A complete citation includes a PAGE NUMBER.  1. In his essay “Culture, Language, and the Americanization of Mexican Children,” the well-known Chicano historian Gilbert Gonzalez (1997) notes that educational programs for Mexican American children during the first half of the twentieth century were explicitly designed to produce a form of “[a]ssimilation [that] involved … the elimination of linguistic and cultural differences [and] an entire culture that assimilation advocates deemed undesirable” (163). Angela’s experiences in the classroom reflect this history? Cite one or more specific examples from the Lachtman selections.  2. Based on Luis Alvarez’s introduction to “Zoot Violence in Los Angeles,” how do his research and analysis build upon and complicate previous historians’ accounts of the so-called “zoot suit riots”? Cite from the text to support your answer.  3. Discuss the role of the police in the so-called “zoot suit riots.” Use two or more appropriately-contextualized citations from the text to support your discussion.  4. Using examples from the text, explain why we need to understand the so-called “zoot suit riots” as motivated by race, rather than exclusively by style or habitus. Also, given the clear racial patterns in these conflicts, how does Alvarez explain the fact that the (white) mobs in Los Angeles also attacked several white zoot suiters?  5. What does Alvarez say about the ways in which ideologies of gender and sexuality contributed to the hostilities that ultimately led to the “zoot suit riots”? Cite from the text and explain your answer.Arts & HumanitiesEnglish
