Pacific Colony, a Southern California institution established to care for the feebleminded, justified the incarceration, sterilization, and forced mutilation of some of the most vulnerable members of society from the 1920s through the 1950s. Institutional records document the convergence of ableism and racism in Pacific Colony. Analyzing a vast archive, Natalie Lira reveals how political concerns over Mexican immigrationparticularly ideas about the low intelligence, deviant sexuality, and inherent criminality of the Mexican raceshaped decisions regarding the treatment and reproductive future of Mexican-origin patients. Laboratory of Deficiency documents the ways Mexican-origin people sought out creative resistance to institutional control and offers insight into how race, disability, and social deviance have been called upon to justify the confinement and reproductive constraint of certain individuals in the name of public health and progress.

Acknowledgments

I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to so many for making this book possible. I want to start by thanking my mother, Armida Lira, for the example, encouragement, and support she has given me my entire life. Thank you for never letting me off the hook and for reminding me that if you could raise four kids as a single immigrant mother who barely spoke English, then I could certainly write a book.
