Mexicanos, Third Edition A History of Mexicans in the United States

A must-read book for anyone interested in Southwest history.

This book is definitely one that you need on your bookshelf.

The best short introduction yet to the history of Mexicans in the U.S. could not have come at a better time.

Stress on facts and chronology make for clear explanations, especially for those just becoming acquainted with Mexican American history.

[A] general history survey must be accurate, compelling, and inclusive of all matter of historical and cultural experiences. To its credit, Mexicanos provides exemplary balance and perspective.

It is a page-turner that reads more like a novel than a history book. . . . The book provides insight into a people non-Mexicanos should see, not as interlopers, but as the latest wave in a centuries-old migration of people and culture, and a movement that is parallel to the great western expansion from the east.

Gonzales' book should be of much interest.

Gratifyingly well written and illustrated, and featuring an extensive index and bibliography, Mexicanos is highly recommended for general readers, historians, and professors of Chicano studies.
