This single-volume book provides students, educators, and
politicians with an update to the classic Carey McWilliams work
North From Mexico. It provides up-to-date information on the
Chicano experience and the emergent social dynamics in the United
States as a result of Mexican immigration. Carey McWilliams's North
From Mexico, first published in 1948, is a classic survey of
Chicano history. Now fully updated by Alma M. García to cover the
period from 1990 to the present, McWilliams's quintessential book
explores all aspects of Chicano/a experiences in the United States,
including employment, family, immigration policy, language issues,
and other cultural, political, and social issues. The volume builds
on the landmark work and also provides relevant up-to-date content
to the 1990 edition revised by Matt S. Meier, which added coverage
of the key period in Chicano history from the postwar period
through to the late 1980s. As the largest group of immigrants in
the United States, representing more than a quarter of foreign-born
individuals in the United States, Mexican immigrants have had and
will continue to have a tremendous impact on the culture and
society of the United States as a whole. This freshly updated
edition of North from Mexico addresses the changing demographic
trends within Mexican immigrant communities and their implications
for the country; analyzes key immigration policies such as the
Immigration Act of 1990 and California's Proposition 187, with
specific emphasis on the political mobilization that has developed
within Mexican American immigrant communities; and describes the
development of immigration reform as well as community
organizations and electoral politics. The book contains new
chapters that examine recent trends in Mexican immigration to the
United States and identify the impact on politics and society of
Mexican immigrants and later generations of U.S.-born Mexican
Americans. The appendices provide readers and researchers with
current immigration figures and information regarding today's
socieconomic conditions for Mexican Americans.
