| dc.description.abstract | This work focuses on the arguments that legitimize or contest Arizona House Bill 2281, using as a basis ideas presented in The Disuniting of America (1991) by Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. and Ronald Takaki’s A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America (1993). The consequences of the bill to the Arizona Latino/a population become clear, and the political motives behind it, also. That which constitutes as history to both scholars is evaluated and criticized, if necessary. Multiculturalism in the Arizona public school system is assessed, and critical arguments surrounding belonging and inclusion are provided. Also, developments in US education are evaluated in relation to HB 2281 and United States history, and in the end an answer to the question whether Republicans hate Latinos/as, as claimed by Mexican-American labor activist Dolores Huerta, is provided. | en_US |
