Kelly Lytle Hernandez: BAD MEXICANS: RACE, EMPIRE AND REVOLUTION IN THE BORDERLANDS - BOOK
LETTERS AND POLITICS$100.00 per monthThis gift has already been selected. Select again to add more.Quantity$100 donation. Bad Mexicans tells the dramatic story of the magonistas, the migrant rebels who sparked the 1910 Mexican Revolution from the United States. Led by a brilliant but ill-tempered radical named Ricardo Flores Mag?n, the magonistas were a motley band of journalists, miners, migrant workers, and more, who organized thousands of Mexican workers and American dissidents to their cause. Determined to oust Mexico?s dictator, Porfirio D?az, who encouraged the plunder of his country by U.S. imperialists such as Guggenheim and Rockefeller, the rebels had to outrun and outsmart the swarm of U. S. authorities vested in protecting the Diaz regime. Taking readers to the frontlines of the magonista uprising and the counterinsurgency campaign that failed to stop them, Kelly Lytle Hern?ndez puts the magonista revolt at the heart of U.S. history. Long ignored by textbooks, the magonistas threatened to undo the rise of Anglo-American power, on both sides of the border, and inspired a revolution that gave birth to the Mexican-American population, making the magonistas? story integral to modern American life. -

Eric Foner: THE SECOND FOUNDING: HOW THE CIVIL WAR AND RECONSTRUCTION REMADE THE CONSTITUTION - BOOK
LETTERS AND POLITICS$150.00 per monthThis gift has already been selected. Select again to add more.Quantity$150 donation. Eric Foner's compact, insightful history traces the arc of three pivotal amendments to the Constitution from their dramatic origins in pre?Civil War mass meetings of African-American 'colored citizens' and in Republican party politics to their virtual nullification in the late nineteenth century. A series of momentous decisions by the Supreme Court narrowed the rights guaranteed in the amendments, while the states actively undermined them. The Jim Crow system was the result. Again today there are serious political challenges to birthright citizenship, voting rights, due process, and equal protection of the law. Like all great works of history, this one informs our understanding of the present as well as the past: knowledge and vigilance are always necessary to secure our basic rights. -
