Originally published in the tumult of 1996, in an era of new nativism and panic about the Latinization of America,
Anything But Mexican solidified Rodolfo Acu�a’s place as ‘the W.E.B. Du Bois of Chicano Studies.’ A stirring, insightful chronicle of Los Angeles’s working class chicanos, this new edition brings their story and struggles up to present day.
