Mexican Independence Day is an important holiday celebrated by millions of people of Mexican heritage. Many of us are familiar with the basic sketches of the events and have heard names like Padre Hidalgo, and Morelos, but most don’t know the actual story nor the real dates of Mexican Independence—it is not Cinco the Mayo! In this lecture, we will cover the actual details of the struggle for independence and cover the important connections that Mexico’s Independence has to the US, Latin America, and Europe.  Professor Sal Diaz has taught various history courses at SRJC for 16 years. He is originally from a small town in California’s central valley. He currently lives here in Santa Rosa with his wife, and three children.

Chinaco Lecture by Professor Laura Larque

This event has been approved for flex credit 1.00 hour

After the Mexican war of Independence (1821), the Mexican population had the difficult task to establish their own cultural identity. By rejecting the European culture and thought, Mexicans were comprised by mix races, Indigenous, Afro-Mexican, and European populations, A new culture needed to include all people’s in Mexico. Thus, the Chinaco—La Raza Cósmica emerged. The Chinaco ideology established revolutionary social, economic, and political systems that were fought by the Spanish conservatives throughout the 1800s.  Professor Laura Larqué was born and raised in Mexico City. She attended UNAM—earning her BA degree in sociology. She earned her MA degree in history at SSU. Professor Larqué has been teaching for about 25 years at SRJC.
