Karin Alejandra Rosemblatt. The Science and Politics of Race in Mexico and the United States, 1910–1950
Karin Alejandra Rosemblatt, in The Science and Politics of Race in Mexico and the United States, 1910–1950, explores the circulation of scientific thinking within the academic networks of Mexican and U.S. scholars. The fundamental argument is that American racial theories influenced Mexican scholars to develop eugenics and cultural-evolutionary theoretical frameworks, which in the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution were transformed into governme…
The Return of Comrade Ricardo Flores Magón by Claudio Lomnitz
The Return of Comrade Ricardo Flores Magón by Claudio Lomnitz examines the political activities of exiled Mexican refugees, who, while living in the United States during the early 20th century, formed a political junta and launched a powerful media campaign against government corruption in Mexico. What distinguishes this text from other interpretations of the Mexican Revolution is its detailed and dramatic narration of the social injustices Ricar…
Naturalizing Mexican Immigrants
During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a majority of the Mexican immigrant population in the United States resided in Texas, making the state a flashpoint in debates over whether to deny naturalization rights. As Texas federal courts grappled with the issue, policies pertaining to Mexican immigrants came to reflect evolving political ideologies on both sides of the border. Drawing on unprecedented historical analysis of state archiv…
The Anti-Miscegenation History of the American Southwest, 1837 To 1970
This article proposes that a historical analysis of court cases and state statutes can be used to illustrate how racist ideologies were transformed into practice and used to legalize racism. To exemplify this argument, marriage prohibition laws in the United States Southwest from 1837 to 1970 are examined. This analysis demonstrates that African Americans and Anglo Americans were not the only groups affected by anti-miscegenation legislation. Mex…

Recovering History, Constructing Race
The history of Mexican Americans is a history of the intermingling of races—Indian, White, and Black. This racial history underlies a legacy of racial discrimination against Mexican Americans and their Mexican ancestors that stretches from the Spanish conquest to current battles over ending affirmative action and other assistance programs for ethnic minorities. Asserting the centrality of race in Mexican American history, Martha Menchaca here off…

Chicano Indianism
This article offers a historical analysis of the racial repression experienced by people of Mexican origin in the U.S. legal system from 1848 to 1947. Using records of court cases and citizenship legislation, it demonstrates that from the 19th to the mid-20th century federal and state racial laws accorded particular legal statuses to Mexicans on the basis of their racial appearance, and it concludes that Mexicans of predominantly Indian descent w…
Anglo-Saxon Ideologies in the 1920s-1930s
This study contends that a great deal of the current school segregation of Chicano students in public elementary and secondary schools in California has its origins in racial ideologies of Anglo-Saxon superiority and their subsequent impact on government policies. Using an ethnohistory case study approach (Santa Paula, California), the study sheds light on the Anglo domination and control thesis. A historical review of the ideologies of Anglo-Sax…
