Discrimination in Historic Immigration and Naturalization
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page analysis of historic immigration and naturalization laws which were designed to ensure a white majority in the United States. The author of this paper contends that the shortcomings in our current laws and policies are, in reality, just a continuation of the same bias and discrimination which have been in place for generations. The 1790 immigration law was the first of the legal biases which were put in place to ensure a continued white majority in this country. This law was reaffirmed throughout our history with such cases as Ozawa vs. U.S. Supreme Court and Thind vs. U.S, Supreme Court which reaffirmed that only select races and cultures were allowed to become U.S, citizens.

Dual Identity: African and American in the Early Twentieth Century
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages. A critical analysis of the African American
plight in the early twentieth century shows us of the duality of
consciousness in which these people strove to make as one. While
trying to identify as Americans on the one hand, on the other
hand they encountered the haunting fact that to be black is to be
denied full access to American identity. The American ideologies
did not apply to these dual-identitied people and as such one
might find that this has oftentimes proven to be the case even
today. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Elements of Satire and Irony in Luis Valdez’ “Los Vendidos”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing elements of satire and irony in “Los Vendidos” by Luis Valdez. The play “Los Vendidos” by Luis Valdez uses a great many elements of satire and irony to show the stereotypes of Mexican Americans which have been created and are expected within American society. The play includes a Mexican American, Ms. Jimenez, who has denied her heritage and pretends she is ignorant to the Chicano ways while at the same time is unable to escape her own culture. In addition to the development of satire to expose Ms. Jimenez, Valdez also employs satire and irony to show how the government needs the support of the Mexican Americans but does not return that support and how the Mexican Americans themselves are able to play stereotypes for Americans in an attempt to obtain what they want.
