She then illustrates their political struggles in the nineteenth century as they tried to assert their legal rights of citizenship and retain possession of their land, and goes on to explore their fight, in the twentieth century, against educational segregation, jury exclusion, and housing covenants. It was only in 1967, she shows, that the collective pressure placed on the state government by Mexican American and African American activists led to the beginning of desegregation. Menchaca concludes with a look at the crucial role that Mexican Americans have played in national politics, education, philanthropy, and culture, while acknowledging the important work remaining to be done in the struggle for equality"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Mexican Americans $x History. $z Texas $x History. 650 0 $a Mexican Americans $z Texas $x History. 830 0 $a Texas bookshelf 941 $a 1 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214043348.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=96EF1D289A4F11EE9D2109AF26ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IOWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
