History Forum: Banished Citizens with Marla A. Ramírez
11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
About This Event
From 1921 to 1944, approximately one million ethnic Mexicans living in the United States were removed across the border to Mexico. What officials called “repatriation” was in fact banishment: 60 percent of those expelled were US citizens, mainly working-class women and children whose husbands and fathers were Mexican immigrants. Join historian Marla A. Ramírez to learn the lasting effects of coerced mass removal on three generations of ethnic Mexicans.
A timely and wrenching account of expulsion and its afterlives, Banished Citizens illuminates the continuing social, legal, and economic consequences of a removal campaign still barely acknowledged on both sides of the border.
Biography:
Marla A. Ramírez is an associate professor of History and Chicanx/e & Latinx/e Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a historian of the US–Mexico borderlands. Her first book, Banished Citizens, won multiple awards, including Mary Nickliss Prize in US Women’s and Gender History and the Philip Taft Labor History Award. In addition to her teaching and research, Ramírez is also a co-founder of the Wisconsin Latinx History Collective at UW, aimed at documenting the history of Latinx/e communities in Wisconsin, in partnership with the Wisconsin Historical Society.
