Now, I've done some adventures into Mexico in the past, and a fascinating place I stayed in was Mexicali. Mexicali, at one time, was the center of a large chinese mexican population. When I was there, I picked up a book, called "Los Inmigrantes Chinos en Baja California, 1920-1937", by Catalina Velasquez Morales. It was a fascinating book, about the chinese who immigrated to Mexico, and how their lives were during that time period.
Here's a couple or resources that discuss this theme. I'll be expanding on this as I translate the book.
