Dr. Garcia will discuss his research and findings that went into the writing of his book entitled, Strategies of Segregation: Race, Residence, and the Struggle for Educational Equality. The book documents a history of racially separate and unequal schooling for Mexican American and African American students in Oxnard, Calif. The presentation will highlight interviews of community members and former students who endured and challenged segregation.
Dr. Garcia transferred from Oxnard College to UCLA, where he earned a B.A. in Sociology with a specialization in Chicana/o Studies, an M.A. in Latin American Studies, and a Ph.D. in U.S. History.
