Lyon Book Award in Western American Literary Studies, presented by the Western Literature Association\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cb\u003eThe Emergence of Mexican America\u003c\/b\u003e, John-Michael Rivera examines the cultural, political, and legal representations of Mexican Americans and the development of US capitalism and nationhood. Beginning with the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848 and continuing through the period of mass repatriation of US Mexican laborers in 1939, Rivera examines both Mexican-American and Anglo-American cultural production in order to tease out the complexities of the so-called “Mexican question.” Using historical and archival materials, Rivera's wide-ranging objects of inquiry include fiction, non-fiction, essays, treaties, legal materials, political speeches, magazines, articles, cartoons, and advertisements created by both Mexicans and Anglo Americans. Engaging and methodologically venturesome, Rivera's study is a crucial contribution to Chicano\/Latino Studies and fields of cultural studies, history, government, anthropology, and literary studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55209217884534,"sku":"9780814775578","price":130.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27334887.jpg?v=1738227651","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780814775578-the-emergence-of-mexican-america","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
