The Bottom Rung
Author: Stewart Emory Tolnay
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 9780252067457
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Making revealing and innovative use of public records from the early part of the twentieth century, Stewart Tolnay challenges the widely held idea that black southern migrants to northern cities carried with them a dysfunctional family culture. He demonstrates the powerful impact of economic conditions on family life and views patterns of marriage and childbearing, not only among early twentieth-century farm families but also among contemporary urban families, as rational responses to prevailing social, economic, and political conditions.

Chicano Politics and Society in the Late Twentieth Century
Author: David Montejano
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292778635
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
The various protest movements that together constituted the Chicano Movement of the 1960s and 1970s urged a "politics of inclusion" to bring Mexican Americans into the mainstream of United States political and social life. This volume of ten specially commissioned essays assesses the post-movement years, asking "what went wrong? what went right? and where are we now?" Collectively, the essays offer a wide-ranging portrayal of the complex situation of Mexican Americans as the twenty-first century begins. The essays are grouped into community, institutional, and general studies, with an introduction by editor Montejano. Geographically, they point to the importance of "Hispanic" politics in the Southwest, as well as in Chicago wards and in the U.S. Congress, with ramifications in Mexico and Central America. Thematically, they discuss "non-traditional" politics stemming from gender identity, environmental issues, theatre production, labor organizing, university policymaking, along with the more traditional politics revolving around state and city government, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and various advocacy organizations.
