Sending States’ Transnational Interventions In Politics, Culture, And Economics: The Historical Example Of Italy, Mark I. Choate

Faculty Publications

This article uses archival evidence to study in depth the historical policies of Italy, as a classic sending state. Most of the mass migrations of a century ago came from multinational empires, but Italy was a recently formed independent state. Ambitious to benefit from emigration while assisting and protecting emigrants, Italy reached out to “Italians abroad” in several ways. For example, the state opened a low‐cost channel for remittances through a non‐profit bank; promoted Italian language education among Italian families abroad; supported Italian Chambers of Commerce Abroad; and subsidized religious missionary work among emigrants. Italy’s historical example of political innovation …

Review Of Corridos In Migrant Memory, Jose A. P. Alaniz

History Faculty Publications

As a Mexican American academic, I found that this study hits home. Professor Chew Sanchez's book deals with the power and influence that traditional Mexican ballads known as corridos have on Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and specifically, Mexican immigrants in the United States. The aim of the author is to examine the role of corridos in shaping the cultural memories and identities of transnational Mexican groups, focusing on transnational communities from northern Chihuahua dirough northern Texas and New Mexico.

We Are Not Tijuana: The Valley Protests Washington's Crackdown On Gambling, Robin Robinson

History Faculty Publications

During Prohibition, the US Treasury Department limited the number of hours that international bridges spanning the Rio Grande River were open in an attempt to control such illegal activities as gambling. Brownsville, Texas, typically received an exemption for the bridge between Brownsville and Matamoros, Mexico, by arguing that Matamoros lacked the vice problems that had prompted the border restrictions elsewhere. The article discusses actions taken when, in August 1931, Brownsville was not exempted.

The United States Military Occupation Of Matamoros, Mexico, 1846 - 1848, James Mills

History Faculty Publications

US troops occupied the Mexican border town of Matamoros from 1846 to 1848 during the Mexican-American War. The troops were not welcome, but no serious confrontations occurred. American merchants established stores, restaurants, hotels, and other businesses in the town. After the occupation, the army moved to the north side of the Rio Grande and founded a new community called Brownsville. The occupation helped develop the social and commercial relationship between Matamoros and the Texas town of Brownsville.
