RAMIREZ ZAVALA, Ana Luz. The hygienic-sanitarian arguments in the antichinese campaign, 1924-1932. Let. hist. [online]. 2016, n.14, pp.159-183. ISSN 2448-8372.

The anti-Chinese campaign was a xenophobic political movement promoted regionally by various nationalist organizations trying to deny entry of Chinese nationals to Mexico and, at the same time, the expulsion of those who were in the country. To achieve its objectives, these groups developed various propaganda activities, from monitoring and control of the community to the use of the legal framework on health, immigration and labor to ensure in this way that the campaign reached a national dimension.
