Although there has long been a vigorous Spanish-language press in the United States, Salazar was the first journalist of Mexican American background to cross over into mainstream English-language print media with his reporting for the Los Angeles Times during the 1960's. Salazar was also the first significant foreign correspondent of Mexican descent, and in 1969 he became the first Mexican American columnist for a major newspaper. Mario Garcia's introduction to this collection provides a biographical sketch of Salazar as well as a thoughtful evaluation of his significance to American journalism and to the history of the Mexican American community in California.Mexican AmericansSouthwest, NewMexican AmericansSouthwest, NewMexican-American Border RegionUnited StatesRelationsMexicoMexicoRelationsUnited StatesMexican AmericansMexican Americans972/.1Salazar Ruben1928-1232825García Mario T906108DLCDLCDLCBOOK9910496139503321Border correspondent2862649UNINA
