From Peones to Politicos: Class and Ethnicity in a South Texas Town, 1900-1987

by Donald Post, Douglas E. Foley, Clarice Mota, et al.

How does a relatively powerless ethnic group deal with the problems of economic inequality and racial discrimination? How do they gain power in the community? From Peones to Politicos examines these questions in detail, focusing on the changes in Mexicano-Anglo relations in one small South Texas community called North Town. These changes are typical of evolving Mexicano-Anglo relations in much of Texas and the Southwest.
