Reviews

"A great introduction to Chican@ cultural behavior and representation. I have found few books that provide the same quality of survey with clear examples of cultural expressions."--Eric Romero, New Mexico Highlands University "A well-presented update of a great resource for students of Chicana/o studies. From Selena to The House on Mango Street to bathtub tributes to La Virgen de Guadalupe, you get a glimpse into the culture of the Southwest."--Jose F. Quintana, Metropolitan State University of Denver
