Lilia Fernández reveals how the two populations arrived in Chicago in the midst of tremendous social and economic change and, in spite of declining industrial employment and massive urban renewal projects, managed to carve out a geographic and racial place in one of America's great cities. Through their experiences in the city's central neighborhoods over the course of these three decades, Fernández demonstrates how Mexicans and Puerto Ricans collectively articulated a distinct racial position in Chicago, one that was flexible and fluid, neither black nor white.Historical Studies of Urban AmericaMexicansIllinoisChicagoHistory20th centuryMexican AmericansIllinoisChicagoHistory20th centuryPuerto RicansIllinoisChicagoHistory20th centuryHispanic American neighborhoodsIllinoisChicagoHistory20th centuryNear West Side (Chicago, Ill.)History20th centuryPilsen (Chicago, Ill.)History20th centuryElectronic books.MexicansHistoryMexican AmericansHistoryPuerto RicansHistoryHispanic American neighborhoodsHistory305.89/6872077311Fernandez Lilia899161MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462507903321Brown in the Windy City2008836UNINA
