Talk:Reconquista (Mexico)

message: I wrote the skeleton of the current article two years ago -- most of the original language is intact but there is still a lot of confusion about how to represent this concept in a serious encyclopedia.  First, a couple of historical points:
Recently, there has been some consensus among historians that the "Reconquista" of Spain, that is, the reversion of Spain from an Islamic state to its previous Christian one -- was largely a demographic transition.  It used to be believed that the reversion to Christianity was the result of a lot of dramatic battles, but, remarkably, it turns out most of the change was the result of gradual population shifts.  Awareness of this fact has informed the coiners of the "reconquista" phrase in the Mexican context.  No one with any sensitivity to the full and historically contextualized meaning of the word "reconquista" would sustain a "nationalist" reading of its significance, unless they had a humorous end.  In fact, the actual use of the word is mostly confined to people who understand what it means, that is, Mexicans who read a lot.
This is the beginning and the end of the story; people who think this has something to do with the "Aztlan" crowd (whether they belong to the aztlan crowd or not), are generally totally ignorant of the actual phrase as it actually exists.  It requires a lot of specific knowledge of Spanish and Mexican literary history to understand why this word is used, something that the Chicano nationalists are not only ignorant of but hostile to.  If you study the edit history you will notice a lot of phrases like "chicano nationalists do not acutally use this word but..."  They never used the word because they don't know what it means, and they don't have any sensitivity to why it is or isn't relevant.  Occasionally there have even turned up indigenist interpretations of the term -- that is something to the effect of, "reconquista means the recovery of this land by indigenous people."  That is pure US undergraduate infantilism; almost all Mexicans have complex racial identities that incorporate European components, and those few that don't do not regard themselves as Mexican any more than the Amish feel American.  In short, please leave this curious and specific article alone unless you have the slightest, most minimal clue what it really acutally means when used by the people who have a clue what it minimally, actually means.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.141.53.40 (talk) 09:02, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Please

message: Might as well say my piece before this two paragraph article becomes the scene of another edit war. The concept of recoquista can be seen mainly as an issue of nationalism, more specifically pan- or greater nationalism, like how the Sudeten Germans wanted to be part of the German nation-state, Serbia wanting control over Serb populated areas of Bosnia, etc. It happens all over the world. While the term is used by white racist against Hispanics, the same is true of Chicano nationalists who use the term with the same meaning, except for them it is a good thing. Both accuse the other of being "racists"
What you have here is a garden variety ethnic conflict with out a "good guy" or "bad guy" but simply two cultures living in the same area, with nationalist agitators in each camp. Surprised there is so much hub-bub about it.--Dudeman5685 17:13, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well the hub-bub seems to come from the fact that the reconquista is not the name for the concept promoted by hispanic groups.  It's a catch all term used to stir up feelings of fear induced hate among small groups of ethnic whites.  Pretty soon even hispanic groups not associated with the original meaning of reconquista are accused of it in an attempt to marginalize them.  I've added the link to the nativist article because reconquista really is used far more often by those groups than by any others. Mosquito-001 20:03, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: While it is certainly true that many anti-hispanic groups blow it out of porportion, is there not also a legitamite concern about a people concentrated on a nations borders, with ethnic links to the a nieghboring counrty and a feeling of victimhood and Romantic nationalism? Nor is it simply a structural question of oppressed/oppressor, just look at what happened, and is still happening in Kosovo. Other historical examples include the Sudetenland and East Prussia durring and immediatly after WW2--Dudeman5685 22:58, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This isn't place though to argue imigration and nationalities policy. While reconquista is used by racist whites, racist hispanics, and non-racist immigration reformers, who each have their wn understanding of the term. Close inspection of world ethnic conflicts show that it is when each portays themself as being "oppressed" by the other, and each harps on how it has been victimized by the other (Hutu/Tutsi) (Israel/Palestine perfect example) the cycle of mutual distrust and hared only grows.--Dudeman5685 23:06, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Categorizing "reconquista" as simply another example of world ethnic conflicts is doing it a great disservice.  It's a term wrapped up in the racial and ethnic history of the united states and, as far as I know, doesn't have any close parallels to the Israel/Palestine or Hutu/Tutsi conflicts.     I could explain it further but you're probably better off googling the term and coming to your own conclusions. Mosquito-001 23:59, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

text: i used Israel and Rwanda only as generalizations of the dynamic of ethnic conflict around the world; that both sides can claim a greivance, that elements in either camp seek to keep the greivance against the other community alive etc, etc, In our specific case the kosovo and Sudentenland analogies are closest, though they don't involve migration so much as shifting borders--Dudeman5685 02:44, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I know this is late, but stating "Americas most grave error is thinking that it is exceptional" is just plain ignorant. Historically is is VERY exceptional, for the world had not known democracy on such a wide scale until the American Revolution. All revolutions in Latin America and Europe followed after America's, whose people died and lost much in proving that freedom and self-government was possible. So, getting back to this article, where do these Mexican movements stand on the issue of freedom and democracy? And if there really is a Mexican Reconquista movement, how is their claim to the American Southwest any stronger than France's claim to Louisiana, or Russia's claim to Alaska? Last I heard, before the Mexican-American War, the Apanche Indians were the most powerful military force in the area, while Mexico was garrisoned in Santa Fe unable to assert their claim. In fact, Mexico's claim to the Southwest is a slap in the face to all the tribes of the area, since none of them ever had any affiliations with the Aztecs.

thread_title: POV

message: I don't know, it seems to me that the article states the facts and does not argue one way or the other.  Yes, there is a conspiracy theory, and yes, that is how anglo settlers initially took over much of the land on this side of the United States.
The article needs to state the true facts. 
Which are that the land being "claimed" by "chicanos" for "reconquista", which comprises the existing southwest states of the USA, was not Mexican land first, but rather the land of a myriad of native tribes, which were not "Mexican", and were not "Aztec". 
There was never any such place as "Aztlan", the Aztec (or Mexica) tribe never lived in the land which is now the United States, and the land which is now the southwest USA was not "Mexico", since no place called Mexico even existed.
When the Spanish came from Europe, the Spanish Conquistadores explored the continent of North America, and claimed part of the land as "New Spain". 
The Spanish drew the maps.
No maps were drawn by an Aztec tribe. 
The map being used to illustrate the "reconquista" and/or "Aztlan" has nothing to do with the Aztec tribe, it is a map of the Spanish land in North America, which became "Mexico" in 1822.
The land on this side of the United States was not "Mexico" first, it was native indian tribal lands (not "Aztec" tribe). 
It was not "Mexico" second", it was Spanish land, as in Spain, a nation still in Europe. 
It was only "Mexican" land for a few decades, 25 to 27 years, and most of it was sold to the United States following the signing of the Treaty of Guadelupe Hidalgo.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by CheyenneZ (talk • contribs) 02:27, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

message: This article is about a ridiculous belief held by a few grossly misinformed people.  It does a good job of explaining what the belief is and where it might have come from.  I would be for the deletion of this article if I wasn't worried it would show up under a different title with a few users trying to justify how ludicrous the whole notion is.  Because of that I think the article should stay as it is and be protected.  Mosquito-001 21:56, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article seems fine as it is 

message: *Some groups, that many would categorize as "hate" groups, believe that Mecha, as well as similar groups, intentionally mislead the general public on this subject because the group realizes that they would lose popular support from the general public for such bizarre position. Opponents point out that any Mecha web site clearly states removing, what Mecha members refer to as, foreign invaders or "gabachos"(people of european decent)from the Americas as a central goal. Mecha also refers to the Americas as the "bronze continent," which is clearly a designation refering to the long history of the Hispanic people in America. This upsets many "nativist" groups in the United States. Curiously, these "nativist" groups are almost exclusively made up of those of "white" protestant descent. The Mexican Government has denied any territorial claims.	The conspiracy of the reconquista bears many similarites to the way the American West was "tamed" during the 1800's. Many of those involved in civil rights surmise that the reconquista conspiracy is fueled by an irrational fear, on the part of many white "rights" groups, of the growing number of "minorities" in the United States and that history will be repeated with the "minorities taking over."

thread_title:  Unsourced material 

message: There is no source for this material.  In my research using Mexican-American primary sources, I have found only one document that used the word "reconquista" in the context referred to in the article.  The reality is that the word "reconquista" is primarily used by alarmists, who employ it to sensationalize what most people see as simply a gradual demographic shift.  If it sourced this right-wing material, much of which is available on the web, I might consider voting against its deletion.  But as it stands, I think the article ought to be deleted.  It is written from a POV, unsourced, and only marginally important, as the anti-illegal immigration movement is at best third-rail issue in American politics.  If no one objects soon, I'll tag it for deletion.--Rockero 23:49, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree this debate over the article has gone on for too long. It's basically an article about a conspiracy theory, with very little evidence, that was started to accuse a Mexican American civil rights organization of racism and many other baseless claims.

If those who keep editing this article keep refusing to cite which "groups" or "some people" keep making these claims, the accusations will be deleted.Mosquito-001 23:57, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

text: I'm not really surprised that you focus in on those words yet skip right over the part where various grievances are discussed.

Professor Predicts 'Hispanic Homeland'
By The Associated Press
Republica del NorteALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A University of New Mexico Chicano Studies professor predicts a new, sovereign Hispanic nation within the century, taking in the Southwest and several northern states of Mexico.
Charles Truxillo suggests the “Republica del Norte,” the Republic of the North, is “an inevitability.”
Truxillo, 47, has said the new country should be brought into being “by any means necessary,”
Here's another source:
A breakaway of U.S. states is a distinct possibility, according to prominent Chicano activist and University of California at Riverside professor Armando Navarro. In an interview with WorldNetDaily, Navarro would not answer directly whether he shared separatist aspirations, but said that if demographic and social trends continue, secession is inevitable.
"A secessionist movement is not something that you can put away and say it is never going to happen in the United States," he continued. "Time and history change."
El Plan Espiritual de Aztlán
In the spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historical heritage but also of the brutal "gringo" invasion of our territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants...of Aztlán from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land of their birth..
Aztlán belongs to those who plant the seeds, water the fields, and gather the crops and not to the foreign Europeans.
Brotherhood unites us, and love for our brothers makes us a people whose time has come and who struggles against the foreigner "gabacho" who exploits our riches and destroys our culture. With our heart in our hands and our hands in the soil, we declare the independence of our mestizo nation.
Bustamante Won't Renounce Ties to Chicano Student Group
Thursday, August 28, 2003
LOS ANGELES — California Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante (search), the grandson of Mexican immigrants who counts improving race relations among his biggest pursuits, refused Thursday to renounce his past ties to a little-known Hispanic organization considered by critics to be as racist as the Ku Klux Klan.
MEChA has used violence in the past to make its case. At a July 4 celebration in 1996, members of the group, who call themselves Mechistas, were videotaped attacking black and white Americans protesting illegal immigration. In 1993, students at UCLA caused $500,000 worth of damage during protests to demand a Chicano studies department. MEChA has also been associated with anti-Semitic groups like Nation of Aztlan.
MEChA's motto is "for the race, everything. For those outside the race, nothing." Critics say affiliation with that kind of group could spell political ruin for a white candidate and are upset that little attention has been paid to Bustamante's relationship with the group. He belonged to MEChA while attending Fresno State University in the 1970s.
According to the organization's constitution, "Chicanas and Chicanos must ... politicize our Raza [race] ... and struggle for the self-determination of the Chicano people for the purpose of liberating Aztlan."
Aztlan (search) is the area that is currently the southwest United States, but Mechistas claim Aztlan is their homeland to be returned to Mexico and the group says white Americans who currently govern these areas must be removed from power.
"What is a moderate member of a racist organization? 'I was a moderate member of the Klan.' Imagine if a Republican made that statement," Elder said.
"I think he should answer for his membership in the group," said syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin. "I think he needs to explain why he has not disassociated himself from a group that is violent, which has caused riots on campus and which has preached anti-Semitism and anti-black ideology."
This can be found at the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) website under Nation of Aztlan:
Introduction
The Nation of Aztlan (NOA), first organized in the early 1990s, is a California-based Hispanic nationalist organization that claims to represent the desires and aspirations of the Hispanic community. The organization calls for the United States to return "Aztlan" territory - Aztlan being the mythic homeland of the Mexican people, or Aztecs, which according to legend is found in the American Southwest or Northern Mexico. The group's nationalist message is blurred by frequent appeals anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism, homophobia and other expressions of hatred.Hispanic rights activists revived the story of Aztlan in the 1960s. Beyond a mere physical site, Aztlan has become a metaphor for the geographic, historical and spiritual home of many indigenous people in the Southwest. The NOA seeks to create a separate nation in the area now "occupied" roughly by California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
 The Sierra Times had a quote from a member of MEChA:
“Asked about his group’s ideology and intentions, Miguel Perez of Cal State-Northridge’s MEChA chapter replied: “The ultimate ideology is the liberation of Aztlán. Communism would be closest [to it].” Once Aztlán is established, continued Perez, ethnic cleansing would commence: “Non-Chicanos would have to be expelled opposition groups would be quashed because you have to keep power.”
There is ample evidence not only for the continued existence of this article, but an expansion of it's origins and detailed information on it's supporters.

I don't care if you do cite a crazy source, really.  There is worse stuff on Wikipedia.

This might be hard to do because of the very nature of conspiracy theories.  If there were a ton of evidence for it, it wouldn't be in the realm of conspiracy theories.  If the article were to be kept and expanded, I think it should be offlimits to anonymous users and new accounts.  Otherwise I think we'll quickly see the return of the vandalism that this article was previously swept up in.  This article can be informative without using alarmist tactics.

thread_title:  Problems with the article 

message: Does anyone here believe that "reconquista" is a word familiar to white racists?  The phrase (or analogy to the gradual repopulation and reconquest of Moorish Spain) was coined by Mexican writers Elena Poniatowska and Carlos Fuentes.  It was partly a joke and partly a distinctly non-racist demographic observation.  That is to say, some Mexican intellectuals (neither anti-American) observed similarities between the slow return of Christians to the Iberian peninsula and the reemergence of Mexican culture in the Southwest. Paranoid groups of all stripes appear to have pounced on the word as proof of some sort of Chicano Nationalist plot, or, conversely, a White Supremacist plot to invent a fake plot.  This is completely irrelevant to the real and interesting coinage, ie "Reconquista", which describes a real and interesting phenomenon with objective and quantifiable dimensions.  (Number of Spanish speakers, diffusion of cuisine and culture, etc.) None of the wikiwriters seem to have the slightest idea what they are talking about.  This kind of nonsense discredits the idea of a publicly edited encyclopedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.5.79.49 (talk • contribs)

thread_title: Bizarre and inaccurate

message: I've done a little bit of research (about five minutes worth) and have stumbled across a blog by Glenn Reynolds, professor of Law at the University of Tennessee, hosted on MSNBC.com. I don't really have much time to do more thorough research at the moment, so this will suffice for now. 
Within the blog there is an entry published on April 10, 2006 entitled "Annex Mexico?" in which he fights for the rights of illegal immigrants to be granted jobs in America. While doing so, however, he makes mention of the Reconquista movement and attributes the term to those who think that the Southwestern United States should go back to Mexico. I'll try to search more next week when I have more ample time. Blog entires found here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3395977/ 
However, I should also mention that there is far less information on the term's use in CNN and MSNBC then I originally thought. So while it may still be used by non-racists, it may not be a popular term. And there still isn't verifiable documentation of actual groups or names that strive for this movement. I know that I heard this term mentioned in this way on either MSNBC or CNN weeks ago though. I'll keep searching. --Jelligraze 20:29, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Usage of "Reconquista" by non-racists

message: The big problem we are having on this article is that both the meaning and the use of the word "Reconquista" are varied: Does it refer to a Mexicanization of the US Southwest peacefully, via repopulation? Or a conspiratorial scheme, possibly including armed insurrection? Fuentes and Poniatowska obviously meant the former. The blog that was recently added as "an opposing view" to the external links section (just beneath the American Patrol EL) credits Glenn Spencer himself as the architect of the conspiratorial definition (although fears of irredentism originally surfaced with the Chicano Movement-btw I left it for the meantime, but I think we'll have to mine that blog for info and sources and remove the link). It is due to the popularization of the term by exclusionists and nationalist groups that conservatives began to use it. So when "mainstream" people like Malkin and Reynolds look at the 2006 U.S. immigration reform protests and Samuel P. Huntington look at the numbers and say "reconquista is happening", they are correct inasmuch as they are observing the reconquista the Mexican intellectuals describe. But they don't make the distinction between the "two reconquistas". To this day there is no record of collusion between the Mexican government and MEChA, the NCLR, or anyone else to reclaim the United States. So the conspiratorial definition remains a conspiracy theory. ("Separatist sentiment", i.e. Chicano nationalism, is a different story entirely.) But the "reconquista" of Fuentes is very real, and ought not to be described as a movement at all, as its political aspects are not organized as such. Hopefully we can work together to straighten this out and create a better article.--Rockero 00:25, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Please refrain from making subjective comments in this article.  Articles are not forums to say whether a movement is right or wrong, just what it is.   
There also seems to be a tendency to try to illegitimize the Reconquista movement by claiming that it is some sort of conspiracy theory or something that was invented by White Supremacists or Neo Nazis to demonize illegal immigrants in the eyes of the public.  This is not true and so far, no reliable sources have been given to support such a claim.  
It is also unfair to both sides.  Such edits not only demonize people who support border security and the enforcement of existing border laws by conflating their views with racism, it writes off supporters of the Reconquista movement as illegitimate.

replies: text: No, because Charles Truxillo does not advocate "Reconquista", he wants Aztlan/Republica del Norte. Reconquista is the movement to reunite Mexico the way it was as and was meant to be: an empire. Aztlan and el Norte are movements that want to SEPARATE from Mexico. They do not advocate "Reconquista". We are not associated with those Aztlan movements. Viller the Great (talk) 05:56, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Reconquista does not exclusively refer to reunite with Mexico. Rather, it is a characterization of the increased demographic and cultural presence of Mexicans in the Southwestern United States, an area that was part of Mexico before the Texas annexation (1845) and the Mexican Cession (1848), as a trend leading toward territorial losses by the United States. Whether this territory reunites with Mexico or becomes a sovereign Hispanic state is beside the point.(Hyperionsteel (talk) 05:13, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello, I won't try to remove the sections which advocate Aztlan anymore, as you'll clearly keep undoing my work, I'm just trying to clarify. Most people think the people who want "Reconquista" (return to Mexico) are the same as crazy people who want "Aztlan/Republica del Norte/Anahuac". Aztlan, and its supporters, trick the Mexican population into thinking that they support Mexican nationalism, when in fact they want to create a new nation, which is "descended from the Aztecs" or whatever. The Aztec were never here! My friend you need to study, investigate and understand there are two different movements. I assume you don't live under the United Statesian empire to witness what's going on. For example, the Mexica Movement wants the "liberation of our people" and the expulsion of all "whites" back to Europe! What's wrong with them? They are racist like the people they call racist. Mexicans are a mestizo nation, a blend of European and indigenous cultures. These "Aztlan" people are completely racist against Europeans, and yet they make no effort to learn indigenous languages etc. Chicanism wants to destroy the Mexican nations, those lands are rightfully part of Mexico, not "Aztlan" or the US. They were guaranteed and recognized as Mexico's borders at our time of independence. They themselves are contradictory. Charles Truxillo says Norteños are not Mexican. We are a nation. Viller the Great (talk) 04:08, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: You are entitled to your opinions, but that does not change the fact that the term "Reconquista" (at least as it is defined by the sources cited in this article) is a characterization of the increased demographic and cultural presence of Mexicans in the Southwestern United States as a potential trend that could potentially lead to territorial losses by the United States. Whether the territory that is lost joins with Mexico or becomes an independent state is not relevant.(Hyperionsteel (talk) 08:35, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

text: Viller, thanks for your sincere arguments here to discuss this. FWIW though, I agree w/ Hyperionsteel here that the article should be more inclusive in the scope to include the reference to Truxillo. This makes me recall a seminar by Dr. Carlos Velez-Ibanez (way back) when I was in school in California, who emphasized that a definite migratory patterns existed among the (more or less) Aztec racial group, in what is now the Southwestern U.S. for centuries predating 1848. There is a racial component to the concept which doesn't necessarily conceive actual political cessions to the Mexican nation. Though I thought I'd despise the content the professor presented, his academic arguments won me over helped me understand the notion. Chicano groups (Brown Berets, MECHa) have a distinct culture from that of Mexican nationals, and have differing ideological goals, but they are rooted in the same historical context from past centuries.

text: Yerevanci, your ignorance on the subject at hand makes your opinion irrelevant, you know nothing at all about the history of the (now) US Southwest. Mexican tribes are NOT indigenous to the USA, that is a FACT, Mexico did not exist, as a sovereign nation until the United Mexican States was established in 1821. Our tribes, which lived on this land for thousands of years, prior to the arrival of Europeans were NOT "Mexican". Mexico did NOT exist. "Mexican" tribes are the tribes which are indigenous to the land that is now the present day Mexico, those tribes are NOT indigenous to the land which is now the USA. OUR (US) tribes are not "Mexican", and we have never been "Mexican", not when the European nation of Spain came here and stole our lands, and called it Nuevo Espania, New Spain (not "Mexico), and not for the brief 25, or so, years that Mexico claimed our tribal lands as "Indian Territory". In fact our tribal lands, which are now the US Southwest were never part of the United Mexican States.
Hispanics came from Europe, the area of the Iberian Peninsula called Hispania. NOT my "opinion", those are the FACTS.

text: John, I have looked at the links to those "sourced" opinions, written and spoken by individuals with an agenda detrimental to our native tribes here in the USA. Those are not, by the wildest stretch of anyone's imagination, "reliable sources". I have read the books those individuals have written (a lot of fiction, not facts), as well as the published articles, and manifestos, and there is nothing in any of their published material which comes anywhere close to being "facts".  Their attempt to rewrite history, and in the process, to erase our tribal histories (and very existence), replacing it with a lot of nonsense and lies is reprehensible. The people used as "sources" on that page are expressing their damaging, biased, and uneducated opinion, with no basis in historical fact. I know exactly who those people are, and exactly what their agenda is (and why some of them were terminated from their employment at some universities), .... and using their opinions as a "source" of information on that page (with no disclaimer on their lack of credibility) does nothing more than reinforce the widespread belief that Wikipedia is not a reliable "source" of information. Yet the fiction they have written and promote is still on that page, as if it had some validity (it does not), and why is it that none of you have removed it? Because it is "sourced"? That means nothing, when the source leads to a biased opinion, and an malevolent agenda, and not to historical fact. So just edit the opinion off the page, source and all, or edit the page off of Wikipedia. This is NOT an "encyclopedia" when it includes that sort of non-information with "sources" which are nothing more than some fringe group's (or person's) personal opinion with no basis in FACT.
