2010-11: On Repeat
2010-11: States pass 164 laws (including HB 56 in Alabama and Arizona's SB 1070, which is currently blocked by a federal injunction) that increase criminalization, police surveillance, and deportation of "suspected" undocumented immigrants. Many of these laws are supported by the prison industry.
Tuscon is later (2012) forced to ban the Mexican-American Studies program in a district that is a majority Latino (primarily Mexican-American).

Reimagining and Self-Determination:
- 1940: The Vichy Regime in France passes the Statute on Jews, which reclassifies Jewish people as non-French and noncitizens. A substantial portion of the French Resistance is made up of Jewish people and, among other things, provides escape routes for Jewish people in France to Spain.
- 1994: Moderate Hutus hide and protect Tutsis during the Rwandan Genocide.
- 2010-11: Massive creative demonstrations, boycotts by musicians and artists and athletes of Arizona lead to a federal injunction blocking the most aggressive aspects of anti-immigrant SB 1070 and the rescinding of Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s contract to enforce immigration policy.
- Why is there so much fear of undocumented immigrants? Consider within the context of this article.
- How can an alliance be built between undocumented immigrants and poor citizens (particularly white citizens)?
- Different areas of this country have been a majority people of color (parts of the South, the Southwest, California) at different points in history. How does the stoking of racial fear and racism support a hierarchical society that concentrates wealth. How does it create a more violent society?

AZ forced Tucson to drop the Mexican American studies program
I think it's misleading to say that in 2012 "Tucson" "votes" to ban the Mexican American studies program. AZ Superintendent of Schools and now Attorney General Tom Horne prosecuted the Tucson school district for offering the program, and threatened to cut off all state funds. In response, the school district (not the people of Tucson) were forced to drop the program in order to maintain state funding. But the onus is on Tom Horne and the AZ legislature, not "Tucson," which has demonstrated overwhelming local support for the program.Posted on 26 April 2012, 8:01 pm by Ivan Boothe | Permalink
