ABSTRACT The rise of the Latino population in Chicago during the 1960s and 1970s appeared to coincide with the inevitable breakdown of an aging political machine hobbled under the weight of the urban crisis. Instead, that old machine—defined by a patronage system, corruption, and voter intimidation—continued functioning, even as the city’s wards became browner. Through an examination of the relationship between Mayor Richard J. Daley, the political boss of the Democratic machine, and Mexican Chicagoans, this article demonstrates how the machine endured and maintained white political control in Mexicanized wards long after white constituents fled the city in large numbers. Contrary to previous understandings of the time, Daley’s machine did not neglect Latinos—or at least not all of them. Instead, it incorporated proactive moderate and conservative elements of the community to help Daley endorse his agenda and quell protest. These supporters, known as “Amigos for Daley,” stewarded changes to a revised machine in the barrio that became critical to its survival. In exchange, they were given the power and license to profit from the business of white flight and brown place-making. By shifting the focus from cultural nationalism and the New Left to the more moderate and conservative influences of the Latino Daley Democrats, this article expands our understanding of the range of Latino political mobilization during the 1960s and 1970s.

巴里奥的机器:芝加哥的保守殖民地和 1960 年代和 1970 年代拉丁裔政治的重塑

摘要 1960 年代和 1970 年代芝加哥拉丁裔人口的增加似乎与在城市危机重压下步履蹒跚的老化政治机器不可避免地崩溃相吻合。取而代之的是,这个由赞助制度、腐败和选民恐吓所定义的旧机器继续运转,即使城市的病房变得更加褐色。本文通过考察民主党机器的政治领袖理查德·戴利市长与墨西哥芝加哥人之间的关系,展示了在白人选民大量逃离城市之后,机器如何在墨西哥化病房中忍受并维持白人政治控制. 与当时的先前理解相反,戴利的机器并没有忽视拉丁裔——或者至少不是全部。反而,它融入了社区中积极主动的温和和保守元素,以帮助戴利支持他的议程并平息抗议。这些被称为“戴利之友”的支持者负责管理对巴里奥区的一台经过修改的机器的更改,该机器对其生存至关重要。作为交换,他们获得了从白色飞行和棕色场所营造业务中获利的权力和许可。通过将焦点从文化民族主义和新左派转移到拉丁裔戴利民主党更温和和保守的影响,本文扩展了我们对 1960 年代和 1970 年代拉丁裔政治动员范围的理解。作为交换,他们获得了从白色飞行和棕色场所营造业务中获利的权力和许可。通过将焦点从文化民族主义和新左派转移到拉丁裔戴利民主党更温和和保守的影响,本文扩展了我们对 1960 年代和 1970 年代拉丁裔政治动员范围的理解。作为交换,他们获得了从白色飞行和棕色场所营造业务中获利的权力和许可。通过将焦点从文化民族主义和新左派转移到拉丁裔戴利民主党更温和和保守的影响,本文扩展了我们对 1960 年代和 1970 年代拉丁裔政治动员范围的理解。
