes, it will always maintain its native
Alurn, its music, gay tiest_as, and flowers." It w,lId he more accurate to
underscore progress, change, industry, and a concerned people.

"Our National Heritage" is supposed to be an account of immigrant
c:mtributions to American society. It is intended for 4th to 8th grade
readc,rs, Its discussion of "Espanoles and Hispanos" is couched primarily
in racist terms which pictures the tlispanos as "hordes" of "colorful people"
who "break out readily into song," are for the most part poor migrant workers
Rave come illegally acrGss thi border, but who are "endowed with an
innate courtesy" and possess a "leisurely gait." The stereotypes of singing,
happy, lazy, law breaking, colorful peasants are totally reinforced.
"America", a book for 4th to oth graders, on the settling of the United
States, does not mention the fact that in 1610, a full eleven years before the
pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, what is now Sante Fe, New Mexico was a
setLled, thriving community with a church, an organ inside, and a system of
irrigation.
Because of the recent increase and interest in the Mexican American in
Ame. ican society, many publishers have jumped on the economic band wagon and
published a great quantity of materials to meet the demand. This surge of
materials can be seen primarily in the. areas of juvenile fiction and spills
over into geographical type materials.
Authors and publishers have no real knowledge or awareness of Mexican
American problems and simply give theirmain character a Spanish surname. The
problems presented could happen to anyone. They arc not problems that are
,Ioique to Mexican Americans and do not represent a plausahle Mexican American
experience. "Across the Tracks", for high school students, is an excellent
example. The main character could have been from any ethnic group. Not v
single line in the story would have been changed except the girls' last name.
00006 1/4;
Ilift CM OUSE 4
There are many other materials that are a result of the.publishing surge.
Books originally written in English with illustrations for the Anglo reader
are simply translated into Spanish. While these materials are suitable for a
Spanish language collection, they are not to be interpreted as Mexican American
materials.
A very dangerous by-product of the pubti:lhing effort is what I call "white:
bdvAor" types. In these materials about Mexican Americans, the central character
is not able to succeed or overcome the problem of the story without substantial
help from an Anglo in the story. These works of fiction usually deal with a
Mexican American child. This makes it easier for the adult Anglo to "help out"
and so assure the story a happy ending.
"Viva Chicano", for junior and senior high students, is a good example of
this type. Each time the main character 4.s in the boundaries of the barrio, he
is beset with trouble and frustration, and each time he travels to the Anglo
world his life is clear and ordered. Probably quite unintentionally the author
implies that for the Chicano to succeed he must abdicate his heritage and culture
and take up Anglo ways.
"IlyName is Pablo", for 4th to 6th graders, is another example of "white
savior" fiction. For some reason not explained in the story, Pablo's family is
not a real part of his life style. In instance after instance, the Anblos in the
story bail Pablo out of trouble, jail, and the hospital. It seems that Pablo would
be completely helpless without the Anglos.
Sociological studies are e,other type of literature where stereotypes can be
found. The basic problem with these materials is that the study is usually based
on a small rural poor or poverty class of people and the results are applied gen-
erally to an entire ethnic group. A good example of this is Cecelia S. Heller's
"Mexican American Youth Foriotten Youth at the Crossroads."
00007
Ws,
The following quote accurately describes this book: "In fewer than forty
pages, the author assert::. that Mexican American6 are all virtually alike. They
have lax habits, are undisciplined, have no initiative -- even less ambition.
Their culture breeds crime ant they arc helpless victims of the indulgence of
parents who are a retarding influence. Heller's book is one of the most vicious
1
lo oxistenee today."
Thu novels by Oscar Lewis are another example of using only the poverty
culture in materials. While these works of fiction are good literature and are
widely read, it must be remembered that the author only deals with the poor
group of people and the o rall effect should not be generalized to all Me:dean
Americans, as is often done.
There are Anglo counterparts to this type of literature that deal solely
with the poor clas7.es of people, notably Faulkner, Steinback, and O'Henry; but
they are more than compensated for by a vast quantity of literature that presents
middle and upper class Anglos.
Possibly the greatest problem to be aware of when looking at sociological
:arks is the final outcome. By and large the works dealing with Mexicans and
Mexican Americans tend to assume that the problems and findings discussed are
inherent to the entire group of people, while in sociological works describing
the Anglo, problems are related to specific areas of concern.
The treatment of Mexican Americans in textbooks is notably lacking any type
01 sufficient representation. A 1970 study sums up Mexican Americans in textbooks
this way; "Only two of the 45 books examined offered textual reference to this
group iN the United States . . .unfortunately neither of the presentations does
more than tell of the problems of these people, and they picture the Mexican
2
American primarily as a law violator."

There is a sufficient number of quality library materials dealing with
Mexican Americans, hov'zwer, so that the innappropriate literature previously
cited can be avoide:: and still provide library users with materials to meet
increosing demands.
In the area of education there are works that are accurate, do not pat-
reniec, suggest positive solutions to problems, and create a positive image
or a people that have the ability to live in society.
Jack Forbes in A Handbook for Educators, specifies assets wnich Mexican
Americans bring to the school, suggestions for teachers and administrators,
and examples of supplementary materials available for classroom use. It is a
useful publication wh4ch stresses the positive.
Thomas P. Carter's Mexican Am' deans in School -- A History of Educational
Nelect describes how the Anglo educational system is mono cultural, mono
lingual and does not modify itself to -he needs of a culturally different
group. Techniques for change are discussed, again stressing the positive.
Many biographical materials are honest representations. They relate
the contributions of heroes -- the thoughts and feelings of real people.
A number of good geographically orientated materiels exist. In The First
Book of Mexico, illustrations show old and new from Mexico. The text stresses
icedern Mexico. "Mexico, dominated for so long by foreign governments and foreign
business interests, is now moving toward the future as a truly independent nation."
Many Mexicos for secondary grades is not just a dry listing of facts and
places. It is a well written narrative that convoys history by relating actual accoun
of people's lives.

Carey McWilliams' North from Me.:ico, even with it 1948 copyright is
still one of the best general historical backgrounds of Mexican' Americans in
tiie United States.
Many fiction titles treat Mexican Americans in reLlistic Mexican American
Iteations. In You Can't Make it By Busy_ a high school Chicane sees his father
deserting his Mexican heritage, finds himself in a society he does not understand,
and cannot find a place in which he is suited. The open-ended concluEion does
not hint of a happily ever-after ending. The story is Chicano.
The pictures in Birthday Girl, depict children of many ethnic groups. The
text is in Spanish and can be used in a Spanish language .ollection. But it can
also be used to strengthen the image of the Mexican American.
Bienveinit:a Roberto is a similar book. The pictures are meaningful to
Mexican American children today. In books of this type, children of other ethnic.
groups are exposed to more than Anglo children. Thy story is also an excellent
example of a bilingual text. Spanish and English are printed simultaneously.
The literature of the Mexican American is beginning to appear. Quinto Sol
fuhlications such as "El Grito," a quarterly, Voices, and the first fiction winner,
Tomas Rivira, are of r gh quality and of a scholarly nature. The texts are
entirely in English or Spanish and are often presented in a bilingual format. The
feelings expressed are by Mexican Americans ann are presented for Mexican Americans.
Reflections of the Mexican American experience in the barrio are finding their
,itai into print. These titles represent a type of protest literature. They are
Sf,anish arri English in the vernacular and often intermingle the two throughout the
text. The language and tone reflect the barrio txperiences of the common people.
This is where it is.

The epic poem Yo Soy Joacluin is in a class by itself. Its bilingual format
follows the typical epic poem arrangement, relating the present to the past,
biding to the past wealth of history and "ictorious deeds and contrasting that
with society today.
This statement from Yo So), Joaquin is indictive of the spirit of the people:
"1 um the nisse'i (IL my poupl, and 1 vtusu to he absorbed. I am Joaquin
The odds arc great
But my spirit is strong
My faith unbreakable,
My ' od is pure.
I am Aztec Prince and Christian Christ.
I shall endure, I will endure."
Bad minority literature and materials are abundant. Good minority materials
are being produced. It is hopeu that you will become increasingly aware of dam-
aging materials, and that you will be able to incorporate into your classroom,
Mexican American materials which reflect the history, heritage, contributions, and
pride of the Mexican American people so necessary to the students in your school.

Dear Librarian:
As I read the professional journals, searchingfor recommended materials to purchase for our collection,I noticed a conspicuous lack of Mexican American relatedentries.
Since I spend most of my time searching for onlyMexican American materials, I can imagine the difficultyyou must encounter when your position requires you to
search for many varied and different materials.
I have, therefore, compiled a listing of selected
and recommended Mexican American materials. I have
included an annotation and the price to aid you in your
ordering.
All of these titles are available in our resourcecenter for you to examine before purchase, if you so
desire.
It is my hope that this list will stimulate you tobegin to acquire a collection of Mexican American materialsthat can be effectively utilized in a High School setting.
AH:gwEnc.
Sincerely yours,

CATALOGING PROBLEMS RELATING TO MEXICAN AMERICAN MATERIALS
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SOUTHWEST
1519--Cortez lands in Mexico City for God, Glory and Gold.
1521--Fall of Aztec capitol
1521 to 1600's--Spanish settle affairs in Mexico City--get rotives under control.
From 600's to 1848 (200 years!) begin to settle what is now New Mexico, Texas,
Southern Californic, Colorado and parts of Nevada.
In California set up mission system.
In New Mexico set up town settlements with communal land for grazing and farming.
In Texas set up ranching and utilized irrigation skills acquired in Spain and
Mexico. The whole period of time people were farming, mining, irrigating, set-
tling. Doing extensive mining--this was a primary reason for coming to the new
land. This area was called "Aztlan" (land north) and was geographically cut off
from Mexico City by distance (took u months by wagon to reach Santa. Fe), Indians
(Apache were nomadic and could not be controlled,) terrain (no water, had to keep
supply on hand). All this area was a part of the country of Mexico, and comprised
=ere than half of the land mass of Mexico, was governed by Mexican law etc.,
people living here were Mexican citizens.
MEANWHILE;
1621--pilgrims landed
1621 to 1848--set up towns east of Appalachian mountains and along rivers west
of mountains. Were primarily merchants. Had no mining skills, very little farm-
ing skills originally--learned alot from the native inhabitants of the land.
Westward expansion--"Manifest Destiny"--President Polk--brought two halves of
the country together in the Southwest.

Anglos brought with them deeds, property rights, Anglo claim system. By sheer
number began to force Mexicans out--"bought" the land for back taxes, etc. This
land still belonged to Mexico, who was the rightful taxing body). February 2,
1848--end of the Mexican American War with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
Created the "Mexican American" overnight. The people living in this area had
been living here for 200 years, this was their home. Had been Mexican citizens,
row were American citizens "by default", (The vastness of the area and the dis-
tance of the area from Mexico City, made it, at the time, not practical for Mexico
City to protect).
DEWEY DECIMAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
A. History of countries discussed is that of present day boundaries of that
country.
B. 973--American history number, begins with pilgrims and details all Eastern
seaboard activities--no mention of the development of the Southwest during
this period of time (1600 to 1800's).
C. Only place available now &s to put this information with the history of the
individual states, not possible to treat the region well.
I.
II.
1. Keep 5n mind people who use the library come looking for American history in
the 973's will, at present, only find Anglo history.
2. I suggest we put these 1600 to 1800 materials on the Southwest in the ap-
propriate 973 number according to the time frame indicated.
1. Putting a number on a book is indirect labeling of materials.
2. If a book is about Mexican American Art, put with art books in 700's,
if it is on labor, put with labor in 330's, etc., not with minorities
in 301.
3. Keep in mind people who use the library come looking for Art, not fair
that they should find only Anglo art--all music, art, sports, etc., should
be together.

1. 917.2 is a geography and travel numbernot a history number.
Watch books that come through with this numbermake sure it really is geo-
graphy or travel. (Many of the history books come through with this number,
because there is really no other place to put the material at present).
1. Common subject heading used is Mexicans in the U.S.
A. This is not accurate--this area and these people have been here since 1600- -
ALMOST 400 YEARS--The United States is only now getting ready to celebrate
its 200th birthday.
2. The term Mexican American is perfectly acceptable and can be added to Sears
or Library of Congress headings by following the rules in the preface.
