SUMMARY:Escuelitas and the Emergence of a Mexican American Identity in South Texas: A Conversation with Dr. Philis Barragán Goetz
DESCRIPTION:Escuelitas and the Emergence of a Mexican American Identity in South Texas: A Conversation with Dr. Philis Barragán Goetz \n\n\n \n\n\nJoin the Westside Preservation Alliance and the Esperanza for the third event of our Westside Community History & Preservation Speaker Series! There will be one more speaker in this series in December.\n\n\n \n\n\nThis series will explore community history and historic preservation in communities of color! \n\n\n \n\n\nFrom the 1880s to shortly after World War II\, escuelitas\, or little schools\, could be found across South Texas. Mostly run by women who taught Spanish literacy\, Mexican history\, and sometimes English proficiency\, the schools were a reaction to South Texas’ segregated Mexican schools where pupils were forbidden from speaking Spanish\, and Mexican American history was either excluded from the curriculum or demeaned by the teachers. Escuelitas filled in the gaps in schooling and built pride among Mexican American children. Dr. Barragan will share locations of escuelitas in South Texas and stories of the teachers and children associated with them. \n\n\n \n\n\nABOUT DR. PHILIS M. BARRAGAN GOETZ\n\n\nPhilis M. Barragán Goetz received her Ph.D. in American Studies from the University of Texas at Austin. She is an Assistant Professor of History at Texas A&M University-San Antonio\, where she teaches classes in Mexican American history\, women’s history\, Texas history\, and United States social and cultural history. She is also Texas A&M San Antonio’s community liaison to the San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum.
