Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 2005.

This dissertation casts the Mexican-origin population in the United States as both a transborder society (an ethnic group divided by a political boundary) created in the aftermath of the U.S.-Mexican War in 1848 and as a diasporic community subject to continuous migrations across a political border. It argues that Mexican-origin people in Texas dealt with racial discrimination and poverty by developing of a transborder political culture between 1900 and 1950 influenced by ideas prevalent in the United States and Mexico, yet able to interpret transnational concepts in ways meaningful to local realities. By analyzing the strategies used by activists, this study excavates the ideologies of race, ethnicity, class, gender, and nation shaping and defining their world.

520 $a This dissertation casts the Mexican-origin population in the United States as both a transborder society (an ethnic group divided by a political boundary) created in the aftermath of the U.S.-Mexican War in 1848 and as a diasporic community subject to continuous migrations across a political border. It argues that Mexican-origin people in Texas dealt with racial discrimination and poverty by developing of a transborder political culture between 1900 and 1950 influenced by ideas prevalent in the United States and Mexico, yet able to interpret transnational concepts in ways meaningful to local realities. By analyzing the strategies used by activists, this study excavates the ideologies of race, ethnicity, class, gender, and nation shaping and defining their world.
520 $a Interwoven in this analysis are the stories of families such as the Idars and the Munguias and individuals such as Leonor Villegas de Magnon, Emma Tenayuca, Alice Dickerson Montemayor, and Alonso Perales who used a combination of maternalist, benevolent, cultural redemption, and reform strategies to combat racism and advance both civil and human rights. In understanding the evolution of the political culture they created, what emerges is an identity formation process marked by constant cultural negotiations.
520 $a This dissertation departs from historiography placing Mexican-origin people along a linear path from Mexican to American nationalism. Rather, it asserts that assimilation and transnationalism were not mutually exclusive and often coexisted. Even the American nationalist organization, LULAC, continued to use Mexico and Latin America for moral leverage by arguing during and after World War II that the rest of the Western Hemisphere would be watching the United States, defender of democracy abroad, as it dealt with the lack of democracy at home. Thus, although by this period there was a general shift toward Mexican Americanism, the political culture itself sanctioned fluid movement along a continuum able to accommodate both nationalist and transnationalist approaches in the struggle for rights.
