Conquests & Historical Identities in California 1769–1936
Autor Lisbeth Haasen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 noi 1996
A borderlands and Chicano history, Haas's work provides a richly textured study of events that took place in and around San Juan Capistrano and Santa Ana in present-day Orange County. She provides a vivid sense of how and why the past acquires meaning in the lives that make up the historical identities she discusses. The voices of Juaneo and Luiseo Indians, Californios, and Mexicans are heard along the shifting faultlines of economic, social, and political change.
This is one of the first truly multiethnic histories of California and of the West. It makes clear that issues of multiculturalism and ethnicity are not recent manifestations in California-they have characterized social and cultural relationships there since the late eighteenth century.
