Więcej o książce
The book explores the political dynamics of postwar Chicago, focusing on the intersection of race and immigration. It reveals how white flight was not only a response to black communities but also fueled by fears of Latinx populations, particularly Mexicans. The author argues that immigration policy played a crucial role in maintaining white dominance. As Mexicans and Mexican Americans gained political influence, their integration into the economy led to a shift toward social conservatism, aligning with white capitalist interests rather than outright assimilation into whiteness.
