Directions:
Write an “opinion” piece as a “journalist” – meaning you do not have to write it as an academic piece, but more as a reflective piece that can also allow for more freedom to voice opinions or additional information that is relevant. Please include the following information:
· Identify what contributed to the formation of Mexican identity.
· Develop an analysis that explains the cultural impact of colonization and independence within the context of understanding Mexican identity. (ie. consider the content on intersectionality).
o Include examples of how intersectionality can help understand various experiences within Mexican and/or Mexican American communities – provide some examples. You may reference modern day examples, but be sure to provide historical context.
o Be sure to identify the intersecting identities you reference.
o Be sure to identify if this is an example of how those intersecting identities result in an experience of privilege or oppression? Explain how so, and why.
· Add any additional thoughts, conclusions, or questions as you wish.
· Your article should be 3+ paragraphs.
· All of your article should be in your own words.
· Cite your sources using MLA formatting.
