Anything But Mexican

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.
