De Leon & Greswold Del Castillo, North Aztlan - A History Of Mexican Americans In The United States

Abstract

In the century and one-half since the United States gained the northern third of Mexico in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the region's Hispanic population has undergone a remarkable transformation. Contact between people of Mexican descent and those of Anglo heritage has changed both groups. Arnoldo De Leon and Richard Griswold de! Castillo present their readers with a passionate, sensitive, and comprehensive examination of the nature of that change.
