Professor De Len is careful to portray Tejanos as active subjects, not merely objects in the ongoing Texas story. Complemented by a stunning photographic essay, a helpful glossary, and meticulously annotated, this work continues to be ideal reading for anyone wanting to learn about the most influential ethnic group in Texas.

Through extensive use of Spanish-language archives in Mexico and the United States, Zamora examines workers' independent organizations - including mutual aid societies and cooperatives that functioned as unions - as well as spontaneous informal actions, including strikes, by Texas Mexican workers. He portrays the gradual yet increasing integration of those organizations into the mainstream labor movement and examines labor solidarity across ethnic lines. In addition, he discusses the special role Mexican labor played in bridging labor struggles across the international border and in challenging racial exclusion on the job in the predominantly Anglo labor federations and in the broader institutional life of South Texas.

What is the meaning of the Mexican-American's job displacement and participation in a training program? To answer this question, this study adopted hermeneutic phenomenology as a methodological approach. My intention was to search for deep meaning of job displacement followed by entering an educational program. Ten Mexican-American individuals who had been displaced from their job due to economic and trade reasons, and who later participated in a retraining program, were interviewed. Tentative themes were drawn from the analysis, and 15 thematic categories were confirmed after follow-up interviews. The themes were: Mexican-American Culture, Machismo, Self-determination, Resilience, Union Membership, Job Security, Have Someone Advocate for Their Rights, Job Displacement, Trade-related Closure, Breach of the Psychological Contract, Emotional Distress, Education and Retraining, Entrepreneurship and Problems with Workforce Benefits. The themes were expanded based on participants' words and then discussed through a post-analysis literature review. Recommendations were made to government and non-government organizations advocating for a potential change in policies. Recommendations were also provided to healthcare providers and to U.S. American workers. Finally, recommendations were made for future research.

The primary purpose of this study was to present the little-discussed Mexican and Mexican-American labor contribution to the economic development of the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas between 1870 and 1930. Special attention was given to their efforts in the citrus industry which became a major enterprise. Immigration laws, local and national Anglo attitudes and their effects on this numerous and apparently submissive people were discussed in length. Due credit has been given to the Burgos, Tamaulipas, residents who came to the Valley before, during, and after the Mexican Revolution in search of stability and better wages. In spite of the abuses they suffered some of them decided to stay. Their children (now Mexican-Americans), are still contributing to the citrus industry today, although not in the strenuous way their parents did. The various attempts which were made to develop the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas prior to the coming of the railroad in 1904 were all but futile. This situation, however, did not restrain Anglo businessmen from coming to the region in search of prosperity. They saw its potential if the available resources were properly tapped. The combination of inexpensive Valley land and cheap Mexican and Mexican-American labor attracted entrepreneurs to the area. They bought brushlands, had them cleared, and started irrigation projects in preparation for the crops they experimented with. Although not all Anglos prospered it was not because of the labor force they employed, but rather, to some extent, because of the poor transportation system available. They employed Mexicans and Mexican-Americans for all types of work. With the coming of modern transportation the Valley broke its economic isolation and in the process everyone benefited: Anglos from the use of cheap labor and Mexicans and Mexican-Americans from jobs which had previously been non-existent. The Valley owes a tremendous debt to those businessmen with foresight who encouraged the construction of a railroad line through the Valley and built irrigation systems, but the greatest debt for its success, as presented in this work, is owed to the Mexicans and Mexican-Americans.

In 1937, Mexican workers were among the strikers and supporters beaten, arrested, and murdered by Chicago policemen in the now infamous Republic Steel Mill Strike. Using this event as a springboard, Zaragosa Vargas embarks on the first full-scale history of the Mexican-American labor movement in twentieth-century America. Absorbing and meticulously researched, Labor Rights Are Civil Rightspaints a multifaceted portrait of the complexities and contours of the Mexican American struggle for equality from the 1930s to the postwar era. Drawing on extensive archival research, Vargas focuses on the large Mexican American communities in Texas, Colorado, and California. As he explains, the Great Depression heightened the struggles of Spanish speaking blue-collar workers, and employers began to define citizenship to exclude Mexicans from political rights and erect barriers to resistance. Mexican Americans faced hostility and repatriation. The mounting strife resulted in strikes by Mexican fruit and vegetable farmers. This collective action, combined with involvement in the Communist party, led Mexican workers to unionize. Vargas carefully illustrates how union mobilization in agriculture, tobacco, garment, and other industries became an important vehicle for achieving Mexican American labor and civil rights. He details how interracial unionism proved successful in cross-border alliances, in fighting discriminatory hiring practices, in building local unions, in mobilizing against fascism and in fighting brutal racism. No longer willing to accept their inferior status, a rising Mexican American grassroots movement would utilize direct action to achieve equality.
