Chicano History University of Illinois, Chicago This paper was presented as part of the "Towards a New Chicana/o History" Conference held by the Julian Samora Research Institute at Michigan State University. Before the 1960's little research had been done on the history
of Mexicans in the United States - or on any other aspect of
the Mexican experience. Few scholars had been trained; archives
were scanty and those that existed had not been catalogued; no
resources were available to support travel or other research
costs; and faculty positions for professors interested in studying
or teaching about Mexicans were rare. With the Chicano movement,
however, came a commitment on the part of young Chicanos to the
study of Mexican-Americans and the inclusion of them in curricula
across the spectrum of higher education, including history. Hardcopy Price: $0.00
