“…The cohort of men studied are generally known as The Mexican American Generation , crafting their dual ethnic and national identification posteconomic difficulties in Mexico and post-World War II American (Allied) success while living in a conquered land (Cross, 1928;de Shields, 1912;Urtado & Sinha, 2016). Maintaining a geographic and familial relationship with Mexico while confronting socioeconomic survival in the United States categorizes the conflicting boundaries that were merged into a unique MA ethnic identity of a mestizo people (Alvarez, 1971;Sitton and Utley, 1997). Concepts also included are ethnicity, ethnic identity, masculinity including the sub-term machismo (Arciniega, et al, 2008;Connell, 2005;Green, 2021), and alterity and hypostasis (Levinas, 2000).…”

The life-history narratives of 10 Mexican American men with mobility limitations, age 55–77 years (mean = 63.8, SD = 5.8), were explored using a qualitatively driven, life-history mixed-methods study to understand perceptions of mobility limitations over the life course. Within that methodological and paradigmatic framework, conceptualizations of alterity and masculinity guided interpretation of data. Through an iterative, thematic analysis, we detail the way the men’s lives were influenced by growing familial responsibility with age. Quantitative data were integrated into themes of narrative inheritance, family, and masculinity. It was posited that masculinity with mobility limitations shaped and was shaped by ethnic identity and responsibility. This has implications for understanding the experience of Mexican American men over the life course.

This article is a family history that supported the relationship between slavery and generational wealth. The research documented the history of two Moffett families who were probably not related biologically—a White one who owned a Black one with the same last name. However, the two family histories revealed a larger and more complicated narrative about the origins and intractable roots of American inequality that follows the trail of my slave ancestors to one of the most well- known and wealthiest international corporations in the world—from cotton to Coca-Cola. This is the account of a set of conditions that, while assisting Whites to acquire generational wealth, prevented Black people from doing the same. The piece discusses how generational wealth is accumulated and maintained and argues that higher education alone has provided limited opportunities for Black families to acquire and maintain generational wealth. Recommendations included attention to individual and institutional racism, particularly the structural factors that White families have used to leverage their income and wealth, notably government programs, political and social contacts, access to financial resources, and privileged information about economic opportunities.
