Book Synopsis
Originally published in the tumult of 1996, in an era of new nativism and panic about the Latinization of America, Anything But Mexican solidified Rodolfo Acuña's place as "the W.E.B. Du Bois of Chicano Studies." A stirring, insightful chronicle of Los Angeles's working class chicanos, this new edition brings their story and struggles up to present day.

Trade Review
"Anything But Mexican challenges neoliberal interpretations of the history of Los Angeles which blame Mexicans and other immigrants of color for the decline of the city. Acuna's provocative work confronts these historical myths, signalling that Latinos will not be dismissed." Deena Gonzalez, Pomona College "Required reading on Chicanos in the Southwest. This book will stand amongst the classics in Chicano Studies." Teresa Cordova, University of New Mexico
