Led by three dedicated Mexican American lawyers, the case argued for recognition of Mexican Americans under the 14th Amendment as a class apart. Despite a distinct history and culture, Mexican Americans were considered white by law during this period, yet in reality they were subjected to prejudice and discrimination. This was reflected in Hern ndez's trial, in which none of the selected jurors were Mexican American. The concept of Latino identity began to shift as the demand for inclusion in the political and judicial system began.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50362438975761,"sku":"CIN0816527512G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0816527512.jpg?v=1763224897"},{"product_id":"viva-kennedy-book-ignacio-m-garcia-9780890969175","title":"Viva Kennedy","description":"For a few brief months during the presidential campaign of 1960, Mexican Americans caught a glimpse of their own Camelot in the promise of John F. Kennedy. Grassroots Viva Kennedy Clubs sprang up not only in the southwestern United States but also across California and the upper Midwest to help elect the young Catholic standard bearer. The leaders of the Viva Kennedy Clubs were confident and hopeful that their participation in American democracy would mark the beginning of the end of discrimination, violence, and poverty in the barrio. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough the dream of attaching their own Camelot to Kennedy's ultimately ended in disappointment, these participatory efforts contributed to an identity-building process for Mexican Americans that led to greater emphasis on Americanization for some and to the more radical rhetoric of the Chicano Movement for others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eViva Kennedy\u003c\/i\u003e, Ignacio M. Garcia surveys the background, development, and evolution of the Viva Kennedy Clubs and their post-election incarnation as PASO, the Political Association of Spanish-Speaking Organizations. He argues that patriotic fervor of the 1940s and postwar economic expansion spurred middle-class Mexican Americans to strive for full inclusion in American society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIronically, those involved in the Viva Kennedy movement showed their militancy in fighting discrimination even as they upheld America's conservative values. They believed that discrimination could be overcome through government actions that recognized their civil rights and through their own political participation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGarcia describes the post-election problems of the Viva Kennedy reformers, who first saw the Kennedy administration ignore its campaign promises to them and then encountered their own factional squabbles, chronic funding problems, and a growing unease among Anglo Americans wary of Mexican American political power. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on research and interviews with key leaders of the Viva Kennedy movement such as Ed Idar, Jr., Edward R. Roybal, and Albert Pena, Jr., this study unveils a portrait of a people in transition and provides a nuanced picture of twentieth-century Mexican American history.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50368248348945,"sku":"CIN0890969175G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0890969175.jpg?v=1763478509"},{"product_id":"chicanismo-book-ignacio-m-garcia-9780816517886","title":"Chicanismo","description":"During the 1960s and '70s, Mexican Americans began to agitate for social and political change.
