Editorial Reviews
Review
Ramón Gutiérrez, University of California, San Diego : Camarillo is without a doubt the top Chicano historian in the United States...Chicanos in a Changing Society is the best treatment of race and ethnic relations in the historical development of the United States Southwest. It tells a rich and complex story of how California's mexicano population was deprived of its land, politically disempowered, and socially segregated into ethnic enclaves or barrios. Camarillo got the story right to the very last detail.
David J. Weber, Southern Methodist University : Camarillo's compelling analysis of the forces that pushed mexicanos in Southern California into dead-end jobs in segregated neighborhoods rests on such a solid base of evidence that his conclusions remain as valid today as when his pioneering study first appeared.
