By the turn of the century that was no longer true. In fact, Mexican Americans in Texas had effectively reached parity with their white counterparts in elected office. This book tells the story of this dramatic transition in Texas politics and seeks to explain it utilizing original archival research, hours of interviews with leading figures, and the collected letters of some of Texas' most important politicians and activists. The departure from a racially uniform political class in Texas to incorporate Mexican Americans was slow and difficult. Mexican Americans rarely won easy victories and the concessions they received were often yielded with reluctance. Threatened with racial tension, minority status and political exclusion, it is perhaps surprising that Mexican Americans were so successfully incorporated. I argue that their incorporation was the culmination of six interrelated political processes: the long history of political organization among Mexican Americans in Texas that had established an effective corps of leaders, an increasing proportion of the voting-age population, new Democratic Party policies developed to increase the representation of women and minorities, a reinvigorated Republican Party that absorbed conservative voters and weakened resistance to racial reform in the Democratic Party, the civil rights legislation of the 1960s, and finally, an alliance with Anglo liberals that facilitated the transition to a more representative two-party system in Texas"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aJack and Doris Smothers Series in Texas History, Life, and Culture 606 $aMexican Americans$zTexas$xPolitics and government 607 $aTexas$xPolitics and government$y1951- 615 0$aMexican Americans$xPolitics and government. 676 $a976.4/063 686 $aPOL020000$aSOC044000$2bisacsh 700 $aMarquez$b Benjamin$f1953-$01520429 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788923503321 996 $aDemocratizing Texas politics$93804664 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03903nam 2200625I 450 001 9910552758603321 005 20251221094410.0 010 $a9780472902606 010 $a0472902601 024 8 $ahttps://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.11747103 035 $a(CKB)5580000000286265 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6896492 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6896492 035 $a(ScCtBLL)f6a15980-e7d9-490e-a8c6-8e4ca2c6f356 035 $a(MiU)10.3998/mpub.11747103 035 $a(ODN)ODN0009815944 035 $a(oapen)doab78881 035 $a(EXLCZ)995580000000286265 100 $a20211022h20222022 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$a(Post-)colonial archipelagos $ecomparing the legacies of Spanish colonialism in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines / edited by Hans Ju?rgen Burchardt and Johanna Leinius 210 1$aAnn Arbor, Michigan :$cUniversity of Michigan Press,$d2022. 210 4$dİ2022 215 $a1 online resource (423 pages) 300 $aTitle from eBook information screen.. 311 08$a9780472133161 311 08$a0472133160 311 08$a9780472038848 311 08$a0472038842 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aPart 1.

The (Post-)Colonial Legacies of Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines: A Comparative View. 330 3 $aThe Puerto Rican debt crisis, the challenges of social, political, and economic transition in Cuba, and the populist politics of Duterte in the Philippines-these topics are typically seen as disparate experiences of social reality. Though these island territories were colonized by the same two colonial powers-by the Spanish Empire and, after 1898, by the United States-research in the fields of history and the social sciences rarely draws links between these three contexts. Located at the intersection of Postcolonial Studies, Latin American Studies, Caribbean Studies, and History, this interdisciplinary volume brings together scholars from the US, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Philippines to examine the colonial legacies of the three island nations of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. Instead of focusing on the legacies of US colonialism, the continuing legacies of Spanish colonialism are put center-stage. The analyses offered in the volume yield new and surprising insights into the study of colonial and postcolonial constellations that are of interest not only for experts, but also for readers interested in the social, political, economic, and cultural dynamics of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines during Spanish colonization and in the present. The empirical material profits from a rigorous and systematic analytical framework and is thus easily accessible for students, researchers, and the interested public alike. 517 3 $aPostcolonial archipelagos 607 $aSpain$xColonies$zAmerica 607 $aSpain$xColonies$zAsia 607 $aCuba$xColonization 607 $aPuerto Rico$xColonization 607 $aPhilippines$xColonization 607 $aCuba$xPolitics and government 607 $aPuerto Rico$xPolitics and government 607 $aPhilippines$xPolitics and government 676 $a325/.37094 686 $aHIS041010$aPOL000000$aPOL045000$2bisacsh 700 $aBurchardt$b Hans-Ju?rgen$00 701 $aLeinius$b Johanna$01214100 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910552758603321 996 $aPost-)colonial Archipelagos$92803852 997 $aUNINA
