Barrera identifies the goals of the Mexican American population at large--community and equality--and lays out the complicated history of achieving these goals throughout the 20th century. As focus has shifted to equality over community, the Mexican American cultural identity has fragmented and begun to erode.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarrera explores varied trends, such as the revival of community identity during the Chicano Movement, as well as cultural fragmentation and radicalization. To fully understand and answer the question of economic equality over cultural identity, Barrera looks at minorities in four other countries to compare to the United States: Canada, China, Switzerland, and Nicaragua. He argues that while equality is not easy to attain and even harder to hold onto, a group can still preserve cultural identity while being treated as equals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mario Barrera\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 026804855X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268048556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Mario Barrera","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48435346899199,"sku":"9780268048556","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d286e07a-6c72-4c01-95df-17bc7c849ade.jpg?v=1777149804","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-aztlan-mario-barrera-9780268048556","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
