Jimmy Patiño— author of Raza Sí, Migra No

HCC Mexican American & Latino Studies presents historian Jimmy Patiño, author of Raza Sí, Migra No. The lecture underscores the immigrant experience during the Chicano Movement.
A native of Houston, Texas, Mr. Patiño seeks to critically excavate, extrapolate and facilitate alternative imaginings of democratic practice among subaltern communities in the midst of global capitalism. Concentrating on Mexican-origin and broader Latino/a communities at the U.S. Mexico Border and in major U.S. urban settings, his work attempts to dialog about the ways that concepts of race, gender and nation create hegemonic class disparities AND formulate an array of identities that mobilize social movements and initiate class struggles on multiple fronts.
