Mexicanos, Third Edition

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

~Albuquerque Journal

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

~Low Rider Magazine

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

~Arkansas Democratic-Gazette

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

~Arnoldo De León, Journal of American Ethnic 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."

~New Mexico Historical Review

"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."

~Contra Costa Times

"Gonzales' book should be of much interest."

~Tucson Weekly

"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."

~Richard Delgado, California History

"Especially good in weaving relevant historical developments in Mexico throughout the analysis. This . . . adds a much-needed transnational dimension to Mexican American history. . . . A readable, engaging, and lively synthesis."

~David G. Gutiérrez, University of California San Diego
