In this study, covering the Spanish colonial period to the present day, Martha Menchaca delves deeply into interethnic relations in Santa Paula, California, to document how the residential, social, and school segregation of Mexican-origin people became institutionalized in a representative California town.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMenchaca lived in Santa Paula during the 1980s, and interviews with residents add a vivid human dimension to her book. She argues that social segregation in Santa Paula has evolved into a system of social apartness--that is, a cultural system controlled by Anglo Americans that designates the proper times and places where Mexican-origin people can socially interact with Anglos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis first historical ethnographic case study of a Mexican-origin community will be important reading across a spectrum of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, race and ethnicity, Latino studies, and American culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martha Menchaca\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292751745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292751743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.02w x 0.71d","brand":"Martha Menchaca","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946390651135,"sku":"9780292751743","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_28b0ef5a-1e3e-4771-8d5f-f4e9970a8250.jpg?v=1681512877","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mexican-outsiders-martha-menchaca-9780292751743","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
