520 Throughout much of the twentieth century, Mexican
Americans experienced segregation in many areas of public
life, but the structure of Mexican segregation differed
from the strict racial divides of the Jim Crow South.
Factors such as higher socioeconomic status, lighter skin
color, and Anglo cultural fluency allowed some Mexican
Americans to gain limited access to the Anglo power
structure. Paradoxically, however, this partial
assimilation made full desegregation more difficult for
the rest of the Mexican American community, which
continued to experience informal segregation long after
federal and state laws officially ended the practice. In
this historical ethnography, Jennifer R. Njera offers a
layered rendering and analysis of Mexican segregation in a
South Texas community in the first half of the twentieth
century. Using oral histories and local archives, she
brings to life Mexican origin peoples' experiences with
segregation. Through their stories and supporting
documentary evidence, Njera shows how the ambiguous racial
status of Mexican origin people allowed some of them to be
exceptions to the rule of Anglo racial dominance. She
demonstrates that while such exceptionality might suggest
the permeability of the color line, in fact the selective
and limited incorporation of Mexicans into Anglo society
actually reinforced segregation by creating an illusion
that the community had been integrated and no further
changes were needed. Njera also reveals how the actions of
everyday people ultimately challenged racial/racist
ideologies and created meaningful spaces for Mexicans in
spheres historically dominated by Anglos.
