The politics of racial difference amid the tumult of modern Mexican history<\/em><\/p>\n

From the late nineteenth century to the 1930s, antichinismo<\/em>–the politics of racism against Chinese Mexicans–found potent expression in Mexico<\/a>. Jason Oliver Chang delves into the untold story of how antichinismo<\/em> helped the revolutionary Mexican state, and the elite in control of it, build their nation.<\/p>\n

As Chang shows, anti-Chinese politics shared intimate bonds with a romantic ideology that surrounded the transformation of the mass indigenous peasantry into dignified mestizos<\/a>. Racializing a Chinese Other became instrumental in organizing the political power and resources for winning Mexico’s revolutionary war<\/a>, building state power, and seizing national hegemony in order to dominate the majority Indian population. By centering the Chinese in the drama of Mexican history, Chang opens up a fascinating untold story about the ways antichinismo<\/em> was embedded within Mexico’s revolutionary national state and its ideologies.<\/p>\n

Groundbreaking and boldly argued, Chino<\/em> is a first-of-its-kind look at the essential role the Chinese played in Mexican culture and politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
