Toward A Chicano Social Science

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 thorough analysis of both theoretical and applied issues, which will aid students and professors of Chicano, ethnic, and women's studies, sociology and social work.Irene I. Blea is the author of 'Toward A Chicano Social Science', published 1988 under ISBN 9780275925314 and ISBN 0275925315.
