This book offers a comprehensive social, labor, and cultural history of these workers and their descendants, using the Mexican barrio of \"San Pablo\" (St. Paul) Minnesota as a window on the region. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Through extensive archival research and numerous interviews, Dennis ValdÉs explores how Mexicans created ethnic spaces in Midwestern cities and how their lives and communities have changed over the course of the twentieth century. He examines the process of community building before World War II, the assimilation of Mexicans into the industrial working class after the war, the Chicano Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, and more recent changes resulting from industrial restructuring and unprecedented migration and population growth. Throughout, ValdÉs pays particular attention to Midwestern Mexicans' experiences of inequality and struggles against domination and compares them to Mexicans' experiences in other regions of the U.S. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 1: Mexican Inequality and the Midwest \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModeling Chicano Inequality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMexicans and Midwestern Geography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 2: Reckoning with Winter \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast of the Immigrants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUrban Farmworkers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganizing and the Community\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 3: Memory of Hunger \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Drive to Repatriate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Internal Colonia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgents of Americanization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 4: Good Solid Workers \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Urban Proletariat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDilemmas of Americanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDismantling the Barrio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 5: El Movimiento: Becoming a Little More Militant \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReconstructing a Barrio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEl Movimiento and the Community\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgency and Agencies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Struggle for Knowledge: Chicano Studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 6: Completing a Circle \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMigration and Settlement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChasing the Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMexican Menace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContradictions of Culture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetrospective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52530888016152,"sku":"9780292787445","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/barrios-nortenos-st-paul-and-midwestern-mexican-communities-in-the-twentieth-century-paperback-softback-9780292787445","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
