The History of Latin American Migrations to the US - Prof. Julia Young

Since at least 1848, political, economic, and social revolutions have helped fuel Latin American migrations to the United States. These migrations have in turn revolutionized the demographics and politics of the U.S. In this talk, historian Julia Young gives an overview of the surprisingly long history of Latin American migrations north, touching on Mexican, Cuban, and Central American migrations in particular, and continuing up to the present day. This lecture was given at the Institute for Humane Studies at George Mason University. Professor Julia G. Young is Associate Professor of History at The Catholic University of America. She is a historian of migration, Mexico and Latin America, and Catholicism in the Americas. Her prize-winning book, Mexican Exodus: Emigrants, Exiles, and Refugees of the Cristero War (Oxford University Press, 2015), examines Mexican religious exiles, political refugees, and labor emigrants in the United States during Mexico’s Cristero war. Dr. Young has been a fellow at the Kluge Center at the Library of Congress, as well as the Institute for Policy Research at Catholic University. She is currently researching a new book about right-wing Catholicism in Mexico during the twentieth century, and she frequently writes for the media about immigration, border issues, and Catholic immigration history.
