Day of the Migrants
SEPTEMBER 2016 / ENGLISH/ ESPAÑOL Mexico’s Great Singer And Songwriter Juan Gabriel Dies At Age 66 Day of the Migrants Essay And Artwork by Luis Guerra ARRIBA 9/8/16 pg. 2 Day of the Migrants Essay by Luis Guerra Hasta la Gloria, by Luis Guerra, 1977 • silkscreen • 17.5 x 22.5 in. This article was originally written in 2009, when the Texas Senate declared October 23 the Day of theMigrant. I am glad it is being published today, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1966 United Farmworkers march from the Valley to the Texas State Capitol. As it happens, it was in that same year that Antonio Orendain came to Texas to help with the United Farmworkers’ strike against La Casita Farms. Orendain went on to form the Texas Farmworkers Union, whose members marched to Washington for human rights in 1977. He passed away on April 12, 2016, surrounded by family and friends. ***** The 60s and 70s were an exciting time for Mexican Americans. It was a time when we up for our rights. We united and demanded respect. Brown was beautiful. We were in Aztlan ,our ancestral land. We were Chicanos and proud. We demonstrated against the war and against police brutality. We marched for land rights, student rights, worker rights, and civil rights.Farmworkers formed unions. In 1977, I was asked to do a commemorative poster of the march that the Texas Farmworkers were undertaking from San Juan in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, “the Valley of Tears,” in South Texas, all the way to Washington, D.C. To create the poster, I needed to know them and get a feel for their struggle. So early that summer, I took off to join the marchers, catching up with them in Louisiana, just outside of Lake Charles. I felt honored and humbled to march with them, getting to know these people of the earth, who put food on our tables at a great sacrifice to themselves. Walking with the Texas Farmworkers, if for only a few days, was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Inspired, I came back to Austin and spent the rest of the summer working on poster, a silkscreen print. With help from some of my students (I was teaching at the community college at the time), I was able to finish the edition of 150 in time to get it to the marchers as they were reaching Washington. In my own small way, I felt I had also marched with them all that summer. They had all inspired me, especially the seven that I included in the poster Antonio Orendain, the head of the Texas Farmworkers Union, with his gentle but determined way. Raquel Orendain, his wife, offering strength and courage. Claudio Ramírez, who promised to carry the banner of Our Lady of San Juan every step of the way. Doña María Salas, the curandera, who had a potion for every adversity that presented itself. Julio Coreño, a twospirit man, strong like an elk and always smiling and joking, keeping everyone’s spirits up. Don José Rodríguez, with his quiet, steady presence, always ready to help. And Doña Rit Martínez, always offering her silent, solid strength. And there were many others, each making their own crucial contribution to the struggle. Thirty-two years later (in October of 2009), I was remembering all these people as I drove to San Juan. I had been invited by Antonio to attend a special event honoring the farmworkers. In a resolution passed by Senators Eddie Lucio and Chuy Hinojosa, the Texas Senate had proclaimed October 23rd Day of the Migrants. This proclamation went almost unnoticed throughout the state, but in the Valley and in the town of San Juan, it was a very big event. In the evening of October 22nd at the Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan del Valle, a large crowd of more than a thousand men, women, and children gathered to honor the migrant farmworkers. Poor as they may be, the farmworkers have been the lifeline for San Juan and the entire region, as this is the cradle that the migrants return to and where they spend their hard-earned money. Sen. Lucio was present to honor Antonio Orendain, who led the Texas Farmworkers Union in their historic march from San Juan to Washington. But Orendain, in his wise and compassionate way, would not have any of it without first recognizing and honoring all the other farmworkers who walked twenty miles a day for months on end. He also wanted to recognize the contributions of the many others who had lent their support. Among these were Alan Pogue, for his photographic documentation, and me, for creation of the poster. And of course the countless others, who lent emotional support and also marched some of the way. But most importantly, he wanted to pay tribute to all the farmworkers, and especially the other marchers represented in the poster, all of whom walked every step of the way, had since passed away. In particular, Orendain spoke to honor the memory of Claudio Ramírez, who had been the point man, carrying the banner of Our Lady of San Juan, setting the pace for the entire march, all the way to the White House, although he was even ill and in need of hospitalization through part of the journey. What was most memorable to me about the Day of the Migrants event, was the smaller gathering that took place the night before. It was so heartwarming to be among the farmworkers and their families, laughing and talking of the old times, meeting the descendants of the heroic marchers. All of them people of the Earth, thankful for everything the Creator has bestowed on them. As I returned to Austin, I couldn’t help but think that their work is never done. Conditions for farmworkers in this country have not improved: one step forward, and two steps back. It seems that things must get worse, reach the breaking point, before they can get better. Now it’s up to a new generation of Mexican Americans to pick up the banner and the struggle for human rights. ***** May the memories of César Chávez, Berta Cázares, Antonio Orendain, and countless others continue to inspire the Millennial generation to carry on in the struggle for civil rights, justice, and harmony. ¡Que vivan!

El trío es considerado un ícono dentro de la música pop en español debido al gran éxito de sus canciones y coreografías, además, marcaron las principales tendencias en moda durante su primera década de actividad. El concepto nace de la mano de Mildred Villafañe, creadora del grupo y quien posteriormente fungiría como su representante. Televisa concibe la primera idea en 1984 la cual se trataba de una emisión televisiva dirigida al público joven y que llevaría el nombre Fans. Fans narraría las aventuras de un grupo de adolescentes que harían hasta lo imposible por conseguir los autógrafos de sus artistas favoritos. El programa incluiría un grupo musical de mujeres al ver la necesidad de grupos juveniles en el mercado. En su concepto inicial Mimí, Ivonne y Amparo Serrano serían las integrantes aunque más tarde Mildred decidiría sustituir a eta última por un nuevo valor, Ilse. También cabe añadir que Mildred audicionó a más de mil jovencitas para este proyecto, incluyendo a unas muy jóvenes Alejandra Guzmán y Sasha SokoSokol Disco de vinilo del sencillo “No Controles” 1985 - Tras una inversión considerable por parte de Mildred Villafañe, Ilse, Ivonne y Mimi, graban su primer LP en España bajo la producción de Mariano Pérez y la misma Mildred. Estaba todo listo, la música, sus particulares integrantes, las novedosas coreografías, la ropa y el arte gráfico de su disco incluyendo el tipo de letra del nombre “Flans” pues debería ser algo muy fresco y con un diseño muy casual, siendo de esta forma que el concepto de programa televisivo juvenil de “Fans” (el cual nunca salió al aire) se transformó en un proyecto musical denominado Flans. Se lanza el primer sencillo llamado “Bazar” creación del dueto de compositores mexicanos Carlos Lara y Jesús Monarrez, captando la atención del público quién colocó el tema en los primeros lugares de popularidad de las radiodifusoras en todo el país sonando durante varias semanas, más nadie conocía a sus intérpretes. Por ello, se inició una fuerte campaña publicitaria llamada “Ya viene Flans” en donde aparecían solo las siluetas de Ilse, Ivonne y Mimi en todas las revistas y periódicos del país. Fue hasta el 6 de octubre de 1985, haciendo una breve introducción en el desaparecido programa Siempre en Domingo, su conductor Raúl Velasco realiza el lanzamiento oficial del grupo “Flans” que con su tema Bazar empezaron a ser identificadas por el público y rápidamente se convertirían en todo un modelo a seguir para niñas y jovencitas que querían bailar y vestirse como ellas. Su segundo sencillo “No controles” de la autoría de Ignacio Cano (del grupo Mecano) inmediatamente las ubicó en los primeros lugares de popularidad, esto se empezó a reflejar en las ventas de miles de discos y cantidad de presentaciones. Ahora ya la gente las conocía y poco a poco se crearon clubs de fans que iban en aumento identificando a cada una como Ilse (la güerita del grupo, la del rostro inolvidable), Mimí (la romántica y soñadora) e Ivonne (la enigmática, rebelde y misteriosa). Fueron pioneras en lo que a videos musicales se refiere y fue precisamente el video de “No Controles” quien entró al mercando anglosajón por MTV, colocándose en los primeros lugares de popularidad en la lista Billboard, siendo Flans uno de los primeros grupos musicales de habla hispana en entrar al mercado norteamericano. Cabe mencionar que en esta primera producción para el sello Melody, además de contar con temas del mismo Mariano Pérez, Chao, Memo Méndez y Nacho Cano, Mimí, una de las integrantes, interviene como coautora del tema “En el medio de los dos”. Empiezan a hacer promoción de los temas “Me gusta ser sonrisa” y la balada que se convertiría en todo un clásico del trío: “Ay amor”; siendo así merecedoras a los premios TV y Novelas y el Heraldo de México como mejor grupo revelación musical de 1985. Flans empezó a reafirmar su éxito y confirma su prestigio como el grupo pop de mayor impacto y ventas de discos, dentro de la música juvenil en español, marcando una pauta para el surgimiento de nuevos grupos femeninos, no sólo en México, sino en América Latina. En 1991 se separó esta agrupación y después se reunieron y salieron de gira en 1999. Desde entonce se han separado y reunido varias veces. En 2014, Ilse, Ivonne y Mimí se reunieron y estan de gira de nuevo. La agrupación Flans estará en actuación en los escenarios de El Coliseo de Austin el 9 de septiembre.

Peña Born of thirteen years of field research, this interdisciplinary work explores the complex intersections of technology, class, gender, and ecology in the transnational milieu of Mexico’s m foreign-owned assembly plants located along the U.S. border. Devon Peña examines workplace and community struggles from the perspective of the women who work in the m He describes the workers’ struggles for workplace democracy, social justice, and sustainable development. He also observes the circulation of struggle from the factory to the community, highlighting the efforts to establish worker-owned cooperatives in the border region during the 1970s and 1980s. Female m workers are typically portrayed as passive, apolitical, and easily exploited. This book, however, presents an opposing view, investigating the “subaltern life of the shop floor”—the workers’ informal methods of resistance to hazardous conditions, sexual harassment, and managerial tyranny. Using survey research, oral history, discourse analysis, and site ethnography, the author develops a cogent critique of labor-process theory, a critique grounded on his extensive study of actual workplace politics in the m T T o is a trenchant analysis of the political, cultural, and environmental effects m industrialization and an eloquent and persuasive call for alternatives in the direction of ecologically sustainable and culturally appropriate modes of development.

ARRIBA 9/8/16 pg. 5 S$%$&' (& )*$ +$,After almost 21 years after her death, Tejana singer Selena continues to make the news. It is clear that the singer’s legacy will continue for a long time. On August 18th, Gov. Greg Abbott announced Selena Quintanilla Perez as one five women to be inducted to the Texas Women’s Walk of Fame. The Tejano superstar was nominated by Corpus Christi Mayor Nelda Martinez. The induction ceremony for the 2016 Texas Women’s Hall of Fame honorees will be October 21 at Texas Woman’s University in Denton. Madame Tussauds Hollywood unveiled Selena Quintanilla in wax during a rooftop celebration with the Quintanilla family and hundreds of fans. Special guests included Abraham Quintanilla, Marcella Quintanilla, Suzette Quintanilla, A.B. Quintanilla, Chris Perez, Jackie Guerra (Selena), Jackie Cruz (Orange is the New Black), and recording artists Paula DeAnda, and Gaby Moreno. Colin Thomas, General Manager of Madame Tussauds Hollywood remarked “At Madame Tussauds, our figures represent icons who have made a significant impact on our culture. That perfectly describes Selena. Her influence has transcended generations and her passionate fans continue to be inspired by her to this day. We recognize this and in response, we are proud to join her fans in celebrating her legacy by immortalizing her.” In response to an outpouring of fan appreciation, Madame Tussauds Hollywood stepped forward to immortalize the Selan Wax Figure beloved singer-songwriter in wax, working with a team of expert sculptors and artists to meticulously research and capture Selena’s authentic likeness. “On behalf of our family we would like to express a huge amount of gratitude to Madame Tussauds in creating such an amazing lifelike wax figure of our beloved Selena.

More Mexicans Leaving Than Coming to the U.S More Mexican immigrants have returned to Mexico from the U.S. than have migrated here since the end of the Great Recession, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of newly available government data from both countries. Net Loss of 140,000 from 2009 to 2014.Family reunification was top reason for return.The same data sources also show the overall flow of Mexican immigrants between the two countries is at its smallest since the 1990s, mostly due to a drop in the number of Mexican immigrants coming to the U.S.From 2009 to 2014, 1 million Mexicans and their families (including U.S.-born children) left the U.S. for Mexico. U.S. census data for the same period show an estimated 870,000 Mexican nationals left Mexico to come to the U.S., a smaller number than the flow of families from the U.S. to Mexico. Measuring migration flows between Mexico and the U.S. is challenging because there are no official counts of how many Mexican immigrants enter and leave the U.S. each year. This report uses the best available government data from both countries to estimate the size of these flows. The Mexican data sources - a national household survey, and two national censuses - asked comparable questions about household members’ migration to and from Mexico over the five years previous to each survey or census date. In addition, estimates of Mexican migration to the U.S. come from U.S. Census Bureau data, adjusted for undercount, on the number of Mexican immigrants who live in the U.S. By Ana Gonzalez-Barrera.
