The introduction provides the reader with an historical overview of the Cardenas administration’s attempts to orchestrate an organized repatriation of its citizens from the United States during the years of the Great Depression. The introduction also endeavours to describe how Alanis Enciso’s overview of Mexican repatriation under the Cardenas administration differs from similar analyses, and how each of these works has influenced but ultimately differs from Enciso’s own book.


Grassroots community initiatives can be vital to the education and stabilization of vulnerable populations experiencing problems, such as chronic disease and socioeconomic issues. A historical overview of the origins of some grassroots initiatives in the United States are explored. The potential effectiveness of grassroots initiatives used in the past and implemented in the current healthcare environment is examined for purposeful use in resolving health disparities. While, historically, there have been multiple interventions to resolve the problem of health disparities, the problem of socioeconomic and racial injustices still prevent change. Nonetheless, change is possible and can be accomplished.
