Cultural Imperialism : the United States in Latin America or "The Velvet Boot of the Shameless Hussy"
(Grinnell College, 1975) Hixson, Carol G.; Casto, Jane; Halloran, Jude
Cultural imperialism is a vague, undefined term that has recently come into vogue, primarily in revolutionary circles. Despite the ambiguous, cliche quality of the phrase, it is of the upmost importance for understanding relations between developed and underdeveloped countries. One may take any aspect of this relationship, from the economic to the political, and correctly call it an example of cultural imperialism. All depend on the importation of foreign ideas, technology, and institutions from developed countries, with no thought for their appropriateness to the underdeveloped countries. This paper examines instances of cultural imperialism in Latin America.

Camilo Torres - Helder Camara
(Carol G. Hixson, 1975-04) Hixson, Carol G.
In February of 1966, Camilo Torres-Restrepo, the priest-turned guerilla, was killed during a clash with government troops in Santander Province in Colombia. The government secretly buried his body in an unmarked grave in an effort to prevent his elevation to the state of a martyr. In the face of riots, rallies, and promises of vengeance, coming primarily from students, the oligarchy outwardly lamented the loss of the sheep gone astray. "El Tiempo", one of the primary organs of the oligarchy, wrote, "Unfortunately his very vocation of service, which was generous and unselfish in him, carried him to extremes and led him first to separate from the priesthood and then to change his cassock for the clothes of a guerilla, in a country where today such activity lacks all justification and even all revolutionary significance." In that same year, in Colombia's mammoth neighbor to the east, Brazil, students were protesting the abolition of the direct vote for the upcoming presidential elections. Alarmed at the virulent manner in which the "revolutionary " government was repressing the protests, the Archbishop of Olinda and Recife, Dom Helder Camara, began establishing for himself the reputation of being the Red Archbishop by supporting the students and by expressing concern over "the violations against the living temple" (physical violence) perpetrated by the government. This paper examines the stories of these two priests-turned-revolutionaries.

Mexican Manuscripts Before the Conquest : A Study
(Carol G. Hixson, 1984-02-29) Hixson, Carol G.
On the eve of the Spanish conquest, complex societies that sought their legitimacy and identity in the past, and pursued the future through study of that past, dominated the area now known as Mexico. Written records were an important means of securing knowledge of the past and the surviving Mayan and Aztec manuscripts reveal their preoccupation with time and with their place in history. This paper, in seeking to demonstrate that the Mexican peoples were on the verge of developing a unified system of writing, and possibly some form of printing, will examine some of the salient features of those manuscripts and the societies that produced them.

Literacy Learning in Saskatchewan: A Review of Adult Literacy Programs (1989)
(Saskatchewan Instructional Development and Research Unit, Faculty of Education, University of Regina, 1990-06) Hindle, Judith K.; Saskatchewan Instructional Development and Research Unit
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The government has really done something this time. They've put their dollars in the right place. I mean, if you ask somebody at the university about that they'd probably say, 'Hey, why help them dummies, give us the money.' They're already smart. Try to get a few people kicking around who can't do it - give them help too. (Stan, a learner, age 45) GOAL OF THE EVALUATION To acquire information on the outcomes of the Saskatchewan Literacy Campaign for the purpose of assessing Campaign effectiveness to date and making decisions in the future. INTRODUCTION This is a report of a program evaluation project undertaken for the Saskatchewan Literacy Council during the 1987 to 1990 Saskatchewan Literacy Campaign. The evaluation encompassed 15 literacy programs which received developmental or supplemental funding from the Saskatchewan Literacy Council in 1988 and 1989. The evaluation was conducted over the 12-month period December 2, 1988, to December 2, 1989, by the Saskatchewan Instructional Development and Research Unit (SIDRU) at the University of Regina. Funding for the project was received through Saskatchewan Education, from the National Literacy Secretariat of the Government of Canada, through Saskatchewan Education, as part of the National Literacy Campaign.
