García, Fernando León; Alcocer, Sergio M.; Eighmy, Taylor; Ono, Santa J. – Wilson Center, 2021
When the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) came into fruition in the early 1990s, there were high hopes and expectations on what this emerging economic block could achieve.

Everyone under the age of 20 who has grown up in North America has lived in the common market created by NAFTA--the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Rivera, Lysa – Aztlan: A Journal of Chicano Studies, 2010
This essay examines how Guillermo Gomez-Pena's ethno-cyborgs, performance personae that first appeared in his work in the mid-1990s, exploit and critique two overlapping cultural-political movements: the emergence of Internet technologies (cyberculture) and the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). After locating the…

Gutstein, Eric – Rethinking Schools, 2013
Displacement was part of students' realities--gentrification in North Lawndale (a Chicago community), deportation in Little Village, and foreclosures in both. The author started the unit in his 12th-grade "math for social justice" class by telling the story (with family permission) of Carmen, a student in his class. Her grandmother paid…

Childress, Vincent W. – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2012
For the past two decades, and recently with the economic recession, the media has emphasized the decline of manufacturing in the United States and other developed countries.

Alper, Paul – Higher Education Review, 2010
The new objects of public and open prejudice are Hispanics, primarily Mexicans due to their large population and their proximity to the United States.

With the dollar's continued swoon and grim news on the job front, American economic competitiveness has become a central theme in the presidential election.
