His first book, The Chinese in Mexico, 1882-1940 (2010), tells the forgotten history of the Chinese community in Mexico. The Chinese in Mexico received the Latina\/o Studies Section Book Award from the Latin American Studies Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing upon his background as an attorney, Romero\u2019s second area of research examines the legal history of Chicano\/Latino segregation as well as immigration law and policy. His most recent research explores the role of spirituality in Chicana\/o social activism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Romero received his J.
