The hysteria led pandemic repatriation drives and one million Mexicans and their children were illegally shipped to Mexico.Despite their horrific treatment and traumatic experiences, the American born children never gave up hope of returning to the United States. Upon attaining legal age, they badgered their parents to let them return home. Repatriation survivors who came back worked diligently to get their lives back together. Due to their sense of shame, few of them ever told their children about their tragic ordeal.Decade of Betrayal recounts the injustice and suffering endured by the Mexican community during the 1930s. It focuses on the experiences of individuals forced to undergo the tragic ordeal of betrayal, deprivation, and adjustment. This revised edition also addresses the inclusion of the event in the educational curriculum, the issuance of a formal apology, and the question of fiscal remuneration.Francisco Balderrama and Raymond Rodr�guez, the authors of Decade of Betrayal, the first expansive study of Mexican repatriation with perspectives from both sides of the border, claim that 1 million people of Mexican descent were driven from the United States during the 1930s due to raids, scare tactics, deportation, repatriation and public pressure. Of that conservative estimate, approximately 60 percent of those leaving were legal American citizens. Mexicans comprised nearly half of all those deported during the decade, although they made up less than 1 percent of the country's population. 'Americans, reeling from the economic disorientation of the depression, sought a convenient scapegoat, ' Balderrama and Rodr�guez wrote. 'They found it in the Mexican community.'--American History

Elements of Music: Concepts and Applications 2e is, in the author's own words, example intensive, immediately reinforcing theoretical concepts with musical examples. In addition, the book gives students a command of essential compositional and analytical skills - including a strong grounding in four-part writing - and an understanding of musical style through comprehensive analysis. Built-in pedagogical aids assist the student, while the extensive instructor's manual saves time for the teacher. The new second edition includes a greater emphasis on comprehensive analysis along with more thorough coverage of 4-part voice leading, harmony, large scale melodic and harmonic relationships, and 20th century music.
