my Proposal

My Proposal

My social documentation project is going to be on the status of Latinos and Hispanics in American Society. Also to my project, I am going to be presenting a music video by Ricardo Arjona and the musical Group, Intocable titled “El Mojado”, along with photographs that I would take of Pilsen and the Little Village neighborhoods. To show how Latinos are constantly being criticized and looked at in a negative way. This puts them in two faces of oppression, marginalization and exploitation. Minority, immigrants, and brown people are some common names used to refer to Latinos. This would fit our criteria by the statement of how Latinos view this society and that the only reason why they put up with this is because they need to come home to their families with a warm plate on the table ready to eat. As for the topics that it would fit to this documentation project, they will consist of immigration; the history of it and the affect it took in American society, the history of Pilsen and the Little Village neighborhoods, and what has been done to develop or redevelop their communities.
