About this product

Product Information

Honorable Mention, Oliver Cromwell Cox Book Award, presented by the Racial and Ethnic Minorities Section of the American Sociological Association, 2015 With Mexican Americans constituting a large and growing segment of U.S. society, their assimilation trajectory has become a constant source of debate. Some believe Mexican Americans are following the path of European immigrants toward full assimilation into whiteness, while others argue that they remain racialized as nonwhite. Drawing on extensive interviews with Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants in Texas, Dowling's research challenges common assumptions about what informs racial labeling for this population. Her interviews demonstrate that for Mexican Americans, racial ideology is key to how they assert their identities as either in or outside the bounds of whiteness. Emphasizing the link between racial ideology and racial identification, Dowling offers an insightful narrative that highlights the complex and highly contingent nature of racial identity.

Dowling's text is a much needed addition to and intervention in the conversation of Latino racial identification that should be required reading for Sociology of Race and Latino Studies courses.

As described... A+++ on shipping and price... C (and that's being generous) on time. If you have forever and a month of Sundays to wait around then by all means do so. The price was great and the seller communicated wonderfully and the item was packed well so it wasn't damaged during transit all A pluses in my book just took a little bit longer than I anticipated.

  • Clearly laid out and thorough.

    The book was a well structured academic book that clearly outlined what it would cover and how. Very well organized. Many interview quotes to illustrate each point. My book had been heavily highlighted with blue and yellow as well as red ink pen comments and sections marked. That helped me speed through the book as I had only a few days to finish the book before our discussion group deadline.
