Mexican Chicago’s Colonia Hull House
Tourists and Mexicanos alike could leave the Mexican community on the Near West Side of Chicago content that la colonia hull house had met their culinary and cultural expectations. Local migrant marketplaces created and recreated sights, sounds, and smells, as both cultural anchors for the community and tourist attractions for the visitor. This examination of the centrality of culturally distinct Mexican food, restaurants, and other food establis…
From South Texas to the Nation
From South Texas to the Nation scrutinizes the role of south Texas in the creation and maintenance of an “agro-empire” dependent on the exploitation of Mexican and Mexican American workers (p. 3).

For Mexicans in South Chicago during the Great Depression, baseball was much more than a way to cope while waiting for a job or relief. They may have been struggling to survive financially, but when they put on a uniform and competed against non-Mexican teams or Mexican teams from outside South Chicago, they contributed to their community by representing them and providing a welcome distraction from the realities of daily life. In addition to the…
