Mexican people and their culture have been continuously present in the territory for the past four hundred years, and Mexican Americans were actors in United States history long before the national media began to focus on them—even long before an international border existed between the United States and Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNorth to Aztlán, an inclusive, readable, and affordable survey history, explores the Indian roots, culture, society, lifestyles, politics, and art of Mexican Americans and the contributions of the people to and their influence on American history and the mainstream culture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThough cognizant of changing interpretations that divide scholars, Drs. De León and Griswold del Castillo provide a holistic vision of the development of Mexican American society, one that attributes great importance to immigration (before and after 1900) and the ongoing influence of new arrivals on the evolving identity of Mexican Americans. Also showcased is the role of gender in shaping the cultural and political history of La Raza, as exemplified by the stories of outstanding Mexicana and Chicana leaders as well as those of largely unsung female heros, among them ranch and business owners and managers, labor leaders, community activists, and artists and writers. In short, readers will come away from this extensively revised and completely up-to-date second edition with a new understanding of the lives of a people who currently compose the largest minority in the nation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCompletely revised, re-edited, and redesigned, featuring a great many new photographs and maps, North to Aztlán is certain to take its rightful place as the best college-level survey text of Americans of Mexican descent on the market today.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePreface and Acknowledgments VII\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Native American and Spanish Settlements 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The Spanish\/Mexican Northern Frontier 20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Natives in a Foreign Land 41\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 The Borderlands in Transition 63\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 The New Colonials: Development, Dispersal, and Diversification, 1910—1930 85\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Communities Under Stress: Depression and War 110\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Mexican Americans in Postwar America 135\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Aztlan Rediscovered: The Chicano Movement 158\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Latinos and the New Immigrants 182\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 The Dilemmas and Promises of the New Millennium 207\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Community, Diversity, and Culture: Some Conclusions 227\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChronology 233\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlossary 238\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes and References 243\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliographical Essay 271\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 285\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Tables\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArnoldo De León\u003c\/b\u003e is C.J. “Red” Davidson Professor of History at Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas, where he has taught since 1973.
