This first historical ethnographic case study of a Mexican-origin community will be important reading across a spectrum of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, race and ethnicity, Latino studies, and American culture
Martha Menchaca is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin.
[Menchaca's] work buttresses the argument that race is alive and
well and that twenty-five years of affirmative action policies have
not eliminated the legacy of segregation... [This book] provides an
excellent view of social relations in one place across time.
Compelling and thought-provoking, the study argues for sustaining
public policies that challenge racist discrimination.
