Abstract

How many US curriculum studies professors know either? While the brute facts of US-Mexico history are familiar to many, even these tend to remain contextualized in US history. At the time of this writing (summer 2010), Mexicans working illegally in the US are so contextualized, converted into pretexts for domestic political wrangling. Drug wars, kidnappings, and violence in general: these horrific facts of contemporary Mexican life provide provocation for a paranoid patriotism in the United States, intensified by a mass media industry that acts as if only sensationalism sells. Even in the ordinarily restrained New York Times the July 2010 election was first reported in patronizing terms, as assurance that “amid all the violence Mexico’s democracy, flawed as it may be, endures” (Lacey 2010, A4). One day afterward a more sober and subtle commentary did appear—from Mexico City (see Krauze 2010, A19).

There are two Mexicos: one within the border of the republic and one in the US
