Newly revised and updated, Mexicanos tells the rich and vibrant story ofMexicans in the United States. Emerging from the ruins of Aztec civilization andfrom centuries of Spanish contact with indigenous people, Mexican culture followedthe Spanish colonial frontier northward and put its distinctive mark on what becamethe southwestern United States. Shaped by their Indian and Spanish ancestors, deeplyinfluenced by Catholicism, and tempered by an often difficult existence, Mexicanscontinue to play an important role in U.S. society, even as the dominant Angloculture strives to assimilate them. Thorough and balanced, Mexicanos makes avaluable contribution to the understanding of the Mexican population of the UnitedStates -- a growing minority who are a vital presence in 21st-centuryAmerica.
