Imperialism

Throughout the class we learned of the many issues, cultures, phenomenon, and innovations brought to the mainland Americas and around the world from Mexico. Much of the class focuses on the struggles and inequalities that was brought onto Chican/o upon the arrival of the conquistadors. Some of the incentives that came from colonialism is the influence of music upon the island and other Latino nations. As Say-Mean-Matter would point out by making the connotation that Latin-America generally is an open wound, constantly bleeding. We all factor in racism, slavery, socio-economic class divisions, displacements, colonialism, imperialism, identity, etc. that the Mexican skirmishes with and has had to in the course of its colonial rule. I would also like to factor in the use of popular culture as a unifying force in Latinx and how it brings people together.
