Who is La Raza, What is a Chicano and What is Reconquista?
There is a big hue and cry (mostly from radical white Anglos-Saxon nationalists’ camps), that Mexicans are bent on conquering the United States (through a Reconquista) and want to reclaim what they believe is land that originally belonged to Mexico. These folks charge both Mexican nationals as well as many Mexican American (who were born in the United States) are secretly developing a plan to take back (at least) portions of the US (such as California, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, parts of Florida and a big chunk of Nevada. Their clarion call heard often on talk radio and on the Internet is that the Mexicans’ call for Reconquista has been launched.
This audacious rant has been ignited mostly from the incendiary seeds planted by Christian xenophobes like Eric John Phelps, author of Vatican Assassins and also by once Presidential candidate and political commentator, Patrick Buchanan, who charged thus in his 2006 book, State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America:
“Paralyzed by guilt, we are inviting La Reconquista, the reconquest of the Southwest by Mexico, even as Ferdinand and Isabella affected La Reconquista of Spain in 1492 from the Moors who had invaded eight hundred years before. What Mexico’s elites have in mind, what they are systematically pursuing, is a sharing of sovereignty in these lost lands and their ultimate recapture, culturally, linguistically, by Mexico, no matter which nation holds title to them.” (State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America).

Phelps, on his Vatican Assassins web site, is more salacious in describing this so-called conspiracy as he posted a picture of young angry Mexican protesters flipping the bird at those detractors who were taunting them from the sidewalks, and implies that this demonstration is a preview of a reconquista plan being orchestrated by Jesuit Catholics:
“These insulting, arrogant, Alien Roman Catholic Mexican invaders will be registered to vote for the Democratic Party(the Order’s “Social Justice” Communist Party) in Rome’s plot to drive all Whites into the arms of the Jesuits ruling the Republican Party (the Order’s anti-Communist, anti-Black, anti-Jew, White Fascist Party).

As you can see via the attached picture, these uncivilized, crude and lewd, Alien….

Beverly Hills, CA — Nominations for the 82nd Academy Awards were announced on Tuesday, February 2 by Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Tom Sherek and 2008 Oscar® nominee Anne Hathaway. Among the over 130 nominees, five are Latinos whose nominations came in the producer, actor, foreign film and short film (animated) categories.

Below is an overview of these talented individuals:

Jonas Rivera: Nominated for an Oscar as producer in the Best Motion Picture of the Year category for his work on Pixar/WaltDisney’s animated film Up. Rivera started his career in 1994 at Pixar, working as a production assistant in their debut animated film Toy Story, which went on win an Oscar for Special Achievement.

Cruz is said to have been “surprised and elated” upon hearing of her nomination for Nine and fully credited Rob Marshall, telling People magazine, “Rob Marshall is not only a genius but an absolute joy to work with.”

In the Foreign Film Category there are two Latin American countries vying for the Oscar. They are:

For Argentina Juan Jose Campenella’s directorial of The Secret of Her Eyes. In the 1980s Campellell was ontrack to becoming an engineer in his native Argentina, but dropped out after four years at the university, commenting that the decisive factor for this decision was watching All That Jazz on the very day he was going to apply for a fifth year.

American audiences know Campenella’s work for the television shows he had directed, among them: House, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order: Criminal Intent and 30 Rock). Campenella has directed several award-winning films including The Boy Who Cried Bitch in 1991; Love Walked In in 1997; El mismo amor, la misma lluvia (1999); and Son of the Bride (2001). Since beginning the film festival circuit, The Secret of Her Eyes has been lauded internationally, and now the crowned as an Oscar nominee.

For Peru, The Milk of Sorrow directed by Claudia Llosa. Llosa is the niece of the Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa and the film director Luis Llosa. A resident of Madrid, Spain, where she moved in the 1990’s to study at the film academy Escuela TAI. Her script Madeinusa won the prize for the best unpublished script at the 2003 Havana Film Festival. In 2009 Llosa finished her second film The Milk of Sorrow (La teta asustada) which was shortlisted for the 59th Berlin International Film Festival. It is the first Peruvian film nominated for the Golden Bear award, and won the main award.

Add to all this an Oscar nomination for Best Short Film (animated).

Javier Recio Gracia is both writer and director of the Oscar nominated film The Lady and the Reaper in the Animated Short Film category. Two years ago Kandor Moon, his production company, decided to make a short film as sort of a challenge to testtheir technical and artistic research, the result, an Oscar nominated film which has also been nominated for a Goya Award in its native Spain this year.

Reunion Latina 2010 is around the corner! We have so much work to do!

2010 will be indeed a demanding time for all of us: While the nation has elected a new president, the International AIDS conference was held in Mexico City this past summer, bringing light to the situation of HIV and AIDS in the Americas; and the current financial crisis is affecting all sectors of this country; we need to get involved, stay informed and work together more than ever to find ways to deal with the challenges ahead of us.

Reunion Latina continues its tradition of uniting voices and promoting actions to raise awareness among religious and civic leaders, working with the media and educating our Latino Communities about the impact of health disparities, HIV/AIDS and the effects of stigma, homophobia and discrimination.

A critical initiative this year is the promotion of a New York State HIV/AIDS Latino Action Agenda that establishes our needs and priorities, and present them to the bodies in charge of addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Civic participation and mobilization are key components to reminding our elected and appointed leaders to address AIDS from an integral perspective. HIV/AIDS in the Latino community continues causing devastating effects.
