Description
Authored by one of the most influential and highly-regarded voices of Chicano history and ethnic studies, Occupied America is the most definitive introduction to Chicano history. This comprehensive overview of Chicano history is passionately written and extensively researched. With a concise and engaged narrative, and timelines that give students a context for pivotal events in Chicano history, Occupied America illuminates the struggles and decisions that frame Chicano identity today. Serves as an overview of Mexican descent people’s history since pre-Columbian era until now. Have used the book as a secondary source for many research papers in senior level history courses. Roles of women in the history are highlighted something that other editions lack according to one of my professors.
