Last week I received the PCB-AHA’s W. Turrentine Jackson Award for my dissertation, “Field of Dreamers: Becoming Mexican American through the National Pastime.” This award recognizes the best dissertation on any aspect of the history of the American West in the 20th century. What an honor!!!

Hello, historians - I’m putting myself on the job market! I hope to consider faculty roles (TT or teaching) in History, Chicano Studies, or Sports Studies, or museum roles or work in public/community history. If there are any opportunities among your networks, I would love to learn more about them!

You can't teach U.S. history without "divisive" narratives. Slavery wasn't "unifying." The Japanese incarceration wasn't "unifying." The anti-immigrant Operation Wetback (real name) wasn't "unifying." It's history's job to tell the truth, not cover up past racism to pave the way for future racism.

The GOAT speech never more apt. “This July 4th is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn. To drag a man in fetters into the grand illuminated temple of liberty, and call upon him to join you in joyous anthems, [is] inhuman mockery and sacrilegious irony.” www.thenation.com/article/soci...

“What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” by Frederick Douglass

This is the perfect time to read the entirety of Frederick Douglass’s famous speech, and not merely because of the date on the calendar.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

Their stadium rests on the rubble of dispossessed brown people, just the continuation of doing the bare minimum to support those communities

Spraying the ICE agents with paint using a repurposed fire extinguisher appears to be a turning point in this confrontation in Tucson today. Same tactic worked well against around thirty cops at a Montreal protest in Nov. 2024, blinding at least one and forcing a whole unit to retreat down an alley.
