From the dust jacket: "Twentieth-century Los Angeles has been the locus of one of the most profound and complex interactions between distinct cultures in U.S. history. This study is one the first to examine the evolving relationship between ethnicity and identity among the Mexican Americans, the largest immigrant group to that city. Focusing on Mexican immigrants to Los Angeles from 1900 to 1945, George J. Sánchez explores the process by which temporary sojourners altered their orientation to that of 'permanent residents,' thereby laying the foundation for a new Mexican-American culture. Analyzing not only formal programs of acculturation aimed at these newcomers by the United States and Mexico, but also the world created through family networks, religious practice, musical entertainment, work experiences, and consumption patterns, Sánchez uncovers the creative ways Mexicans adapted their culture to life in the United States… When a formal repatriation campaign pushed thousands to return to Mexico, those remaining in Los Angeles launched new campaigns to gain civil rights as ethnic Americans through labor unions and New Deal politics… [Sánchez] concludes that it was [in the early 20th century] that the immigrant generation laid both the cultural and civic groundwork for the emerging Mexican-American identity of their children." .
