Description: STUDIES IN RACIAL AND ETHNIC IDENTITY: MEXICAN AMERICANS ***** Historical and contemporary analyses of Mexican American social identity. Mexican Americans' current, political, social, and economic position will be traced back to their unique incorporation experience into the United States political economy. Questions of assimilation and marginality inform this experience, the Civil Rights Movement, known in the Southwest as "the Chicano Movement," constituting the primary point of departure.
