The Architects of Hate
Drawing on the personal correspondence exchanged between Garrett Hardin and Cordelia S. May, leading advocates of population control, environmentalism, and immigration restriction, from the beginning of their friendship in the 1970s to the end of their lives in the early 2000s, this essay explores the closely guarded inner workings and behind-the-scenes efforts they took to realize their hardline xenophobic, eugenicist, and racist vision for a su…
From "Tough Love" to "Street Fight
This essay draws on epistolary documentation, conference proceedings, and U.S. government reports to analyze the correspondence of right-wing "conservative" activists Garrett Hardin and Cordelia S. May, focusing on their obsession with population control and eugenic principles as solutions to the growing ecological disasters of the 1960s through the early 2000s. These individuals engaged in negotiations and made decisions that helped shape public…
Gender and Intimacy across the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands
This special issue of Pacific Historical Review, “Gender and Intimacy across the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands,” is guest edited by Miroslava Chávez-García and Verónica Castillo-Muñoz. The articles in the collection reflect the primacy of gender and intimacy as tools of analysis in recovering the experiences of women of Spanish-Mexican and Mexican origin in the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century borderlands. As the authors demonstrate, using gende…
Tera Eva Agyepong. The Criminalization of Black Children
Migrant Longing
Drawing upon a personal collection of more than 300 letters exchanged between her parents and other family members across the U.S.-Mexico border, Miroslava Chávez-García recreates and gives meaning to the hope, fear, and longing migrants experienced in their everyday lives both "here" and "there" (aqui y alla). As private sources of communication hidden from public consumption and historical research, the letters provide a rare glimpse into the d…
Julia Grant. The Boy Problem
Julia Grant's The Boy Problem: Educating Boys in Urban America, 1870–1970 came at an opportune moment when I struggled to understand why my eight-year-old son had difficulties in his fourth-grade class. Unable to sit for extended periods and complete his assignments on time, my son interrupted his peers and his teacher. Rather than linking my son's problems to what Grant calls the current “moral panic” (p. 2) over bad boys of color, I learned tha…
Chicano/a History
This article surveys the writing of Chicano/a history since its inception and reflects on why scholars have been concerned with certain issues and how they have written about them. Born from the tumult of the Vietnam era, the field has challenged the status quo and emboldened those communities from which Chicano/a historians come and which they ultimately serve. Given the generation-long development of Mexican American history, this article focus…
The Interdisciplinary Project of Chicana History
Chicana history has come a long way since its inception in the 1960s and 1970s. While initially a neglected area of study limited to issues of labor and class, today scholars in history, literature, anthropology, and sociology, among others, study topics of gender, culture, and sexuality, as well as youth culture, reproductive rights, migration, and immigration. In the process, these scholars contribute to the collective project of Mexican and Me…
In Retrospect
In Retrospect:Anthony M. Platt’s The Child Savers: The Invention of Delinquency Miroslava Chávez-García (bio) Nearly forty years have lapsed since the publication of Anthony M. Platt's The Child Savers: The Invention of Delinquency (1969; 1977), a groundbreaking study critical of social reformers and the juvenile court of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In that time, the study of juvenile justice has evolved into a rich and div…
Intelligence Testing at Whittier School, 1890-1920
This article examines the intersections of youth, race, and science in early twentieth-century California. It explores how scientific researchers, reform school administrators, and social reformers at Whittier State School advocated the use of intelligence tests to determine the causes of delinquency. Through the process of testing, they identified a disproportionate number of delinquent boys of color-Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and African Amer…

Youth, Evidence, and Agency
Using case files of the Whittier State School, California's leading reform school in the early twentieth century, this essay examines the possibilities of gleaning the historical agency of Mexican and Mexican American youth who found themselves confined to an institution that granted them little, if any, decision-making power. As scholars have shown, escapes and attempted escapes from such institutions provide evidence of agency, that is, of real…
