In doing so, I offer an interpretive historical analysis of the experiences of the Mexican Americans' ancestors in Mexico and the United States. This analysis begins with the Mexican Americans' prehistoric foundations and continues into the late twentieth century. My focus, however, is on exploring the legacy of racial discrimination that was established in the aftermath of the Spanish conquest and was later intensified by the United States government when in 1848, it conquered northern Mexico (presently the U.S. Southwest) and annexed it to the United States (Menchaca 1999:3). The central period of study ranges from 1570 to 1898"--Page 1 Analysis Norteamericanos de origen mexicano Identidad racial Norteamericanos de origen mexicano Identidad étnica Norteamericanos de origen mexicano Historia Mestizos Estados Unidos Historia Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 331-362) and index Notes Master and use copy.
