This book is a vivid account of the protest and violent resistance of mexicano residents of the United States against Anglo-American encroachment and domination in Texas, New Mexico, and California from 1848 to 1916. Rosenbaum focuses on specific episodes of resistance and analyzes them in the contexts of mexicano resistance in general, of the major cultural differences between Anglo Americans and the former citizens of Mexico, and of ethnic and cultural diversity in the United States. This is a history from the "bottom up, " using oral history and mexicano folk-songs along with a wide range of local documents, archival materials, and Spanish-language newspapers to shed light on the motivations of groups of people who left few written records.
