Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Anything But Mexican challenges neoliberal interpretations of the history of Los Angeles which blame Mexicans and other immigrants of color for the decline of the city. Acuna's provocative work confronts these historical myths, signalling that Latinos will not be dismissed." Deena Gonzalez, Pomona College "Required reading on Chicanos in the Southwest. This book will stand amongst the classics in Chicano Studies." Teresa Cordova, University of New Mexico

Reseña del editor:

Mexicans and other Latinos comprise fifty percent of the population of Los Angeles and are the largest ethnic group in California. In this completely revised and updated edition of a classic political and social history, one of the foremost scholars of the Latino experience situates the US's largest immigrant community in a time of anti-immigrant fervor. Originally published in 1996, this edition analyses the rise and rule of LA's first-ever Mexican American mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, as well as the harsh pressures facing Chicanos in an increasingly unequal and gentrifying city.
