Description

For the reason that early sixteenth century Chicanos–persons of Mexican origin living in the USA–have inhabited what is now the Southwest . They arrived with European-led explorations and settlers, and came to view the region as their new place of origin. They built churches and farms, and played an important role within the introduction and adaptation of European civilization into the region. All over the middle of the nineteenth century, the USA declared war on Mexico and acquired their ancestral lands through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. These original inhabitants were promised unprecedented political and civil rights within the new American administration. Between the Conquests: The Early Chicano Historical Experience is a unique choice of readings covering this early period–the span of history between the sixteenth century Spanish conquest and the USA conquest of Mexico within the Mexican American War–with a special center of attention at the distinctive Chicano experience. Between the Conquests includes interpretations of the unique and historical roots of one of the vital oldest and fastest growing populations in the USA.
