Life for Chicanos

What is a “Chicano”? Americans who are of Mexican descent Used as a way of showing they were proud of their hertiage Most lived in California or the Southwest in the early 20th century

Let’s back up… After the Mexican American War ended in 1848, the US annexed what is modern day California Arizona New Mexico Texas Nevada 77,000 Mexicans became Americans

Chicanos Face Discrimination Considered “white” by US government Considered “Mexican” in society Portrayed as “disloyal” during WWII Attended separate schools “No Dogs or Mexicans”

Problems for Chicanos Work: Many were considered to have low-skill levels Could only find jobs as Migrant Workers Paid VERY low wages $.90 an hour, minimum wage was $1.25 Deported if they asked for higher wages Pesticides were sprayed on the fields

Problems for Chicanos Education: Because families had to move, children did not stay in one school for very long Segregation English proficiency limited Teachers didn’t know what to do 50% drop out rate BEFORE high school
