Cinco de Mayo

Cinco De Mayo commemorates a pivotal moment in Mexico's history. Yet, it has become more of an American holiday than a Mexican one.

"We need to understand what Cinco de Mayo means to our community, and convey that to younger generations, because it is about strength and solidarity." They love Mexican food, they love like the Mexican culture, they love the drinks, the food, the music, everything about it and they just like want a day to be able to have fun with it," Lopez said. "There is this very subversive element to Cinco de Mayo, and that is one of anti-colonialism, anti-imperialism, self-determination and autonomy of Mexican peoples. He views it as a "two-way sword," in that commercialization does take away from Cinco De Mayo, but there's a push to educate people on the holiday's meaning. Meanwhile, there are Cinco De Mayo celebrations throughout Mexico, notably in the city of Puebla, where the battle took place. With family from Tijuana and Enscenada, she added people celebrate because it's a day to celebrate Mexican traditions. That does overshadow, in a way, the people's memory of what Cinco De Mayo represents. However, the people's memory of Cinco de Mayo does survive," Irene Vásquez, department chair of Chicano and Chicana Studies at the University of New Mexico, told USA TODAY. "It becomes a Chicano holiday, in many ways, linked to the Chicano movement, because we discover Mexicans resisting a foreign invader," García said. What started as marketing from beer companies is now a day to get deals on all Mexican products. But many Hispanics and Chicanx people see problems in celebrations. "I just feel like it's Americans that don't want to admit they love Mexican stuff.

En esta celebración de la herencia mexicana en Estados Unidos no todo es cerveza, tacos y fiesta. Aquí hay algunas claves de esta fecha.

El cinco de mayo siguió celebrándose en Estados Unidos, en gran medida gracias a los esfuerzos de las personas de ascendencia mexicana. Muchos activistas mexicoamericanos señalaron el cinco de mayo como una fuente de orgullo, dijo Lavariega Monforti. Estos esfuerzos son más visibles en ciudades más grandes como Los Ángeles, San Francisco y Chicago, donde los eventos están enfocados en celebrar la danza, literatura y comida poblanas.

La historiadora Blanca Arroyo nos narra cómo llegó a ser este día festivo tan celebrado en nuestra comunidad.

Ya que se ha vuelto un festejo totalmente comercial y muchos ni saben que se está celebrando y por qué y, me refiero tanto las personas de origen mexicano como a los anglosajones. Después de la Independencia de España, México se encontraba política, social y económicamente inestable. Esta celebración es tan importante que opaca incluso el día de la Independencia de México, el 15 de septiembre y de la Revolución Mexicana el 20 de noviembre. La historia detrás de la celebración del 5 de mayo en USA… En 1846 Estados Unidos inicia una guerra intervencionista (ya estaba tomada la capital mexicana, la frontera norte y los puertos mexicanos), que termino en 1848, con la derrota de México y la firma del “Tratado de Guadalupe”, que estipulada la adhesión por 100 años y un pago de 15 millones de dólares de grandes territorios mexicanos: California (último bastión en anexarse), Nuevo México, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, Utah y, partes de Colorado y Wyoming y, la frontera quedaría marcada por el Río Grande, Río Bravo o Río Gila, para los mexicanos. Mientras, que el emperador del segundo imperio francés Napoleón Bonaparte III, no acepta y decide invadir por segunda vez la República Mexicana el día 27 de mayo de 1862, iniciando en el poblado de Acutzingo, en el estado de Veracruz.

What remained was an Anglicized, corporate shell of an event that was once a vehicle through which the Mexican American community could celebrate the triumphs of both its cultural homeland and its newly adopted one. The Mexican American community of Philadelphia provides yet another example of the holiday’s continued evolution in the United States. The radical politics of the 1960s and ’70s gave way to a more moderate and accommodationist politics — the “Hispanic” age had arrived. After many years of being boycotted, the Coors Brewing Co. wanted “to improve its image among Chicano activists” and became “the largest supporter of the Cinco de Mayo as a holiday event,” according to a history by Antonio Sanchez of Central Washington University. Just like the poor and ill-equipped makeshift Mexican army that defeated a global superpower against all odds, Chicanos also viewed themselves as “underdogs” in the fight for equality and justice. Mexico had abolished slavery after its 1821 independence, so the Mexican residents of California tended to reject the idea of living in a slave society. Celebrations would continue throughout the remainder of the French occupation and beyond. In the meantime, in late 1861, under Napoleon III, France invaded Mexico with the pretense of collecting a debt. The CSA had its eyes set on the West and even Mexico, sparking fear for people living in free-soil Western territories. It occupied territory stretching from its current southern boundaries up to the modern U.S. states of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. Even though Texas fought its own war of independence, it gets included in the discussion as well. One way those who stayed coped with the changes was to form organizations, such as the “juntas patrioticas Mejicanas” (Mexican patriotic assemblies), throughout the American Southwest. As the Mexican American scholar David Hayes-Bautista has shown, California boasted at least 129 juntas patrioticas Mejicanas by the 1860s. Cinco de Mayo may be best known as an overly commercial holiday, stripped of meaning and reliant on stereotypes about Mexico, at least for the majority of Americans toasting with margaritas.

La celebración del Cinco de Mayo en Estados Unidos tiene su raíz histórica en la lucha...

Los mexicanos junto con los latinos, ni duda cabe, son ya un factor muy importante para el crecimiento de la economía de Estados Unidos; conforman un gigantesco mercado interno; son la etnia más emprendedora; están en edad productiva y tienen una enorme capacidad de compra. A diferencia de los blancos que son mayoría, los latinos tienen un menor promedio de edad, por lo cual están siendo uno de los motores de la recuperación de la economía de Estados Unidos ahora que la pandemia del COVID-19 empieza a perder fuerza. Mediante el patrocinio de la celebración de sus fiestas patrias y en particular con la celebración del Cinco de Mayo, esas empresas consolidaron su presencia en el creciente mercado mexicano. Los mexicanos representan el 64% del mercado latino. Con el tiempo y la migración de alrededor de 15 millones de mexicanos a Estados Unidos, el Cinco de Mayo se convirtió en la marca mexicana más conocida en este país. Ese factor fue utilizado desde fines de los ochenta para el marketing en el mercado mexicano del vecino del norte.
