ASK TIA TENOPIA 9.16.12

September 17, 2012 by Tia Tenopia

HAPPY MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY!

Your Tia Tenopia is so excited about this week’s celebrations of Mexican Independence Day. Oh, my, this week-end and Margaritas…por favor!  For those of you who don’t know, way back in  1810 Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla made the call to arms to throw out the Spanish from what was then known as New Spain, and proclaimed the Mexican Republic. A ten year war ensured but it resulted in a new nation…Mejico!

Your Tia was really lucky this week-end to be able to attend a special recognition of the famed Puerto Rican actor, Henry Darrow, at the Gene Autry museum. Henry is best known for his portrayal of “Manolito Montoya,” in the TV series “High Chaparral.”  Henry is also being honored at the Alma Awards, produced by the National Council on La Raza, Henry has a new biography out, “Henry Darrow, Lightening in the Bottle,” so go out and get it!

This week we have two great new videos. In History, we continue with the second part of the story of the El Paso Bowie Bears. This is the story of how a rag-tag team of high school baseball players didn’t let discrimination and prejudice get in the way of them winning the Texas state baseball championship in 1949. In Music, we visit again with Cunao. Julio Montero brings us another song in the up-dated tradition La Nueva Cancion, “Luchador.”

Sergio Hernández forces us take a closer look at Mexican Independence with his cartoon on the “Burden of the Mexican People.” And Lazaro de la Tierra discovers a new lead to his identity as a Mexican Zombie when he discovers there is another zombie in the world beside himself.

Enjoy these week’s videos!

POLITICAL SALSA Y MAS with SAL BALDENEGRO 4.22.18 “EMAIL ORGANIZING, AKA GIVE US SOME MONEY”

April 21, 2018 By Tia Tenopia

Democrats-liberals and Republican-conservatives may be on opposite sides of the political spectrum, but if the dozens of political emails I receive daily are any guide, they seem to use the same political consultant(s). Or maybe they just rent the same robot and take turns using it. They certainly use the same playbook. At least they […]

FIERCE POLITICS with DR. ALVARO HUERTA 4.22.18 “I AM NOT YOUR WETBACK.”

April 21, 2018 By Tia Tenopia

I Am Not Your “Wetback” “Anti-Mexicanism is a form of nativism practiced by colonialists and their inheritors. —Dr. Juan Gómez-Quiñones (2017) To borrow—more like steal—from the great James Baldwin’s writings and speeches, I declare to America’s racists that I am not your “wetback.” I am a man. I am a Chicano. I am a proud […]

BURUNDANGA BORICUA DEL ZOCOTROCO 4.15.18 “¿PATRIA, PAÍS O NACIÓN?”

April 15, 2018 By Tia Tenopia

El Congreso Norteamericano ha sido categórico en reafirmar nuestro carácter de territorio no incorporado, por lo que se me hace imperativo volver una y otra vez sobre esa realidad y las implicaciones que tiene para los sometidos. Territorio, según la Real Academia de la Lengua, es una porción de superficie terrestre perteneciente a una nación. […]

IN AMERICA’S DEFENSE: MEXICANS AND MEXICAN AMERICANS    By Felipe de Ortego y Gasca At almost 92, World War II seems like a world and a half ago. I had just turned 17 in 1943 when I enlisted in the Marines during the dark days of World War II and 20 when I was mustered […]

LATINOPIA FOOD RECIPE “JALAPEÑO SODA BREAD”

By Tia Tenopia on March 14, 2011

Here’s a soda bread recipe from Ireland brought to the USA from Galway by Mary Patricia Reilly Murray and later transformed  with her blessing by her daughter, Bobbi Murray, who added jalapeño chile.  A real […]

By Tia Tenopia on March 19, 2013

The effort to organize farm workers under a union contract has been a long and difficult struggle. In 1965, César Chávez and Dolores Huerta created what would become the United Farm Workers Union. From the onset they  faced many obstacles, not the least of which was how to get dozens of California grape growers to […]
