NIFL-HEALTH listservers,
Did anyone watch the Mexican television Televisa XEW-9 from
Mexico City this past Friday night at 11:45pm. The program title was
"California: El Mexico de alla". Many folks from throughout Mexico are
headed for California in search of work. And, now, even the Zapotec
Indians of Oaxaca, south of Mexico City, are headed for California.
Many of these Zapotec Indians, if not most of them, didn't even know
Spanish when they lived in Mexico, and that would go back about 500
years, and now in California, not only are they confronted with the
English language and the Spanish language, but other differences. And,
when it comes to health issues and health information this is really
going to be a challenge for medical librarians.
In 1862 in Mexico, at the time of the 'Cinco de mayo, Benito
Juarez was president. He was also a Zapotec Indian. I wonder what he'd
think knowing his people were leaving their state of Oaxaca and their
country. Especially since they were there first before the Spaniards.
