Rethinking Campus LifeThe Mexican American Movement

Rethinking Campus Life: The Mexican American Movement [This chapter examines how the creation of an organization of Mexican American college students in California in the 1930s and 1940s signified a fundamental departure from earlier years when few Mexican students enrolled in California colleges and universities. It details how these students used this organization to establish an identity and student culture on campus grounded in activism, empowerment, and education. And while the organization initially catered to young men, the movement grew to include women as well. This organization reflected the complexity of Mexican American identity during the immediate prewar period, brought students in California into contact with other college students, and represented the beginning of more active participation in California higher education among the youth of the Mexican American community.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter examines how the creation of an organization of Mexican American college students in California in the 1930s and 1940s signified a fundamental departure from earlier years when few Mexican students enrolled in California colleges and universities. It details how these students used this organization to establish an identity and student culture on campus grounded in activism, empowerment, and education. And while the organization initially catered to young men, the movement grew to include women as well. This organization reflected the complexity of Mexican American identity during the immediate prewar period, brought students in California into contact with other college students, and represented the beginning of more active participation in California higher education among the youth of the Mexican American community.]
