"Menchaca has accomplished an unprecedented tour de force in this sweeping historical overview and interpretation of the racial formation and racial history of Mexican Americans." -- Antonia I. Castaneda, Associate Professor of History, St. Mary's University
Martha Menchaca is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin.
At the core of [Recovering History, Constructing Race] is the
racialization process that has taken place to define Mexican
Americans in the US, which ignores and erases the historical
Indigenous, Black, and/or European ancestry of persons of Mexican
descent.
