They joined a small but established Spanish-speaking community of people from Texas, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. Delia FernaÌndez-Jones merges storytelling with historical analysis to recapture the placemaking practices that these Mexicans, Tejanos, and Puerto Ricans used to create a new home for themselves. Faced with entrenched white racism and hostility, Latinos of different backgrounds formed powerful relationships to better secure material needs like houses and jobs and to recreate community cultural practices. Their pan-Latino solidarity crossed ethnic and racial boundaries and shaped activist efforts that emphasized working within the system to advocate for social change. In time, this interethnic Latino alliance exploited cracks in both overt and structural racism and attracted white and Black partners to fight for equality in social welfare programs, policing, and education. Groundbreaking and revelatory, Making the MexiRican City details how disparate Latino communities came together to respond to social, racial, and economic challenges"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Hispanic Americans $z Grand Rapids $z Grand Rapids $x History. 650 0 $a Hispanic Americans $z Grand Rapids $z Grand Rapids $x Politics and government. 650 0 $a Mexican Americans $z Grand Rapids $z Grand Rapids $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Puerto Ricans $z Grand Rapids $z Grand Rapids $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z Grand Rapids $z Grand Rapids $x Social conditions. 651 0 $a Grand Rapids (Mich.) $x Ethnic relations. 651 0 $a Grand Rapids (Mich.) $x Race relations. 650 6 $a AmeÌricains d'origine latino-ameÌricaine $z Grand Rapids $z Grand Rapids $x Histoire. 650 6 $a AmeÌricains d'origine mexicaine $z Grand Rapids $z Grand Rapids $x Conditions sociales. 650 6 $a Portoricains $z Grand Rapids $z Grand Rapids $x Conditions sociales. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / American / Hispanic American Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / State & Local / Midwest (IA, IL, IN, KS, MI, MN, MO, ND, NE, OH, SD, WI) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Ethnic relations $2 fast 650 7 $a Hispanic Americans $2 fast 650 7 $a Hispanic Americans $x Politics and government $2 fast 650 7 $a Immigrants $x Social conditions $2 fast 650 7 $a Mexican Americans $x Social conditions $2 fast 650 7 $a Puerto Ricans $x Social conditions $2 fast 650 7 $a Race relations $2 fast 651 7 $a Michigan $z Grand Rapids $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Fernandez-Jones, Delia, 1987- $t Making the MexiRican city $d Urbana : University of Illinois Press, 2023 $z 9780252053993 $w (DLC) 2022032890 830 0 $a Latinos in Chicago and the Midwest. 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240201010304.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=963ED426C0CF11EE81BF3A115DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
