Milwaukee's small but vibrant Mexican and Mexican American
community of the 1920s grew over succeeding decades to incorporate
Mexican, Mexican American, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central American,
and Caribbean migration to the city. Drawing on years of interviews
and collaboration with interviewees, Theresa Delgadillo offers a
set of narratives that explore the fascinating family, community,
work, and career experiences of Milwaukee's Latinas during this
time of transformation. Through the stories of these women,
Delgadillo caringly provides access to a wide variety of Latina
experiences: early Mexican settlers entering careers as secretaries
and entrepreneurs; Salvadoran and Puerto Rican women who sought
educational opportunity in the U.S., sometimes in flight from
political conflicts; Mexican women becoming leather workers and
drill press operators; and second-generation Latinas entering the
professional classes. These women show how members of diverse
generations, ethnicities, and occupations embraced interethnic
collaboration and coalition but also negotiated ethnic and racial
discrimination, domestic violence, workplace hostilities, and
family separations. A one-of-a-kind collection, Latina Lives in
Milwaukee sheds light on the journeys undertaken then and now by
Latinas in the region, and lays the foundation for the further
study of the Latina experience in the Midwest. With contributions
from Ramona Arsiniega, Maria Monreal Cameron, Daisy Cubias, Elvira
Sandoval Denk, Rosemary Sandoval Le Moine, Antonia Morales, Carmen
Murguia, Gloria Sandoval Rozman, Margarita Sandoval Skare, Olga
Valcourt Schwartz, and Olivia Villarreal.
