- W2000396772 abstract "setting: a graduate seminar in United States history where two students are debating the Eisenhower years. One student, citing rising income and consumer spending, argues that the Eisenhower era was a period of peace and prosperity, full employment, and suburban growth. opposing student notes the continuation of racial and gender discrimination, ongoing poverty, and the perils of McCarthyism. At one point the professor mentions that in 1954 the Immigration and Naturalization Service had deported over a million Mexicans. This fact stuns the students, provoking them to ask all sorts of questions about Operation Wetback. Faced with repeated experiences such as this, we found ourselves wondering what undergraduates are being told (or not told) in their textbooks about modern United States Latino history. So we have revisited eight national surveys, a sample drawn from the most popular and well-regarded recent texts. In doing so, our intent is not to heap praise upon the conscientious and shame upon the negligent, but to highlight certain conceptual categories useful for a comparative analysis of twentieth-century Latinos, an increasingly diverse and important segment of the American population. While one can readily bemoan the coverage of Latinos in current survey texts, it is important to remember that these overviews represent substantial improvements over the textbooks on the market just fifteen years ago. In 1985, for example, the sixth edition of the widely used volume National Experience covered all recent Latino history in only a few paragraphs. authors asserted baldly that Mexican Americans did not act as a conscious minority until after World War II and observed of Puerto Ricans, Unlike other Hispanics, they were American citizens. In a comment that now seems quaint at best, they continued, The brilliant musical show West Side Story (1957), adapting the Romeo and Juliet theme to 'rumbles' between Puerto Rican and white street gangs, won a sympathetic hearing for problems in the larger community. Such tokenism was typical for surveys before 1985, as was the brevity." @default.
