The Mexican Revolution in Chicago: A Selected Bibliography
The Mexican Revolution in Chicago reveals the ways Mexican immigrants created transnational political movements to improve their lives on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. Through a careful, detailed study of Chicagoland Flores examines how competing immigrant organizations raised funds, joined labor unions and churches, engaged the Spanish-language media, and appealed in their own ways to the dignity and unity of other Mexicans. Painting portraits of liberals and radicals, who drew support from the Mexican government, and conservatives, who found a homegrown American ally in the Roman Catholic Church, Flores recovers a complex and little-known political world shaped by events south of the U.S border. John H. Flores will discuss The Mexican Revolution in Chicago on Thursday 06/18 at 6pm.
