Matt S. Meier’s revised study traces Mexican American history from the era of the conquistadors to the Chicano experience. Its account extends into the late 1960s and 1970s, covering the Chicano Movimiento alongside political and economic developments, immigration law, literature and fine arts, and the growing role of Chicanas. The book also discusses four prominent leaders. Published in 1994, this edition offers a historical perspective on changes in the community in the years leading up to its publication.
