Book Description:
|
In the 1960s, LULAC won protection for Mexican Americans from discrimination based on racial, cultural, and linguistic disadvantages. Here, Kaplowitz draws on primary sources to understand and explain the federal policy arena in which the identity issues and power politics of LULAC were played out. He also examines the internal tensions between LULAC members' ethnic allegiances and their identity as American citizens.
