Discrimination against Mexican nationals and similar prejudices against Mexican Americans led the communities to seek help from Mexican consulates, which in most cases rose to their defense. Los Angeles's consulate was confronted with the country's largest concentration of Mexican Americans, for whom the consuls often assumed a position of community leadership. Whether helping the unemployed secure repatriation and relief or intervening in labor disputes, consuls uniquely adapted their roles in international diplomacy to the demands of local affairs.Monographs of the Association for Asian Studies ;no. 40.ACLS Humanities E-Book (Series)Mexican AmericansCaliforniaMalayaPolitics and governmentMexican Americans354.71008/92/0979494Balderrama Francisco E1004127American Council of Learned Societies.MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910367645603321In Defense of La Raza2438464UNINA
