In Recognition of Representative Irma L. Rangel: Legislator and Role Model |
4 Texas Hispanic Journal of Law and Policy 3 (Spring 1998) |
As the first Mexican American woman elected to the Texas House of Representatives, Representative Irma Rangel has served as a role model for the Hispanic community since she was first elected to the Legislature in 1976.

Las Olvidadas--gendered in Justice/gendered Injustice: Latinas, Fronteras and the Law |
1 Journal of Gender, Race and Justice 353 (Spring 1998) |
Ever since I can remember, I have always been ashamed of who I am. I was ashamed of being poor, I was ashamed of being on welfare, I was ashamed of being a spic (Puerto Rican) with all the prejudices and connotations that go along with a society that does not honor the individual as a spiritual being who is unique and deserves every opportunity... |

Latinos and California's Future: Too Few at the School's Door |
10 La Raza Law Journal 631 (Fall, 1998) |
Latinos have a long history in California. California was settled by Spain in 1769 and reorganized by Mexico in the 1820s. Following the Alvarado Revolution of 1836, California was essentially independent until it became a U.S. military territory after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildago in 1848. Thus, Latinos were present in what is now California... |

Learning about Latinos |
19 Chicano-Latino Law Review 363 (Spring 1998) |
To really matter, Latinos must be recognized. And to some degree, we must be understood too, yes, in all our complexity, and yet so as to be seen as a force sufficiently coherent to exercise clout. That wouldn't seem to be asking too much, either of ourselves or of others. After all, basic recognition, some understanding, and occasional influence... |

Persons of Hispanic origin represent one of the fastest growing working groups in the United States. Their rate of growth in the U.S. work force during the 1980s and early 1990s was nearly four times that of non-Hispanics, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that by 2006 the Hispanic labor force will be greater than that of blacks.
