Genay explains how Pantex existed for decades under a “cap of invisibility,” receiving minimal attention even as many of the people who lived near the plant made it part of their local identity. Genay focuses on one individual or group in each chapter, beginning with Leroy Matthiesen, a Catholic bishop who lived near Pantex and advised his parishioners that working at Pantex was morally wrong. Bishop Matthiesen’s activism took him to a national level as one of the writers of “The Challenge of Peace,” the U.S. Catholic Bishops’ pastoral letter articulating their objections to most uses of nuclear weapons. Next Genay discusses two people who approached Pantex through creative projects. Novelist Grace Mojtabai...

The respondent, who is a senior scholar in Chicana/o history, started their comments by pointing out that none of the presenters had cited Arnoldo De León’s work. “Does no one cite De León’s work anymore?” they asked. The room got quiet for a moment, and what followed was a fascinating discussion about history, sources, and the future of Mexican American history in Texas. Martha Menchaca’s newest book, The Mexican American Experience in Texas, not only builds on De León’s work (and cites him), it’s a brilliant synthesis built on research from archives in Texas and Mexico and an ever-growing secondary literature. Menchaca provides a broad historical overview, from the Spanish colonization of Texas to immigrant rights movements and Texas politics in the twenty-first century, that is focused on the political...

That means entire careers can be spent focused exclusively on water. But it also means that any topic related to the American West requires some familiarity with key water issues. One might need to quickly review the origin of the self-governing windmill or the story of how London Bridge ended up spanning Lake Havasu. In such cases you want an authoritative and clear guide to the variety of issues that might come up—cultural, political, social, economic, or scientific. In that situation you should probably have Robert R. Crifasi’s Western Water A to Z within arm’s reach. While Crifasi’s book is not exhaustive—I would describe its size as respectable but not overwhelming—it does cover a huge variety of topics thoroughly in clear and enjoyable prose.

Specifically, he takes readers through the city’s historically Mexican neighborhoods and explores in detail how “Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans were placemakers and community builders who shaped their neighborhoods and instilled in each other a sense of belonging, despite the odds” (p. 14). Situated within urban history, immigration history, political history, and Latinx history, Amezcua highlights the shifting contours of residential segregation, community activism, and belonging in one of the United States’ largest urban centers. Throughout Making Mexican Chicago, Amezcua vibrantly illustrates how displacement, relocation, and the struggle for equitable housing shaped the Mexican Windy City. Ethnic Mexicans had to contend with efforts by city politicians, neighborhood organizations, and federal campaigns that targeted their homes and neighborhoods for slum clearance and redevelopment.
