It came in great condition even though it was a used textbook. a little watered damage but nothing that would interfere with the actual text in the book. the book itself is great to have if you're interested in Chicano history, it goes into great detail through different time periods. a must have for anyone interested in Chicano culture and history.

Navarro predicts that by 2015 half of California will be Brown. By 2025 half of the southwest is going to be Brown. He states that we might have to change the White House to the Brown House. This book underlynies the policital forces that prevent and have prevented Mexicans from taking polictical control.

Armando Navarro has written a comprehensive political history of the Mexicano in American society. It is difficult reading for some (see other reviews), yet no legitimate historian can argue with the research, the insights and the accuracy of much of what is said here. Rather than a "patriotic" or simply an "adversarial history", Navarro has written a nuanced analysis of what it has been to be Mexican in American society. While some may disagree with his recommendations, they will be hard put to find a better chronicling of this history. Navarro will rank among the best of U.S. scholars of color, and will be known for a long time as one of the most prolific and influential Chicano scholars of all time. Move over Norm Chomsky, Howard Zinn and Rudy Acuna.

I am a Chicano and I am insulted by this garbage. It is not what we Mexican American really believe. The author must not be very educated. He is clearly a biggot. Is he really a professor?

Why is it that biggots like him are able to recite hateful, racist crap against the USA and California, yet we the poor dupes who he is rantig about are stuck paying this biggot's six-figure salary? This is what is wrong with America today. If a European-American were to even come close to making a suggestion, let alone toss out the biggotry that this creep does, that insinuates racism, they would be out on their arse.

I am an American, citizen of the USA, a patriot, and my ethnic heritage is Mexican and Spanish. This racist, hate-crime committing pig gives everyone the impression that because of my ethnic heritage, I MUST have the same warped values. He adds fuel to the racist fires. He should be fired. And if all of us "Mexicans" or "Chicanos" really had such a terrible time here in the USA, then why are there so many pouring over the boarders every minute of every day? And, why does Navarro stay? Probably because this is the only country that would allow an Archie Bunker type jerk like him to make over 100,000 a year - paid for by the people he is rallying hate against!

The Minutemen are outstanding citizens, who not only keep our boarders safer, they are risking their lives.
