Abstract
In this chapter different arenas of Mexican migrants’ political engagement in Chicago from an organizational perspective are analyzed. The first part of the chapter describes the local groups of the Mexican parties in Chicago—PRI, PAN and PRD—as a form of political representation of Mexican migrants. The second part of the chapter describes—using the example of the Michoacano federation as a point of departure—the networking between the Chicago Mexican migrant organizations as well as their cooperation with other civil society organizations and institutions. Starting with the broad network of Chicago’s Mexican migrant organizations, the last part of the chapter examines the protest movement for comprehensive immigration legislation in the USA and the support for the campaign of Barack Obama.
