Lisbeth Haas draws on a diverse body of source materials (mission and court archives, oral histories, Spanish language plays, census and tax records) to build a new picture of rural society and social change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA borderlands and Chicano history, Haas's work provides a richly textured study of events that took place in and around San Juan Capistrano and Santa Ana in present-day Orange County. She provides a vivid sense of how and why the past acquires meaning in the lives that make up the historical identities she discusses. The voices of Juane and Luise Indians, Californios, and Mexicans are heard along the shifting faultlines of economic, social, and political change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is one of the first truly multiethnic histories of California and of the West. It makes clear that issues of multiculturalism and ethnicity are not recent manifestations in California-they have characterized social and cultural relationships there since the late eighteenth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisbeth Haas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520207041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520207042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 5.93w x 0.71d","brand":"Lisbeth Haas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056204804351,"sku":"9780520207042","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_69fae58b-cc68-4f6d-87ad-65357158262e.jpg?v=1685040074","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conquests-and-historical-identities-in-lisbeth-haas-9780520207042","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
