However, as this book is the first to comprehensively document, Mexicans and Mexican Americans have a long history of migration to the U.S. South. \u003ci\u003eCorazon de Dixie\u003c\/i\u003e recounts the untold histories of Mexicanos' migrations to New Orleans, Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia, and North Carolina as far back as 1910. It follows Mexicanos into the heart of Dixie, where they navigated the Jim Crow system, cultivated community in the cotton fields, purposefully appealed for help to the Mexican government, shaped the southern conservative imagination in the wake of the civil rights movement, and embraced their own version of suburban living at the turn of the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRooted in U.S. and Mexican archival research, oral history interviews, and family photographs, \u003ci\u003eCorazon de Dixie\u003c\/i\u003e unearths not just the facts of Mexicanos' long-standing presence in the U.S. South but also their own expectations, strategies, and dreams. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julie M.
