The Mexican and Chicana/o residents of San Diego have a long, complicated, and rich history that has been largely ignored. This collection of essays shows how the Spanishspeaking people of this border city have created their own cultural spaces. Sensitive to issues of genderand paying special attention to political, economic, and cultural figures and eventsthe contributors explore what is unique about San Diegos Mexican American history.In chronologically ordered chapters, scholars discuss how Mexican and Chicana/o people have resisted and accommodated the increasingly Anglooriented culture of the region. The books early chapters recount the historical origins of San Diego and its development through the midnineteenth century, describe the American colonization that followed, and include examples of Latino resistance that span the twentieth centuryfrom early workers strikes to the United Farm Workers movement of the 1960s. Later chapters trace the Chicana/o Movement in the community and in the arts; the struggle against the gentrification of the barrio; and the growth of community organizing (especially around immigrants rights) from the perspective of a community organizer.To tell this sweeping story, the contributors use a variety of approaches. Testimonios retell individual lives, ethnographies relate the stories of communities, and historical narratives uncover what has previously been ignored or discounted. The result is a unique portrait of a marginalized population that has played an important but neglected role in the development of a major American border city.
