Based on presentations made at a conference held Sept. 11-12, 2003, sponsored by the University of California Institute for Mexico and the United States along with the UC Committee on Latino Research.--Acknowledgements. Numbering over a third of California's population and thirteen percent of the U.S. population, people of Mexican ancestry represent a hugely complex group with a long history in the country. Contributors explore a broad range of issues regarding California's ethnic Mexican population, including their concentration among the working poor and as day laborers ; their participation in various sectors of the educational system ; social problems such as domestic violence ; their contributions to the arts, especially music ; media stereotyping ; and political alliances and alignments.--P. [4] of cover.
