Working through key historical moments such as the 1930's, the Chicano Movement, and contemporary globalization and neoliberalism, Alicia Schmidt Camacho examines the relationship between ethnic Mexican expressive culture and the practices sustaining migrant social movements. Combining sustained historical engagement with theoretical inquiries, she addresses how struggles for racial and gender equity, cross-border unity, and economic justice have defined the Mexican presence in the United States since 1910.Schmidt Camacho covers a range of archives and sources, including migrant testimonials and songs, Amrico Parede?s last published novel, The Shadow, the film Salt of the Earth, the foundational manifestos of El Movimiento, Richard Rodriguez?s memoirs, narratives by Marisela Norte and Rosario Sanmiguel, and testimonios of Mexican women workers and human rights activists, as well as significant ethnographic research. Throughout, she demonstrates how Mexicans and Mexican Americans imagined their communal ties across the border, and used those bonds to contest their noncitizen status. Migrant Imaginaries places migrants at the center of the hemisphere?s most pressing concerns, contending that border crossers have long been vital to social change. 410 0$aNation of newcomers. 606 $aMexican Americans$zMexican-American Border Region$xPolitics and government$y20th century 606 $aMexicans$zMexican-American Border Region$xPolitics and government$y20th century 607 $aMexican-American Border Region$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xPolitics and government 615 0$aMexicans$xPolitics and government 676 $a304.8/7210730904 676 $a325 700 $aSchmidt Camacho$b Alicia R$01040169 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454872103321 996 $aMigrant imaginaries$92462820 997 $aUNINA
