Manuscripts
This collection consists of materials that Pedro Villaseñor created and assembled that document the troubled church-state relations of Mexico and their effect in Los Angeles, chiefly in the 1930s. It documents transnational politics between Mexico and Los Angeles as well as politics and political organizing and activities within the Mexican community of Los Angeles in the 1930s. It also documents the intellectual and political thought of Mexican conservative Roman Catholicism in Los Angeles and beyond through correspondence from Mexico, Cuba, Peru, and throughout the United States; newsletters; poetry; books; essays; and flyers. Holdings in United States research libraries and archives related to Roman Catholic political resistance to the Mexican government, an important part of twentieth-century Mexican church-state history, are extremely rare. Of particular interest is the large amount of literary material that Mexican conservative Roman Catholics in this collection authored. Books accompanying this collection are assigned call number RB 646900.
