Summary

In his enduring study of Spanish-speaking Californians--a group that includes both native-born Californians, orCalifornios, and immigrants from Mexico--Leonard Pitt charts one of the earliest chapters in the state's ethnic history, and, in the process, he sheds light on debates and tensions that continue to this day. In a new foreword for this edition, Ramoacute;n A. Gutieacute;rrez discusses the shaping and reception of the book and also views this classic work in light of recent scholarship on California and ethnic history.
