Institutional records document the convergence of ableism and racism in Pacific Colony. Analyzing a vast archive, Natalie Lira reveals how political concerns over Mexican immigration (particularly ideas about the low intelligence, deviant sexuality, and inherent criminality of the 'Mexican race') shaped decisions regarding the treatment and reproductive future of Mexican-origin patients. This book documents the ways Mexican-origin people sought out creative ways to resist institutional control and offers insight into the ways race, disability, and social deviance have been called upon to justify the confinement and reproductive constraint of certain individuals in the name of public health and progress"-- $c Provided by the publisher. 610 20 $a Pacific Colony (Psychiatric hospital : Pomona, Calif.) 650 0 $a Involuntary sterilization $z California $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Developmentally disabled $x History $z California $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Mentally ill $x History $z California $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Eugenics $z California $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Reproductive rights $z California $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Mexican Americans $x History $z California $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Mexican American women $x History $z California $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Psychiatric hospitals $z California $x History $y 20th century. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lira, Natalie, 1986- $t Laboratory of deficiency $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2021] $z 9780520975965 $w (DLC) 2021016872 830 0 $a Reproductive justice ; $v 6. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230418012517.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=77ADFBC2DDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
