Mexico and the Jewish Refugees from Nazism, 1933-1945\u003c\/i\u003e reconstructs a largely unknown history: during the Second World War, the Mexican government closed its doors to Jewish refugees expelled by the Nazis. In this comprehensive investigation, based on archives in Mexico and the United States, Daniela Gleizer emphasizes the selectiveness and discretionary implementation of post-revolutionary Mexican immigration policy, which sought to preserve \u003ci\u003emestizaje\u003c\/i\u003e--the country's blend of Spanish and Indigenous people and the ideological basis of national identity--by turning away foreigners considered \"inassimilable\" and therefore \"undesirable.\" Through her analysis of\u003cbr\u003eMexico's role in the rescue of refugees in the 1930s and 40s, Gleizer challenges the country's traditional image of itself as a nation that welcomes the persecuted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a revised and expanded translation of the Spanish \u003ci\u003eEl exilio incodo.
