Aztlán - Davíd Carrasco
September 15, 2007
Are Mexican Americans entering the mainstream, or are we witnesses to what some call the “Reconquista” of the southwestern United States?
In this inaugural issue of Blog La Plaza, Harvard scholar Davíd Carrasco gives us a primer on Aztlán, the mythological home of the Aztecs and a powerful—and some say dangerous—symbol of Mexican American nationalism.
Davíd Carrasco is the director of the Moses Mesoamerican Archive and Research Project. He has a joint appointment with the Department of Anthropology in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University.
