Synopsis "Other American Dilemma, The: Schools, Mexicans, and the Nature of jim Crow, 1912–1953"
In The Other American Dilemma, Rubén Donato and Jarrod Hanson examine the experiences of Mexican immigrants, Mexican Americans, and Hispanos/as in their schools and communities between 1912 and 1953. Drawing from the Mexican Archives located in Mexico City and by venturing outside of the Southwest, their examinations of specific communities in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, and Texas shed new light on Mexicans social and educational experiences. Donato and Hanson maintain that Mexicanswhether recent immigrants, American citizens, or Hispanos/as with deep roots in the United Stateswere not seen as true Americans and were subject to unofficial school segregation and Jim Crow. The book highlights similarities and differences between how the Mexican-origin population was treated versus African Americans. Because of their mestizo heritage, the Mexican-origin population was seen as racially mixed and kept on the margins of community and school life by people in power.
