CHAPTER 14 | SUMMARY!
Within this writing I reflect upon Chapter 14 from the book entitled: “EL NORTE.” The desire to conserve the cultural heritages of the Spanish-Mexican past are noted with the arts, film and progression of the Hollywood film industry that is known as the Mexican Golden Age of Cinema. Cultural preservation is intertwined with the establishment of unions, riots, protests and world war II. With notable individuals who led movements to improve Mexican-American relations.
