1.1602 An Historical Discussion of Mexican Immigration in California.
In spite of recent referrals to the decline of boundaries between nations and cultures that is a feature of globalization, issues of immigration remain much debated in the United States in the late 1990s. This paper examines the 'Mexican Question' in California with regard to history, as it most definitely continues to shape Californians' attitudes and political sentiment. The result is a view of an American region that by no means reflects the dissolution of borders between cultures that is held by some theorists to be occurring at the present time. 9 pgs. 18 f/c. 18b.

4.1898 Nicaragua: The Cost of U.S. Forms of Control.
Nicaragua is the largest of the Central American republics. U.S. imperialism has done a lot of harm to this Central American country, especially through the reality of the Contra war, which the U.S. supported and conducted throughout the 1980s. To be sure, the Contra war left an indelible mark on the Nicaraguan personality. The history of Nicaragua is a story about American supported authoritarianism and civil war. The violence that has been exported from the United States in this effort has had a drastic impact on the Nicaraguan people. 5 pgs. 18 f/c. 6b.

6.2686 Mexico's Economic Development and Its Status in the World Economy.
Mexico is classified as an upper-middle-income economy by the World Bank, and though it is a member of NAFTA, it is still marked with the indelible scar of a developing economy.

This paper will illustrate this sketchy pattern of Mexico's development. 10 pgs. 18 f/c. 4b.
