This essay addresses the question of the Mexicanness of Chicanos in the U.S. and, relatedly, that of Mexicans living in the Border regions of North Mexico. Contrasting views have been expressed by Mexican and Chicano scholars alike on a question which is still controversial. In this paper, the phenomenon, real, symbolic or imagined, is more specifically studied through a close examination of the way Chicanos celebrate Mexican festivities, and more generally the values that pass through the border.
