Description

This book paints a vivid picture of the lives and legacies of Latinos in Boulder County between 1900 and 1980. An unusually rich collection of 1600 primary sources assembled by the Boulder County Latino History Project, including interviews, family biographies, photos, and other personal sources, enables this study to examine such topics as Latino families, the housing in which many Latinos lived and the urban neighborhoods in which it was clustered, the cultural importance of food, and how health care was provided. Additionally, social life, entertainment, and sports, are discussed, as well as religious activities. Lastly, education is examined, highlighting the discrimination children faced at school. The human experiences of local Latinos and their families are presented, often in their own words and through the photos they have preserved, offering interesting comparisons with Latinos living closer to the core of the Southwest borderlands or in the barrios of major cities. A captivating epilogue jumps 30 years forward to the experiences of the ten young Latino interns who worked with the BCLHP, who offer moving stories either as undocumented immigrants themselves or as the children of undocumented parents.This study is ideally suited for use in school or college classes. Nearly all of the primary sources are available online and hundreds of URLs are provided, allowing students to view the raw material that underlies the historical account. A special section of the BCLHP's website (bocolatinohistory.colorado.edu) is for educators, containing Primary Source Sets, Lesson Plans, short clips from interviews and films, and other instructional materials. The quantitative appendices are useful teaching tools, as are the unique interactive, computer-based maps, one for each of the three towns in every decade between 1926 and 1975. Prepared by the BCLHP, they display the location of households headed by people with Latino surnames, allowing us to study changes in housing patterns and neighborhoods over time.
