Border Citizens: The Making Of Indians, Mexicans, And Anglos In Arizona

Border Citizens: The Making of Indians, Mexicans, and Anglos in Arizona

Review"...[T]he book is a most welcome addition and deserves wide readership among American historians as well as ethnic studies specialists." (Journal of American History)"Border Citizens serves as a model for future borderlands scholarship... This text will serve as a doorway for students in courses on the West, Chicano/a history, and Native American history to engage each other's respective themes by looking at the way they affect, relate, and respond to other groups." (Pacific Historical Review)"Border Citizens is an exceptional work... While making a significant contribution to the historiography of Arizona and the Southwest, this book will appeal to anyone interested in Ethnic Studies, Native American Studies, Mexican American Studies, and Border Studies." (Journal of Arizona History)"Meeks has produced perhaps the definitive account of Southern Arizona's economic and political development while making a strong case for the absolute centrality of race in determining who benefited from these processes." (American Indian Culture and Research Journal)"[Meeks] uses an impressive array of sources and skillfully covers a wide range of issues within eight tightly woven chapters. He is most adept not only in describing Anglo stereotypes of Mexican Americans and Native Americans but also in carefully conveying ethnic Mexican and indigenous viewpoints
