Comisión de inmigración : dictamen del vocal ingeniero José María Romero, encargado de estudiar la influencia social y económica de la inmigración asiática en México
Rare Books
Also known as the "Romero Report", this publication articulates the anti-Chinese sentiment in Mexico in the early 20th century. Romero's report concludes that Chinese immigrants, unlike their European counterparts, do not benefit the overall Mexican economy and are unable to properly assimilate. The publication of this report closely followed the Torreón Massacre (13-15 May 1911) in which over 300 Chinese men, women and children were brutally murdered and their homes and businesses burned. Romero cites this event as further evidence that Chinese populations in Mexico pose a threat to national stability.

La prostitución en México
Rare Books
Mexico City had long played host to a thriving sex trade, and in 1904 officials registered 10,000 prostitutes out of a total urban population of 368,000 ... Renowned social hygienist, Dr. Luis Lara y Pardo shocked many when he figured that between 15 and 30 percent of Mexico City's female population participated in the sex trade. In his 1908 book "La prostitución en México" Lara y Pardo claimed that a majority of these women represented a generation of poor, largely rural migrants who had come to the capital and crowded into a variety of working class neighborhoods."--Wood, Augustin. Lara, a cultural biography.
