Mexican Americans' Role in the United States

Each Mexican American has a unique story. Some have lived on the land that is now America's Southwest for hundreds of years, longer than many Anglo-Americans. Others are more recent immigrants whose families moved north looking for opportunity and security. Some are here legally; some aren't. But almost all Mexican Americans are hardworking people who contribute to the American economy. What's more, they bring with them an ancient and vibrant heritage that enriches American culture. You may take for granted all the Mexican flavors that are part of your world. Mexican Americans are adding depth and diversity to many levels of American life, from sports to politics, religion to the arts, food to entertainment. As more and more Mexican Americans take their place in American society, they will inevitably have greater influence on America's culture as a whole. This book will help you appreciate the history, heritage, and culture of Mexican Americans. Along the way, you will be able to take a glimpse into the lives of this important group of Americans.
