Extent: 256 pages


Combining cutting-edge theoretical constructs with hard facts, the authors provide us with a landmark study of the causes and processes of emigration from Mexico to the United States. This book is a must-read for all Mexican and Chicano scholars. |o John Mason Hart, University of Houston, Author of Empire and Revolution: The Americans in Mexico Since the Civil War In A Century of Chicano History, authors Fernandez and Gonzalez argue persuasively for the centrality of the changing dynamic of late 19th and 20th century American economic and cultural expansion in Mexico in the making of the Chicano community in America. Clear, concise, and readable, A Century of Chicano History provides a new framework for the study of Chicano history. Stimulating in approach, this fine book will have a wide readership. |o Zaragosa Vargas, University of California, Santa Barbara, Author of Major Problems in Mexican American History: Documents and Essays


In the best traditions of U.S. critical scholarship from Beard to Genovese and beyond, this book offers a definitive account of the interdependent histories of the U.S. and Mexico as well as the making of the Chicano population in America while providing a history of 20th Century Mexico and its cultural interactions with the US. By employing a neo-Marxist approach, the authors skillfully link history to contemporary issues, emphasizing the overlooked significance of late 19th and 20th century U.S. economic expansionism to European in the formation of the Mexican community. By doing so, the reader offers a timely and significant revision of the of the origins of the increasing Mexican-American population of the United States, illuminating the deep connection between US domination over Mexico-demanding attention to the past, present, and future course of Chicano history.

Racism on Trial. The Chicano Fight for Justice. Ian F. Haney López

Racism on Trial jacketIn 1968, ten thousand students marched in protest over the terrible conditions prevalent in the high schools of East Los Angeles, the largest Mexican community in the United States. Chanting "Chicano Power," the young insurgents not only demanded change but heralded a new racial politics. Frustrated with the previous generation's efforts to win equal treatment by portraying themselves as racially white, the Chicano protesters demanded justice as proud members of a brown race. The legacy of this fundamental shift continues to this day.

Ian Haney López tells the compelling story of the Chicano movement in Los Angeles by following two criminal trials, including one arising from the student walkouts. He demonstrates how racial prejudice led to police brutality and judicial discrimination that in turn spurred Chicano militancy. He also shows that legal violence helped to convince Chicano activists that they were nonwhite, thereby encouraging their use of racial ideas to redefine their aspirations, culture, and selves. In a groundbreaking advance that further connects legal racism and racial politics, Haney López describes how race functions as "common sense," a set of ideas that we take for granted in our daily lives. This racial common sense, Haney López argues, largely explains why racism and racial affiliation persist today.

By tracing the fluid position of Mexican Americans on the divide between white and nonwhite, describing the role of legal violence in producing racial identities, and detailing the commonsense nature of race, Haney López offers a much needed, potentially liberating way to rethink race in the United States.

Chicano Folklore

A Guide to the Folktales, Traditions, Rituals and Religious Practices of Mexican Americans
RAFAELA G. CASTRO
336 pp.; 32 line illus; 6-1/8 x 9-1/4; 0-19-514639-5

A complete guide to the folktales, traditions, rituals and religious practices of Mexican Americans

Did you know that barrio is a term for a Chicano neighborhood, and that some of the oldest barrios can be found in major U.S. cities, like Los Angeles, Chicago, El Paso, and San Antonio? Or that menudo is actually a soup-type dish made with tripe, the stomach lining of a cow, and typically eaten early in the morning after big holiday celebrations to cure a hangover?

Chicano Folklore is replete with such interesting and often surprising facts about Mexican American culture. Even before the United States-Mexican War in 1848, when 80,000 Spanish-Mexican-Indian people suddenly became inhabitants of the United States, people of Spanish and Mexican descent had a rich and unique culture in what is now the American southwest. Understanding Chicano folklore, or the customs, rituals, and traditional cultural forms that Mexican Americans share, is extremely significant to comprehending the Chicano experience. Chicano Folklore is the first reference book to focus wholly on this subject. From burrito (literally little burro or little donkey) to zoot suit (a style of suit worn by Mexican Americans, African Americans, and Filipino Americans during the 1930s and 1940s), the dictionary's more than 225 in-depth passages thoroughly explain the meaning and background of each cultural term. We learn about the music, religious practices, food, and key historical and mythical figures that make Chicano folklore so vibrant.

The detailed, immensely informative passages of Chicano Folklore will entertain and educate anyone interested in understanding Chicano culture and the colorful impact it has had on America as a whole.

"This inclusive lexicon offers terms associated with the Chicano population and its history, experiences, and customs....The entries which combine English and Spanish terminology, include definitions, commentary, and citations to Chicano folk narratives, arts, folk drama, and popular culture....These entries give context to expressive behaviors and artifacts... as well as words that have been absorbed into everyday English."--Library Journal

The Mexican American Experience


212 pp. / 14 illus. / 6 1/8 x 9 1/4 / 2001
Paper (0-8165-1983-8) $14.95s

Selected as one of just 35 titles recognized as"The Best of the Best from the University Presses" for 2002 by the selection committee for "University Press Books Selected for Public and Secondary School Libraries"
    Over the past several decades, Mexican Americans have made an indelible mark on American culture through the music of bands such as Santana and Los Lobos, films such as Zoot Suit, and a wide range of literature, such as Sandra Cisneros's The House on Mango Street. Now Charles Tatum introduces students to these and other forms of artistic expression in the first volume to provide a wide-ranging overview of Chicano popular culture.
    Tatum explores the broad and complex arena of popular culture among Americans of Mexican descent and explains what popular culture can tell them about themselves. Reviewing a range of expressive arts, from traditional forms to electronic media, he explains the differences and similarities between Chicano popular culture and that of other ethnic groups or of Anglo society and shows how Chicano arts reflect a people's traditions and heritage.

The book's coverage focuses on five areas of popular culture. It explores
• Mexican American and Chicano music from the sixteenth century to the present day;
• cinema, focusing on Chicano films of the past three decades;
• newspapers, radio, and television, explaining the interrelationship between these media;
• literature, emphasizing fiction, theater, and poetry of the last thirty years;
• and fiestas, celebrations, and art, including mural and graffiti art.

    Tatum provides a brief overview of Mexican American social history, paying particular attention to changing cultural perspectives over the past 150 years and the evolution of el movimiento chicano. He also introduces theories of popular culture and makes them accessible to students, enabling them to better understand the material covered in the text.
    No other book offers such a wide-ranging introduction to these cultural expressions of Mexican Americans today. Chicano Popular Culture invites readers to share the excitement of these vital arts and, through them, to learn more about the uniqueness of America's fastest-growing minority.
    Chicano Popular Culture and Mexican Americans and Health are the first volumes in the series The Mexican American Experience, a cluster of modular texts designed to provide greater flexibility in undergraduate education. Each book deals with a single topic concerning the Mexican American population. Instructors can create a semester-length course from any combination of volumes, or may choose to use one or two volumes to complement other texts.

Chicano Drama: Performance, Society and Myth
Jorge Huerta
November 2000 | Paperback | 222 pages 10 half-tones | ISBN: 0521778174

This is the first book since Jorge Huerta’s earlier study Chicano Theater: Themes and Forms to explore the diversity and energy of Chicano theatre. Huerta takes as his starting point 1979, the year Luis Valdez’s play, Zoot Suit, was produced on Broadway. Huerta looks at plays by and about Chicana and Chicanos, as they explore, through performance, the community and its identity caught between the United States and Mexico. Through informative biographies of each playwright and analyses of their plays, Huerta offers an accessible introduction to this important aspect of American theatre and culture. Overall, Huerta establishes a pattern of theatrical activity that is closely linked with both Western European traditions of realism and an indigenous philosophy seen in contemporary Chicano culture. The book contains photographs from key productions and will be invaluable to students, scholars and general theatregoers.

jacket of The Chicano Renaissance The Chicano Renaissance: Contemporary Cultural Trends
Edited by David R. Maciel, Isidro D. Ortiz, and María Herrera-Sobek

Among the lasting legacies of the Chicano Movement is the cultural flowering that it inspired--one that has steadily grown from the 1960s to the present. It encompassed all of the arts and continues to earn acclaim both nationally and internationally. Although this Chicano artistic renaissance received extensive scholarly attention in its initial phase, the post-Movimiento years after the late 1970s have been largely overlooked. This book meets that need, demonstrating that, despite the changes that have taken place in all areas of Chicana/o arts, a commitment to community revitalization continues to underlie artistic expression.

This collection examines changes across a broad range of cultural forms--art, literature, music, cinema and television, radio, and theater--with an emphasis on the last two decades. Original articles by both established and emerging scholars review such subjects as the growth of Tejano music and the rise of Selena, how films and television have affected the Chicana/o experience, the evolution of Chicana/o art over the last twenty years, and postmodern literary trends.

In all of the essays, the contributors emphasize that, contrary to the popular notion that Chicanas/os have succumbed to a victim mentality, they continue to actively struggle to shape the conditions of their lives and to influence the direction of American society through their arts and social struggle. Despite decades usually associated with self-interest in the larger society, the spirit of commitment and empowerment has continued to infuse Chicana/o cultural expression and points toward a vibrant future.

One of the fastest growing ethnic groups within the United States is the Chicano/Latino population.  Chicanos are people of Mexican descent in the United States.  The term Latino refers to all persons of Latin American backgrounds including Chicanos who reside in this country.  With an estimated number of about 30 million, Latinos are expected to become the largest minority population in the country exceeding the African American community.
