The articles from Bond and Mann show that what we learned in school previously might not be true anymore in present day. Edward Teach was known as a threatening man, far worse that he truly was.

Self-Determination In The Chicano Community

As noted in Rafael Perez-Torres’ discussion of the mythic Chicano homeland of Aztlan, it is important to “move toward a conceptual framework with which to explore the connections between land, identity, and experience” (Perez-Torres 150).
