Drawing on extensive archival research, including the personal papers of Alonso S. Perales and Adela Sloss-Vento, No Mexicans, Women, or Dogs Allowed presents the history of LULAC in a new light, restoring its early twentieth-century context. Cynthia Orozco also provides evidence that perceptions of LULAC as a petite bourgeoisie, assimilationist, conservative, anti-Mexican, anti-working class organization belie the realities of the group's early activism. Supplemented by oral history, this sweeping study probes LULAC's predecessors, such as the Order Sons of America, blending historiography and cultural studies. Against a backdrop of the Mexican Revolution, World War I, gender discrimination, and racial segregation, No Mexicans, Women, or Dogs Allowed recasts LULAC at the forefront of civil rights movements in America.Mexican AmericansCivil rightsHistory20th centuryCivil rights movementsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryMexican AmericansCivil rightsTexasHistory20th centuryCivil rights movementsTexasHistory20th centuryMexican AmericansTexasSocial conditions20th centuryMexican American womenTexasSocial conditions20th centuryMexican AmericansCivil rightsHistoryCivil rights movementsHistoryMexican AmericansCivil rightsHistoryCivil rights movementsHistoryMexican AmericansSocial conditionsMexican American womenSocial conditions973/.0468720764Orozco Cynthia1648922MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910969359303321No Mexicans, women, or dogs allowed4363219UNINA
