Open Educational Resources by School

This unit interrogates the idea of a globalised world by showing how inequalities in access to material wealth and expectations of lifestyle, which have been created historically between the US and Mexico, produces border tensions as Mexicans seek entry to the US to do jobs that resident American citizens will not undertake for the wages offered.

This course considers films spanning the entire career of pioneering Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel (1900–1983), from his silent surrealist classic of 1929, Un perro andaluz, to his last film, Ese oscuro objeto del deseo (1977).

This collection of photographs includes images of the many poignant, proud, exasperating, joyful, and intimate moments in the lives of people in these Mexican-American communities at a very specific point in time.

These images depict families, individuals, business and work experiences, festivals and community events, daily life and individual achievements. Among these are the 1928 Rice Institute graduation photo of Primitivo L. Nino; 1940s photos of the Rusk Settlement House for Mexican-American Immigrants; photos of workers and working conditions; students; educational; and church events.

A collection of oral histories from Yale Library's archives.
