Winner of the 2006 Thomas J. Lyon Book Award in Western American
Literary Studies, presented by the Western Literature
Association
"Offers an eloquent and compelling account of nineteenth and
twentieth century cultural production--one that resituates
Mexicanos at the center of thinking about U.S. nation-making during
the nineteenth century and beyond. . . . This stunning new text
promises to reshape literary and theoretical work in American
Studies."
--Mary Pat Brady, author of "Extinct Lands, Temporal Geographics:
Chicana Literature and the Urgency of Space"
"Discussions of Latino cultural citizenship and public culture
have a distinguished and stimulating lineage in the work of major
figures such as Renato Rosaldo, Rina Benmayour, and William Flores.
With his new book that introduces literary history into the
discussion, we must now add the name of John-Michael Rivera."
--JosA(c) E. LimA3n, author of "American Encounters: Greater
Mexico, the United States, and the Erotics of Culture"
In The Emergence of Mexican America, John-Michael Rivera
examines the cultural, political, and legal representations of
Mexican Americans and the development of US capitalism and
nationhood. Beginning with the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848
and continuing through the period of mass repatriation of US
Mexican laborers in 1939, Rivera examines both Mexican-American and
Anglo-American cultural production in order to tease out the
complexities of the so-called "Mexican question." Using historical
and archival materials, Rivera's wide-ranging objects of inquiry
include fiction, non-fiction, essays, treaties, legal materials,
politicalspeeches, magazines, articles, cartoons, and
advertisements created by both Mexicans and Anglo Americans.
Engaging and methodologically venturesome, Rivera's study is a
crucial contribution to Chicano/Latino Studies and fields of
cultural studies, history, government, anthropology, and literary
studies.
