Porous Borders
In Porous Borders Julian Lim explores how diversity at the U.S.-Mexico border in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries complicated notions of community and belonging. This ambitious project required Lim to illuminate the distinct experiences of multiple groups using tools from legal, labor, political, and cultural history. She draws archival materials from both sides of the border—including court records, official and personal corresp…
The Supreme Court under Earl Warren, 1953-1969
Some are Born White, Some Achieve Whiteness, and Some Have Whiteness Thrust upon Them
This paper examines the problem of the racial and ethnic classification of Mexican Americans, and later, Hispanics, in terms of both self-and official identification, during the quartercentury after Hernandez v. Texas.The Hernandez case was the landmark 1954 decision in which the U.S. Supreme Court condemned the "systematic exclusion of persons of Mexican descent" from state jury pools. 1 Instead of reviewing the judicial rulings in civil rights …

Tracking the Shifting Racial Identity of Mexican Americans
Ariela J. Gross is generous in praising research accomplished and helpful in suggesting routes for future investigation. In response to such a model of constructive criticism, I can only plead no contest to the main charge that, while examining changes in legal strategy and judicial rhetoric in school segregation litigation, I neglected to explore important aspects of Mexican Americans' own understanding and actual experiences of “other whiteness…
Brown over “Other White”
The landmark 1954 decision Brown v. Board of Education has shaped trial lawyers' approaches to litigating civil rights claims and law professors' approaches to teaching the law's powers and limitations. The court-ordered desegregation of the nation's schools, moreover, inspired subsequent lawsuits by African Americans aimed variously at ending racial distinctions in housing, employment, and voting rights. Litigation to enforce the Brown decision …
