Reviews

""This is to date the most comprehensively narrated and researched work on Mexicans in the Midwest... It clearly supersedes [past published works] and is also of higher quality, I think, than most other works published in the field of Chicano studies in recent times."" -Juan Gomez-Quinones, Professor of History, UCLA
