"Let All of Them Take Heed": Mexican Americans and the Campaign for Educational Equality in Texas, 1910-1981 is a non-fiction book by Guadalupe San Miguel, Jr., published by University of Texas Press in 1987. Let All of Them Take Heed argues that Mexican-Americans in the period saw education as central to success in the United States, with participation in League of United Latin American Citizens being key evidence.[1] The book argues against the idea that the ethnic group did not place value in education.[2] According to Richard A. Garcia of Santa Monica College, "Let All of Them Take Heed" "is the first major work to give credence to the reality of a strong Mexican American civil rights movement[...]"[3]
In the final chapter of the book, San Miguel discusses how efforts by civil rights organizations were thwarted.[4]
Garcia wrote that this work is "a study worth reading".[5]
Ruth Horowitz of the University of Delaware described it as a "highly textured study".[2] She described it as important, though she felt the central ideas should have been better explained.[6]
