Moving Beyond Borders examines the life and accomplishments of
Julian Samora, the first Mexican American sociologist in the United
States and the founding father of the discipline of Latino studies.
Detailing his distinguished career at the University of Notre Dame
from 1959 to 1984, the book documents the history of the Mexican
American Graduate Studies program that Samora established at Notre
Dame and traces his influence on the evolution of border studies,
Chicano studies, and Mexican American studies. Samora's
groundbreaking ideas opened the way for Latinos to understand and
study themselves intellectually and politically, to analyze the
complex relationships between Mexicans and Mexican Americans, to
study Mexican immigration, and to ready the United States for the
reality of Latinos as the fastest growing minority in the nation.
In addition to his scholarly and pedagogical impact, his leadership
in the struggle for civil rights was a testament to the power of
community action and perseverance. Focusing on Samora's teaching,
mentoring, research, and institution-building strategies, Moving
Beyond Borders explores the legacies, challenges, and future of
ethnic studies in United States higher education. Contributors are
