NAFTA: liberating the truth of "free" trade: NAFTA: Does Economic Aid Help or Hurt the Environment and People?
http://transnationalnafta.blogspot.com/2007/12/nafta-does-economic-aid-help-or-hurt.html
NAFTA: liberating the truth of "free" trade. Wednesday, December 5, 2007. NAFTA: Does Economic Aid Help or Hurt the Environment and People? México has only recently in the past two years began a review process for the waste and byproducts of many manufacturing plants along the border. Since before and during NAFTA, the government has allowed industry to regulate itself, and even it’s new regulatory scheme only scratches the surface of the level of regulation in the United States. In Reynosa, Tamaulipas t...

NAFTA: liberating the truth of "free" trade: NAFTA Superhighway
http://transnationalnafta.blogspot.com/2007/12/nafta-superhighway.html
NAFTA: liberating the truth of "free" trade. Saturday, December 1, 2007. I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD HOW TO POST A VIDEO! Essentially, for many Americans, it's one thing to read "Made in Mexico", but it becomes a much scarier reality for these American to see actual Mexicans drive in on Mexican trucks to exchange Mexican products (which are really American anyway, if we go back to the original investment.).

NAFTA: liberating the truth of "free" trade. Tuesday, November 27, 2007. Objectives of Transnational Feminist Analysis. The primary purpose of the analysis provided through this blog is to consider the relationship economic relationship between the United States and Mexico, and the effect that this relationship has on women living in both countries. The target population of women will be mexicanas who have worked in Mexican industry and have emigrated to the United States and worked there as well. A conv...

NAFTA: liberating the truth of "free" trade: From Babel: Crossing into Mexico
http://transnationalnafta.blogspot.com/2007/12/secondary-blog.html
NAFTA: liberating the truth of "free" trade. Monday, December 3, 2007. From Babel: Crossing into Mexico. There are two things that stand out in this clip. First, the ease of entry into México, which is not shared by those who enter into the United States, and second- and only for a moment- is a look into what a town that borders the United States looks like.

NAFTA: liberating the truth of "free" trade: US-Mexico Economic Realities of Both Sides
http://transnationalnafta.blogspot.com/2007/12/us-mexico-economic-realities-of-both.html
NAFTA: liberating the truth of "free" trade. Sunday, December 2, 2007. US-Mexico Economic Realities of Both Sides. As can be seen in the above graph, the greatest sector of industry is machinery, and most electronic-related economic sectors have become the heaviest interest in Mexican maquiladora industry. It is important to note that this is not exclusively around the border regions, although it is the primary area of study. Notice however, that textile industry has decreased substantially. If it's been...

NAFTA: liberating the truth of "free" trade: Agriculture and Rural Mexicans: Victims of NAFTA
http://transnationalnafta.blogspot.com/2007/12/agriculture-and-rural-mexicans-victims.html
NAFTA: liberating the truth of "free" trade. Thursday, December 6, 2007. Agriculture and Rural Mexicans: Victims of NAFTA. It is virtually impossible for Mexican corn to compete against American when the US federal government provides subsidies to American farmers that make it impossible for Mexican farmers to compete against. There has been 18-fold increase in the imports of corn from the United States into México from 1993 to 2000 (Cavanaugh and Anderson). And it just so happens that the World Bank and...

NAFTA: liberating the truth of "free" trade: Las Matanzas de Ciudad Juarez, Teoría y Aplicación
http://transnationalnafta.blogspot.com/2007/11/dafdfdf.html
NAFTA: liberating the truth of "free" trade. Tuesday, December 4, 2007. Las Matanzas de Ciudad Juarez, Teoría y Aplicación. In Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, where police have been complacent in investigating cases of missing persons, and city managers have publicly claimed that the missing women were likely prostitutes or runaways, the environment of non-enforcement almost seems to encourage predators to abuse women where an opportunity lies. I have mentioned this to very many Mexicans including family, frie...

NAFTA: liberating the truth of "free" trade: Sí se Puede : FAIR Trade Agreement!
http://transnationalnafta.blogspot.com/2007/12/s-se-puede-fair-trade-agreement.html
NAFTA: liberating the truth of "free" trade. Friday, December 7, 2007. Sí se Puede : FAIR Trade Agreement! It has been discussed openly that NAFTA has affected thousands of women in México. It has affected those who work in the maquiladoras as well as those who work in nearly any industry. And isn't that a wonderful capitalist illusion? But how likely is it that a fully-developed, fully-industrialized wealthy nation of the first world will trade fairly with a weaker nation? When México began tariff-free ...

The Transnational Lens: Blossoms of Fire: Gender and Cultural Essentialism
http://thetransnationallens.blogspot.com/2007/12/blossoms-of-fire-gender-and-cultural.html
Friday, December 7, 2007. Blossoms of Fire: Gender and Cultural Essentialism. It is funny to think about how a town in which equality and support among the sexes is the norm that the outside world would see it as a matriarchal town run by loose, evil women. Why can the world just accept a culture in which women are celebrated for their contributions and respected as an integral part in the family unit, not just a a breeder and nurturer, but also as a provider?

The Transnational Lens: Honorable Murders
http://thetransnationallens.blogspot.com/2007/12/honorable-murders.html
Thursday, December 6, 2007. Produced by Films for the Humanities and Sciences. Http:/ www.films.com/id/10757/Honorable Murder.html. I really enjoyed reading these two posts. It is interesting that both of these issues are represented as being "religious" but yet the Qur'an says nothing about it. Part of cultural relativism is to respect other cultures practices as if cultures are static and unmoving. But we can see in these two examples how religion is used erroneously to justify the actions. Http:/ www&...
