Description: Product infoThe Los Angeles Barrio, 1850-1890 : A Social History by Richard Griswold del Castillo (1982, Trade Paperback)Books & Magazines > BooksProduct Information"An imponant book .... which] provides the first detailed analysis of the changes that transformed one of the most important Mexican pueblos in the Southwest into a Chicano urban barrio. Using quantitative data together with traditional secondary and primary historical sources, the author traces the major socio-economic, political, and racial factors that evolved during the post-Mexican War decades and that created a subordinate status for Mexican Americans in a burgeoning American city."-- Western Historical Quarterly "Griswold del Castillo's history of the Mexican community during the first decades of the 'American era' . . . concentrates on the mechanisms which the community adopted as it was confronted by changes in the economic structure of the region, the in-migration of Anglo-Americans as well as Mexicans, and by the effects of racial segregation on the community. The] aim is to reveal the history of a community undergoing rapid social and economic change, not to write the history of one society's domination of another."-- UCLA Historical Journal "Los Angeles Chicanos emerge not as the homogeneous, passive victims of stereotypical fame, but as internally diverse, active participants in the simultaneous struggles to maintain their socio-cultural fabric and to capture a part of the American Dream. The author effectively demonstrates that the Chicano decline occurred not because of cultural weaknesses but as the almost inevitable resu lt of Anglo prejudice, numerical domination, and control of political and economic institutions. . . . an admirable book and a fine piece of scholarship.''-- American Historical ReviewProduct IdentifiersPublisherUniversity of California PressISBN-100520047737ISBN-139780520047730eBay Product ID (ePID)430531Product Key FeaturesBook TitleLos Angeles Barrio, 1850-1890:A Social HistoryAuthorRichard Griswold Del CastilloFormatTrade PaperbackLanguageEnglishTopicUnited States / State & Local / West (Ak, CA, Co, Hi, Idaho, Mt, Nv, Ut, WY), Sociology / UrbanPublication Year1982GenreHistory, Social ScienceNumber of Pages232 PagesDimensionsItem Length0.8in.Item Height0.1in.Item Width0.7in.Item Weight9.7 OzAdditional Product FeaturesCopyright Date1980Lccn78-065460Dewey Decimal301.45/16/872079494Dewey Edition18IllustratedYes
