THE SQUATTER AND THE DON
The Squatter and the Don by María Amparo Ruiz de Burton is a powerful novel that explores the clash between cultures, class, and power in 19th-century California. Set against the backdrop of the post-Mexican-American War, it chronicles the lives of two main characters, Juan José, the “Don,” and the squatter who encroaches on his land. The story intertwines themes of land rights, racial tensions, and the social dynamics of the time, as it delves into the complexities of Mexican-American identity during a period of profound change.
