robertogrecoSociologist Orrin E. Klapp suggested that the macho “national character” made Mexicans prone to embracing rash ideas like Communist revolution.
The first widely cited use of “machismo” in English comes from writing by white Los Angeles social worker Beatrice Griffith, who worked with Mexican American young people. In her 1948 book American Me, she expressed her worries about pachucos’ delinquency and violent tendencies.
Cowan writes that the word was adopted by US scholars following the early Cold War trend of studying “national characterology” in an attempt to extract insights useful for geopolitics. In the case of Mexico and other Latin American countries, they went into their studies looking for answers to what they perceived as the central problems of the region—poverty, overpopulation, and susceptibility to revolutionary communist ideology.
Numerous academic articles and books in this vein diagnosed Latin Americans with a pathological relationship to masculinity, often based only on perusal of Mexican literature and informal interviews with locals. In one such 1954 essay, anthropologist Gordon Hewes described “the Mexican” as characterized by “phallic obsession” and attributed Mexican alcoholism, poverty, and overpopulation to machismo. A decade later, sociologist Orrin E. Klapp suggested that the macho “national character” made Mexicans prone to embracing rash ideas like Communist revolution.
In the 1950s, sociologist J. Mayone Stycos studied the supposed overpopulation crisis in Puerto Rico and concluded that the trouble was men’s macho desire to father many children. However, his own surveys found that only 5.8 percent of Puerto Rican men viewed siring children as an element of machismo. In contrast, 14 percent said that machismo included civic virtue and hard work, and 18 percent said it required being honorable and trustworthy.
In the 1970s, Cowan writes, some scholars working in the growing fields of ethnic studies and feminist inquiry began to critique the way “machismo” was used to pathologize Chicanos and other Latin Americans.
But, by this time, the term had broken academic containment. A 1963 Time magazine story suggested that it was Fidel Castro’s “whiskery look of virility” and Cubans’ “compulsion to follow a macho leader” that allowed the communists to take power. Before long, crime dramas were identifying “machismo” as a pathology afflicting urban Chicano youth.
But soon, the word’s valence began to shift. A 1969 advertisement featuring a blond white man suggested that women buy a tie-dye-style polyester shirt “that’s strictly ‘machismo’” to “approve his swagger and pride.”"]]]>machismo latinamerica us 1940s 1950s 1960s benjamincowan masculinity 2017 media coldwar propaganda academia stereotypes mexico puertorico jmayonestycos orrinkalpp gordonhewes fidelcastro cubahttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:f816df97e5e8/California’s Public Universities Went All in on A.I.

robertogreco“places the dignity of work and of workers at the forefront of its reflection; affirms the right to a fair wage for oneself and one’s family; recognizes that persons have a fundamental value that takes precedence over capital and profit; defends private property along with its indispensable societal role; esteems workers’ associations; and proposes forms of cooperation between the different components of society as an alternative to the mentality of class struggle.”
Human dignity – the word “dignity” appears over one hundred times in this latest encyclical – is undermined by the ongoing exploitations of capitalism; and it is increasingly threatened by the acceleration of technologies, particularly “AI” which
“promises to boost productivity by taking over mundane tasks, [but] frequently forces workers to adapt to the speed and demands of machines, rather than machines being designed to support those who work. As a result, contrary to the advertised benefits of AI, current approaches to technology can paradoxically de-skill workers, subject them to automated surveillance and relegate them to rigid and repetitive tasks. The need to keep up with the pace of technology can erode workers’ sense of agency and stifle the innovative abilities they are expected to bring to their work.”
With a remarkable apology for the Church’s role in colonialism, the Pope links the violence of slavery and human trafficking in the past to the violence of slavery and human trafficking today and the threats of new forms of slavery in the future – “a decisive test for the ethical discernment of AI and digital transformation,” particularly as new technologies curb human freedoms, intellectually and bodily. “Without this ethical and humanizing reflection, the growing power of digital systems could lead us toward new atrocities that are no less shameful than those of the past that we now deplore, while we continue to present ourselves as ‘advanced’ and ‘civilized’ societies.”
To avoid this future – to avoid the reduction of everyone to objects, to eschew the tech industry’s valorization of efficiency and extraction, to end its demands to control all aspects of our lives – it is imperative that we build systems that are “centered on the human person and not solely on performance,” the Pope argues. He’s speaking here specifically of how we push back on automation and technology in the workplace, but I think this is absolutely relevant to education as well. Teachers’ working conditions are, as the union saying goes, students’ learning conditions; but I think we need to see students as doing work too – important intellectual work of their own, work that also matters for minds and souls and bodies and futures and freedom. Both teachers and students deserve dignity and care; both deserve systems that are human and humane; both deserve systems that are not mechanistic and exploitative as almost every single piece of education technology that’s flooded classrooms most certainly is.
And I’d add here too that students – children and adult students like – deserve systems that do not view them solely or even primarily as vulnerable and weaker beings in need of protection. When children are described as “precious treasure,” as the Magifica Humanitas does, it is too easy then to cast them as the objects of education and to deny their agency, their inquiry, their rights."]]>audreywatters ai artificialintelligence moralpanic edtech technology luddism neoluddism neoluddites luddites 2026 magnificahumanitas popeleoxiv popeleoxiii douglasadams panic catholicchurch catholicism slavery colonialism colonization rerumnovarum dignity humanism human humans humanity society work labor workers capitalism education teaching howweteach learning howwelearn schools schooling colleges universities highered highereducation academia agency humanrights automation humandignity encyclicals enslavementhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:adc0c3f703ec/Cal State’s War on Working-Class Education | AAUP2026-05-30T23:08:53+00:00

https://patrickfarenga.substack.com/p/learning-yes-of-course-education
robertogrecoIn 1982, a British interviewer asked John Holt how he defined the word “education.” He responded: “It’s not a word I personally use. … The word “education” is a word much used, and different people mean different things by it. But on the whole, it seems to me what most people mean by “education” has got some ideas built into it or contains certain assumptions, and one of them is that learning is an activity which is separate from the rest of life and done best of all when we are not doing anything else and best of all in places where nothing else is done–learning places, places especially constructed for learning. Another assumption is that education is a designed process in which some people do things to other people or get other people to do things which will presumably be for their own good. Education means that some A is doing something to somebody else B. I guess that, basically, is what most people understand education to be about” The interviewer pressed John further: “Very well, but what is your definition?” John replied: “I don’t know of any definition of it that would seem to me to be acceptable. I wrote a book called Instead of Education, and what I mean by this is instead of this designed process which is carried on in specially constructed places under various kinds of bribe and threat. I don’t know what single word I’d put [in its place]. I would talk about a process in which we become more informed, intelligent, curious, competent, skillful, aware by our interaction with the world around us, because of the mainstream of life, so to speak. In other words, I learn a great deal, but I do it in the process of living, working, playing, being with friends. There is no division in my life between learning, work, play, etc. These things are all one. I don’t have a word which I could easily put in the place of “education,” unless it might be “living.”3
Children and adults have lived and learned successfully in the flow of community and family life throughout human history without compulsory schooling. We know that people who are talented or knowledgeable can share their wisdom with others in a variety of settings, not just in special places reserved for professional teaching and learning. But our laws, customs, and mind sets have been directed away from our heritage of learning towards the regime of instruction.
John Holt’s book Instead of Education: Ways to Help People Do Things Better provides not just an analysis of the limits of schooling but also examples of other places, institutions, people, and experiences that exist or could be created for children and adults to learn and grow throughout their lives. What also makes this book interesting is how it ends with a call for people to take their children out of school and teach them in their homes and local communities if the schools are not helping their children. This statement led people from around the world who were already teaching their own children to contact John, and this became the impetus for him to found Growing Without Schooling magazine in 1977.
John was certainly influenced by Illich’s work and book Deschooling Society (Harper & Row, 1971) and he moved his own work from theory to practice when he founded Growing Without Schooling magazine in 1977. 49 years have passed since GWS was founded and homeschooling has grown from the 25,000 estimate John used in 1981 to an estimate of 3.5 million children taught at home in the United States in 2026.4 John hoped school, like a business seeing it’s sales decline, would alter its course and let families that want to use school on an as-needed basis to do so.
Holt wrote about children learning in their communities, in play, sports, projects, and theatrical efforts, from neighbors, friends, and family, and places like the Peckham Center in London—a combined medical research and health support program with a lively community center/cafeteria/gymnasium for working class adults and children. Rather than try to incorporate these and other ideas that expand what education can be, our government and school policymakers continue to double down on the existing structure: more tests, more instruction, and more after-school tutoring to make sure students stay focused on task.
One thing most school administrators and teachers agree upon is that children need more time in school, which became terribly clear during the pandemic. Few educators thought to provide children with social or learning opportunities outdoors during the pandemic, in a schoolyard or public park. Instead they decided to keep students glued to their computer screens while they were being marched through the school curriculum in their homes. This shows how devotion to theories of education subsume common sense about what engenders learning, self-esteem, and social activity, which are entwined.
I’m reminded about all this due to a provocative education policy paper I read in NORRAG, the Global Education Center of the Geneva Graduate Institute: Fighting Against Education: No Alternatives Within the Educated Mind. The authors are united as “Le Goliard: A collective, nomadic, de-professionalized intellectual who wanders erratically on the fringes of dominant certainties and institutions.” It is a strong polemic, as these quotes show:"]]>johnholt education learning howwelearn children society deschooling unschooling ivanillich 2026 plagiarism highered highereducation academia colleges universities schools schooling admission inequality deymoursarason change instruction pedagogy howweteach teaching bronsonalcott asneil mariamontessori rudolphsteiner aaronfalbel institutions adults life living community covid-19 coronavirus pandemic growingwithoutschooling play sports projects self-esteem social patfarenga gwshttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:616aa987c7a9/A Renaissance is Upon Us - Front Porch Republic2026-04-26T00:34:36+00:00
