Heroes do not exist!
Apolinar Castrejón Marino
Dr. Lety Calderon made a book that left more than a scalding "Superheroes do not exist." But not think that relates to Batman or Superman or Wonder Woman or Spider Man.
Dr. Leticia Calderón Chelius, in his book refers to the Mexicans who go to the United States legally or illegally, whom the authorities have tried to convince us that they are almost a superhero, why work hard, that send large amounts of dollars to keep the national economy, and strive to put on high the name of our country.
The pretext behind which served the author of the book is the analysis of the first election in which Mexicans were abroad, could participate by voting in 2006 elections, in which the little guy is bald Michoacan "agandalló" the Presidency. It was a meaningful choice because it recreated the symbols, visions sectarian and national phobias.
The presentation of the book "Superheroes Do not Exist" was held in the library "Octavio Paz" Economic Culture Fund located in the Plaza Valentín Gómez Farías # 12 of the San Juan Mixcoac of the nation's capital. Just in case, Dr. Calderon was careful to guard the back with 2 good presenters: David Recondo and Jorge A. Schiavon, and the moderator, Gabriela Sánchez Gutiérrez.
The pages refer to the well-known heroes from Greek mythology, the Egyptian and Aztec, and then refers to outstanding citizens who have contributed to the collective good. These are heroes if the author stresses. Mention
socially shared images of the official discourse, with which it has fed the perception that we have in migration to the United States. The Mexican government has put our countrymen crossing the border, on the altar of heroism, but spends large sums on campaigns that seek to discourage migration.
is easy to remember like the Mexicans who studied, worked and refused to leave home and family, is expressed of migrants with derogatory adjective "wet" and "braziers. But since the nineties the official discourse, which assumes the interest of the political and financial, grand concepts incorporated for dollar remittances.
The overview of the book is that in building our democracy "superheroes do not exist", but that there are simple citizens who value their effort and the political system demand equity and justice. After a long struggle in the 2006 elections Mexicans living abroad could vote. But they did so without knowledge and without conviction, without a greater appreciation for the Mexican ... and no desire to return.
The author stresses that it is precisely the concept of homeland the most ambiguous of migrants, it very easily adopt lifestyles that are totally alien to them. Soon to be the "other side" is an affront to English, Mexican food and fashion in dress. Just
are a month in the U.S. and when they return and say instead of movies movis, sodas, instead of soda, and his nagging: May ou gad. Which of course is not bad, how pathetic is that they are not removed as tight, squat and Monaco. Ja, ja. A ridiculous nobody can beat us right?
There are success stories of Mexicans who go to the United States, and there work hard to win as many dollars. Save as much as you can to send them promptly to his family, and in the agreed time, returning to take over his family, which already has a heritage. But those cases are rarely seen.
Most who leave our country, are adventurers who have no definite idea of \u200b\u200bnationality, which were gutted in the school with large debts. Bums who have never worked here in the land, magically become hard workers there.
is no doubt that Mexicans are the only race in the world that we would be "gringos" German or Japanese. No way.
