A bestseller when it was published in 1970 at the height of the Mexican-American civil rights movement, Chicano unfolds the fates and fortunes of the Sandoval family, who flee the chaos and poverty of the Mexican Revolution and begin life anew in the United States.

Mexicans are simultaneously the largest minority in the United States and the forgotten native in the Black and White World of the Southwest, specifically Northern Mexico. The Chicano Treatise is an initialization at reclaiming a lost spirit that has lingered for almost five centuries since Spain’s conquest of Mexico. This work, more than just history, is a treatise on gender relationships, families, and failures of the Chicano liberation movement.

Although Mexican Americans comprise the United States’ second largest minority group, most studies have provided only a historical perspective on Chicano issues. In contrast, Toward A Chicano Social Science presents an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Mexican Americans, incorporating race relations theory to analyze the sociohistorical conditions of Chicanos in contemporary society. A special feature of the book is its focus on Chicanos and gender roles within Chicano life, a topic often neglected in other texts. Written at the undergraduate level, Blea’s text provides a

In this book of political fiction, the author is trying to convey a message to the Latino people of this country and at the same time attempting to unmask the ugly face of racism as it exists today in the U.S., not only for Chicanos but also for other minorities in America. He presents and counters all those false stigmas that have been laid at the feet of the Chicanos and Latinos of this country. He presents the absurdity of the Chicanos and immigrants from Mexico being called aliens, illegal, and wetbacks. He also addresses the biases in our legal system and how laws are used as vehicles
