Some believe Mexican Americans are following the path of European immigrants toward full assimilation into whiteness, while others argue that they remain racialized as nonwhite. Drawing on extensive interviews with Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants in Texas, Dowling?s research challenges common assumptions about what informs racial labeling for this population. Her interviews demonstrate that for Mexican Americans, racial ideology is key to how they assert their identities as either in or outside the bounds of whiteness. Emphasizing the link between racial ideology and racial identification, Dowling offers an insightful narrative that highlights the complex and highly contingent nature of racial identity. 606 $aMexican Americans$xRace identity 606 $aMexican Americans$xSocial conditions 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 615 0$aMexican Americans$xRace identity. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xSocial conditions. 676 $a305.868/72073 700 $aDowling$b Julie A.$f1975-$01559874 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789153403321 996 $aMexican Americans and the question of race$93850628 997 $aUNINA
