Sample annotated bibliographic entry:
Carroll, Patrick J. Felix Longoria’s Wake: Bereavement, Racism and the Rise of Mexican American Activism, Austin: University of Texas Press, 2003
In Felix Longoria’s Wake, Carroll analyzes inequality in the schooling of Mexican Americans in South Texas. My topic is the way in which Latinos experienced segregation in schools in New Mexico before 1960. I hope Carroll’s analysis will help me to analyze how segregation worked in Texas in comparison.
