Retrieved on November 10, 2015.〕 ==Contents== Part one discusses the development of the Mexican-American community of Houston from 1900-1960.〔Shircliffe, p. 605.〕 This section discusses how Hispanic activists of the day sought to have Hispanics classified as White Americans.〔Shircliffe, p. 605-606.〕 Specifically chapter 1 discusses the Hispanic community prior to World War II, and chapter 2 discusses Mexican children in the schools and how they were affected by educational policies. Chapter 3 discusses efforts from Hispanic individuals to reform the school system.〔Rosales, p. 87.〕 Chapter 4 documents debates on how to reform the education system that took place within the Hispanic community.〔Rosales, p. 88.〕 Part two describes the campaign for the Hispanic community to be recognized as a non-white minority, rather than white, in regards to a Houston Independent School District (HISD) desegregation plan.〔Shircliffe, p. 606.〕 In its initial 1970 desegregation plan,〔Quiroz, p. 228.〕 HISD was trying to "desegregate" by mixing black and Mexican students together while not including Anglo Whites in the desegregation plan, and using the Mexican students' designation as "white" as a workaround.〔Alamillo, p. 220.〕 Mexicans responded by launching a strike, or ''huelga'', against HISD.〔 Part three goes into detail regarding movements to classify Mexican-Americans as being a part of the racial minority groups.〔 The book discusses the efforts of the Mexican American Educational Council (MAEC), an organization fighting HISD's original desegregation program, to be recognized by HISD and the court system.〔Alamillo, p. 221.〕 José M. Alamillo of Washington State University wrote that "()ne of the most important contributions" of this book was saying that men and women of varying social classes and ages were central to the Chicano movement, rather than Carlos Muñoz's statements saying that students were central to the movement.〔 Rodolfo Rosales of the University of Texas at San Antonio described chapters 5-7, which discuss the Mexican community's implementation of the school reform movement, as the "heart of the narrative".〔 ==Background== San Miguel previously wrote ''Let All of Them Take Heed": Mexican Americans and the Campaign for Educational Equality in Texas, 1910-1981'',〔 described by Thomas H. Kreneck of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi as "an important history of Mexican American educational reform in the Lone Star State".〔Kreneck, p. 704.〕 San Miguel used information from the Houston Metropolitan Research Center for this book.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brown, Not White」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
