Reviews
"Exhaustive and destined for controversy, this survey of the historical literature about Mexicans in what has become the United States is also a critique of the Chicano studies field. . . . In the end, Gonzales brings a bracing perspective to this epic story." --Publishers Weekly "A thoughtful, thorough survey of events in the history of Mexican-Americans, Chicanos, Mexicanos, Hispanos, and Latinos." --Kirkus Reviews " . . . Gonzales's overview [takes] advantage of significant new scholarship on a variety of subjects over the past two decades; he incorporates that material gracefully in his narrative of more than two centuries of Mexican American history." --Booklist "A very high quality synthesis of the historiography and the best recent historical scholarship on ethnic Mexicans in the United States. Written in a lively, opinionated, and yet balanced manner, the book should find a ready market for classroom use. Indeed, given its balanced tone and up-to-date review of relevant literature, the book should compete successfully with classics in the field such as Cary McWilliams's updatedNorth from Mexico; Meier and Rivera's The Chicanos: History of a People; and Rodolfo Acuna's polemicalOccupied America. . . . Gonzales is particularly deft in his handling of complex questions in the early history of Hispanics in what is now the United States. The sections on the evolution and significance of mestizaje, the development of religious thought and practice, and the vagaries of collective identity formation are all skillfully done. The author is also especially good in weaving relevant historical developments in Mexico throughout the analysis. This, in particular, should set this book apart from others in the field, and adds a much needed transnational dimension to Mexican American history. . . . [A] readable, engaging, and lively synthesis." - David G.

Synopsis
MexicanosA History of Mexicans in the United StatesManuel G. Gonzales ""A thoughtful, thorough survey of events in the history of Mexican-Americans, Chicanos, Mexicanos, Hispanos, and Latinos.... A lively narrative."" -- Kirkus Reviews ""Gonzales brings a bracing perspective to this epic story.... Exhaustive and destined for controversy."" -- Publishers Weekly ""The author is also especially good in weaving relevant historical developments in Mexico throughout the analysis.... A] readable, engaging, and lively synthesis."" -- David G. Gutierrez, University of California, San Diego ""The best short introduction yet to the history of Mexicans in the U.S."" -- Arkansas Democrat Gazette Mexicanos tells the rich and vibrant story of Mexicans in the United States. Emerging from the ruins of Aztec civilization and from centuries of Spanish contact with indigenous people, Mexican culture followed the Spanish colonial frontier northward and put its distinctive mark on what became the southwestern United States. Shaped by their Indian and Spanish ancestors, deeply influenced by Catholicism, and tempered by an often difficult existence, Mexicans continue to play an important role in U.S. society, even as the dominant Anglo culture strives to assimilate them. Thorough and balanced, this book makes a valuable contribution to the understanding of theMexican population of the United States, a growing minority who will be a vital presence in 21st-century America. Manuel G. Gonzales is a professor of history at Diablo Valley College and coeditor (with Cynthia M. Gonzales) of En Aquel Entonces, forthcoming from Indiana University Press. His other publications include Andrea Costa and the Rise of Socialism in the Romagna and The Hispanic Elite of the Southwest., MexicanosA History of Mexicans in the United StatesManuel G.
