Reviews Walls and Mirrors: Mexican Americans, Mexican Immigrants, and the Politics of Ethnicity (1995), by David G. Gutierrez; Minorities in Phoenix: A Profile ofMexican American, Chinese American, and African American Communities, 1860-1992 (1994), by Bradford Luckingham; Becoming Mexican American: Ethnicity, Culture andIdentity in Chicano Los Angeles, 1900-1945 (1993), by George J. Sanchez; Proletarians of the North: A History of Mexican Industrial Workers in Detroit and the Midwest, 1917-1933(1993), by Zaragosa Vargas; and The World of the Mexican Writer in Texas (1993), by Emilio Zamora.
