In Search of the Mexican Beverly Hills

"By uncovering the hidden story of how Mexican Americans came to dominate the East Los Angeles suburbs, González not only offers much-needed insight into the postwar Mexican American experience, but also bridges Chicana/o and suburban history in critical and heretofore unexplored ways."

~Monica Perales, author of Smeltertown: Making and Remembering a Southwest Border Community

"González has produced a definitive work on the Mexican American suburban experience, full of nuance and surprises, and demanding a deep rethinking of the meaning of the American suburban dream."

~Becky Nicolaides, author of My Blue Heaven: Life and Politics in the Working-Class Suburbs of Los Angeles, 1920-1965

"Documents how Mexican-Americans came to be the majority population in the suburban San Gabriel Valley."
