critical race theory perspective. The dissertation was later published

Scope and Content Note
The Jay Rochlin oral history project audio cassettes measure 1 linear foot and
contain oral histories conducted by Rochlin with 16 African-American and 31
Mexican-American University of Arizona alumni and alumnae recorded on 58 compact
audio cassettes. The collection consists of audio interviews and oral history
transcripts arranged alphabetically by narrator, correspondence, and research files.
Two audio cassettes filed at the end of the oral history tapes contain related
research material. The oral histories were collected by Jay Rochlin as research data
for his 1995 Higher Education PhD dissertation: Conversations
with Ricardo's daughter: The minority experience at the University of Arizona
between 1925 and 1994 from a critical race theory perspective. It was
published by University of Arizona Press in 1997 as Race and
Class on Campus: Conversations with Ricardo's Daughter.The dissertation
examines the occurrence of racial and ethnic prejudice against underrepresented
groups at the University across time, and the factors that encouraged these
individuals to pursue higher education in spite of socio-economic and systemic
barriers.
Use of original audio visual materials is restricted due to their fragile nature.
