LBI and Mexican Americans
The Paradox of Power
By Julie Leininger Pycior
The author explores the complex and
sometimes contradictory relations between
Lyndon Johnson and Mexican
Americans and shows that Johnson's
genuine desire to help them -and reap
the political dividends - did not prevent
him from allying himself with individuals
and groups intent on thwarting
Mexican Americans' organizing efforts.
This complicated relationship influenced
both the political development of
Mexican Americans and LBJ's career
with consequences that reverberated in
society at large.

Due to a variety of factors, low-income
