About

Mike Amezcua is a historian and a professor in Georgetown University's Department of History. His 2022 work, "Making Mexican Chicago: From Postwar Settlement to the Age of Gentrification" explores the growth of Chicago's Mexican/Mexican-American community, its fight for political and cultural recognition, and its battles with gentrification. Amezcua utilized several collections from the Manuscript Division, including the records of the Work Projects Administration and the papers of Democratic political operative John B. Martin and civil rights activist Herbert Hill. Amezcua is part of a new wave of historians exploring the impact of Latinx culture on urban America, a community often ignored or marginalized by broader media. Amezcua also studies issues such as political representation, cultural impact of historic preservation, and gentrification, all critical debates unfolding in cities across the nation.
