The "Mexican Problem": Empire, Public Policy, and the Education of Mexican Immigrants, 1880-1930.
Gonzalez, Gilbert G.
Aztlan: A Journal of Chicano Studies, v26 n2 p199-207 Fall 2001
In the early 1900s, a central theme in many books and scholarly works about Mexico and Mexicans was the transnational "Mexican problem"--the innate political and cultural backwardness that prevented Mexico's development and modernization. These works greatly influenced both U.S. policy toward Mexico and educational policies aimed at segregating and Americanizing Mexican-origin students. (SV)
