In this virtual conference, Dr. Tony Zavaleta, Emeritus Professor of Anthropology and Historian at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley will present a synopsis of the constant political upheaval and war that swept through Mexico after the expulsion of the Spanish in 1820.
From the 1820s to the 1860s, Mexico was in constant turmoil and suffered invasions from England, France, and the United States.
This program is part of Puentes Literarios Arkansas-México, a collaboration between the Central Arkansas Library System (CALS) and the Consulate of Mexico in Little Rock to promote cultural and bilingual exchange among our users. It'll be virtually available May 4 from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm
Dr. Zavaleta will provide an overview of the social and political circumstances that fueled the conflict, including the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, which is known as Cinco de Mayo.
Zavaleta is considered one of the leading experts on the US-Mexico border, speaking frequently in both countries.
He was appointed to two federal commissions by Presidents Reagan and Obama.
Zavaleta is a native of Brownsville, Texas and a member of a pioneer family that has resided on the US-Mexico border since 1600. He received a Ph.D. in anthropology in 1976 from the University of Texas and has spent the last 45 years studying the Mexican border.
Zavaleta is internationally recognized for studying border population growth and urban development, poverty, immigration, and many other border issues, including most notably health disparities.
Zavaleta has studied healers known as curanderos and shamans throughout Mexico and has published numerous books and articles on border area shamanism and medicinal plants.
His most recent publication is "Curandero: Ethno-psychotherapy and curanderismo, Hispanic mental health in the 21st Century."
Zavaleta was awarded the Order of the Ohtli, Nahuatl by ‘Pathfinder’ of Mexico, the highest award given to a non-Mexican citizen, for his 45 years of study and defense of Mexicans residing in the United States.
He is emeritus professor of anthropology and sociology at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and a member of the Board of Trustees of Texas Southmost College.

Just read the book same thing nothing new...
Juan Montoya's decision to not roundly endorse Ben Neece cost the city commissioner an outright win. Only El Paya Jerry McHale went all-in with Neece, a politician who now must overcome the embarrassment of a run-off against a political neophyte.
After all that Ben Neece did for Montoya, too.
Que gacho se lo traiciono!
The city election is over, but have we rid ourselves of that paradigm of political fart-smellers and parasitical hangers-on?
I fear not.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - MORE BIKE TRAILS (USELESS), MORE POT HOLES, THEY CAN PRACTICE HERE BEFORE THEY GO TO THE MOON AGAIN OR EVEN MARS, MORE FLOODING THAT STATE REP CAN START ANOTHER FLOOD BOARD AT 100K A YEAR SALARIES, TRAFFIC JAMS GALORE CLOSE ALL THE MAJOR BLVDS LIKE BOCA CHICA AND OF COURSE THE VOTERS REMAINED CLUELESS - PENDEJOS!
Let start the blame game one won and one (maybe) lost but only because the voters remain stupid.
Too bad that we had a very low number of voters, we'll continue to see more useless bikelines, ill-attended Cylovias and so called leaders who do not pay a penny of property taxes but are quick to spend taxpayers money. Good bye to street maintenance and proper drainage issues. Pathetic.
Let's get real about the local bike trails, something Harlingen and McAllen offer without blowback of endless complaints: Bicycling takes effort and Mexicans in Brownsville are lazy. They come from the historical use of the burro and homemade wagons. They'd rather stand in the sun and wait on the city bus or buy a carcacha for $500 off that stimulus check.
Bike trails and Brownsville. Que lastima.
You don't see pot holes galore in mc or har only here in brown town, you don't see traffic jams, and lines 20 car deep at every red light in Mcallen or harlingen
Maintain and do some fixing and things might just change. YOU DON'T SEE EVEN GRINGOS USING THE BIKE TRAILS WHY THE ONLY GRINGOS I SEE ARE HOMELESS. FIX THE PROBLEMS FIRST IDIOTAS
The homeless gringos sleep eat and rest on all bus shelters they rather walk with their chanclas than buy any type of transportation...lazy bums
AND THAT'S NOT SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT HILLBILLYS
Dr. Zavaleta, such an icon for Brownsville
He talks about corruption but what does he have to say about Adela garza, NADA!
Icon... Juliet bought him with a taco
Zavaletta pees in his pants now a days
He got all the students to vote and gave them an A so I hear
He tried to shit his wife in to a university job ... his is no icon
zavapatas speaks with fork tongue culo native work for culo...el brujo chafa
He can go to the flea market and buy him some panales oooooooh so sorry he's one of those gov't sponsored live free academic mamon. free everything including free time...
The Zavaletta are all ——— holes Tony is on top of the list
The Razorbacks will sleep through Tony's speech, but Tetreau would have their full attention.
