Las pastorelas Una de las manifestaciones más bellas de la natividad del Niño Jesús es la pastorela. De acuerdo con Hijar Ornelas (2008) la pastorela “es una de las reliquias más genuinas del teatro popular” (p. 23).

Simply looking different made them perfect targets for stereotyping and discrimination. Henriquez included many examples but one that jumped out at me was on the bus to Christmas mass and the bus driver turned up the radio when Feliz Navidad came on. Just because Feliz Navidad is partially sang in Spanish the bus driver automatically assumed the Toro’s and the Rivera’s liked this song.
