The Chinese in Mexico provides a social history of Chinese immigration to and settlement in Mexico in the context of the global Chinese diaspora of the era. 520 $a Romero's study is based on a wide array of Mexican and U.S. archival sources. It draws from such quantitative and qualitative sources as oral histories, census records, consular reports, INS interviews, and legal documents. Two sources, used for the first time in this kind of study, provide a comprehensive sociological and historical window into the lives of Chinese immigrants in Mexico during these years: the Chinese Exclusion Act case files of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service and the 1930 Mexican municipal census manuscripts. From these documents, Romero crafts a vividly personal and compelling story of individual lives caught in an extensive network of early transnationalism."--pub. desc. 650 0 $a Chinese $z Mexico $x History. 651 0 $a Mexico $x Race relations. 650 0 $a Race discrimination $z Mexico $x History. 651 0 $a Mexico $x Government policy. $x Government policy. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z Mexico $x History. 941 $a 1 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20140715011007.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0798BAF80D2011E2A71181E86AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
