Citations and Bibliography
Citation of sources is what we put in the text, and usually looks like this in APA
Takaki says that quote (year, p. ). Quotes need page numbers
We know that quote (Takaki, year, p. ). Put the name of the author in parenthesis when you did not use it in the sentence leading up to the quote)
Takaki (year) generally agrees with Anzaldua (year) in that they both mention the way second generation immigrants (no quote, just summary) The film The Fights in the Fields (1997) documented that .. (If you dont have the year and source of documentaries, you can usually find it on the internet by searching for the title)In discussion of this topic in the class Ethnic Studies I (personal conversation, 2014) I learned that. (you do not put personal conversations in the Bibliography)
Even the Salinas police department refer to the multicultural history of Salinas (http://www.salinaspd.com/community (Links to an external site.)). The website says: This has been the home of Esselen and Ohlone Indians, Spanish missionaries and ranchers, American frontier people, and immigrants from Latin America, Japan, the Philippines, Switzerland the world over. It was the birthplace of John Steinbeck, who set his novels East of Eden and Of Mice and Men in the Salinas Valley. In the early 20th Century, an agricultural Green Gold Rush made Salinas for a time one of the wealthiest cities per capita in the United States, and the area became known as the Salad Bowl of the World.” It also became a refuge for farmers fleeing the Dust Bowl, and later saw Cesar Chavez lead farmworkers in building better lives.
Bibliography
The bibliography belongs after your last section of the paper (after Discussion). The bibliography looks something like this (note, there is a difference in how journals and books are referenced in the bibliography)
