Lyon Book Award in Western American Literary Studies, presented by the Western Literature AssociationIn The Emergence of Mexican America, John-Michael Rivera examines the cultural, political, and legal representations of Mexican Americans and the development of US capitalism and nationhood. Beginning with the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848 and continuing through the period of mass repatriation of US Mexican laborers in 1939, Rivera examines both Mexican-American and Anglo-American cultural production in order to tease out the complexities of the so-called ?Mexican question.? Using historical and archival materials, Rivera's wide-ranging objects of inquiry include fiction, non-fiction, essays, treaties, legal materials, political speeches, magazines, articles, cartoons, and advertisements created by both Mexicans and Anglo Americans. Engaging and methodologically venturesome, Rivera's study is a crucial contribution to Chicano/Latino Studies and fields of cultural studies, history, government, anthropology, and literary studies. 410 0$aCritical America. 606 $aMexican Americans$xEthnic identity 606 $aMexican Americans$xHistory 606 $aMexican Americans$xCultural assimilation 615 0$aMexican Americans$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xHistory. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xCultural assimilation. 676 $a305.868/72073 700 $aRivera$b John-Michael$f1969-$01518891 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778103603321 996 $aThe emergence of Mexican America$93842444 997 $aUNINA
