Important due dates and assignments

#1: Please remember that Blog Post#7: Espiritu is due Friday, April 15. Consider of the following, if you aren't sure what to write about, in your blog post:
-Do you agree with the notion that " viewing machismo as a compensation for inferiority (whether its ultimate cause is seen as external or internal to the oppressed), in effect blames Chicanos for their own subordination" (Zinn 25)?
-Interpret the quote which begins with "We must understand that while maleness is highly valued in our society...called into dispute" (Zinn 29)? Be sure to include this long quote and format it according to MLA block quote structure? Think about how this quote captures what we have discussed about masculinities in relation to Theroux, Marable and Epiritu.

#2: The Midterm exam is this Friday, April 15.
