Walls & Mirrors – Mexican Americans, Mexican Immigrants & the Politics of Ethnicity
Autor David G Gutierrezen Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 mar 1995
Drawing on an extensive body of primary and secondary sources, Gutirrez focuses on the complex ways that their pattern of immigration influenced Mexican Americans' sense of social and cultural identity-and, as a consequence, their politics. He challenges the most cherished American myths about U.S. immigration policy, pointing out that, contrary to rhetoric about "alien invasions," U.S. government and regional business interests have actively recruited Mexican and other foreign workers for over a century, thus helping to establish and perpetuate the flow of immigrants into the United States. In addition, Gutirrez offers a new interpretation of the debate over assimilation and multiculturalism in American society. Rejecting the notion of the melting pot, he explores the ways that ethnic Mexicans have resisted assimilation and fought to create a cultural space for themselves in distinctive ethnic communities throughout the southwestern United States.
