概要

In this episode, we will discuss key contradictions in California community college’s history, during the periods of 1920 through 1955. Starting with a focus on the countercyclical relationship between The Great Depression in the 1930’s and the boost on enrollment this period generated for junior colleges across the United States, we will argue that the main stock story of this period is told through a white racial frame, erasing challenging experiences faced by Mexican and Mexican American communities. We will offer a counterstory that highlights the scapegoating and mass “repatriation” (deportation) of Mexican and Mexican-American workers and communities during this period, while also honoring the courage and tenacity of Mexican and Mexican American communities exemplified in two key court cases that we argue must be understood as precursors to the landmark Supreme Court decision in Brown v Board of Education.

Hosts: Lawson Hardrick Cervantes and Julio Soto
