Trade Review
"Pitti is a scholar with an eye for the telling detail and a passion for social justice that turns his monograph into both a saga and a manifesto."--Jonathan Kirsch, Los Angeles Times Book Review "Pitti's book ... serves to correct a Mexican American historiography that has focused almost exclusively on southern California. Pitti argues that northern California has been too dynamic economically to be ignored by historians of ethnic minorities. His analysis focuses on the entwining of economic development, racism, and the formation of racialized Mexican communities over two centuries."--Donna R. Gabaccia, American Historical Review
