Dos Mundos: Rural Mexican Americans, Another America

by Richard Baker

Mexican Americans make up the largest minority in Idaho, yet they seemingly live in a different world from the dominant Anglo population, and because of pervasive stereotypes and exclusive policies, their participation in the community's social, economic, and political life is continually impeded.

This unique ethnographic study of a small Idaho community with a large Hispanic population examines many dimensions of the impact race relations have on everyday life for rural Mexican Americans.

[Mark Pemble · Rating 1 out of 5]

After interviewing a handful of characters Richard interviewed in the early 90's, I can safely say this essay is deeply flawed. This book is a prime example of someone who came from the outside with pre-conceived ideas of the new America and who wrote using those pre-conceived ideas exclusively.
