Contrary to popular belief that the struggle for educational
opportunity during the civil rights era was waged exclusively by
African Americans, this fascinating book shows that the Mexican
American population challenged discriminatory educational practice
more than was portrayed by the media.
Examining the Mexican American struggle for equal education
during the 1960s and 1970s in the Southwest in general and in a
California community in particular, Donato challenges conventional
wisdom that Mexican Americans were passive victims, accepting their
educational fates. He looks at how Mexican American parents
confronted the relative tranquility of school governance, how
educators responded to increasing numbers of Mexican Americans in
schools, how school officials viewed problems faced by Mexican
American children, and why educators chose specific remedies.
Finally, he examines how federal, state, and local educational
policies corresponded with the desires of the Mexican American
community.
