This book uses a micro-narrative structure to explore the assault
on the collective memory of Mexican Americans in the Southwest
United States from 2010-2016. These communities' survival depends
on their histories and identities, which are being quickly erased
by gentrification and dispersal, neoliberalism and privatization.
This issue is most apparent in the education system, where Mexican
American students receive inferior educations and lack access to
higher education. Avoiding the overly-theoretical macro-narrative,
this book uses case studies and micro-narratives to suggest
possible changes and actions to address this issue. It also
explores how the erasure of Mexican Americans' history and identity
mirrors society as a whole.
