The principal objective of this bibliography is to provide the beginning student in Chicano history a selective list of items useful to understanding each of the major historical periods from the Mexican American's origins to the present day. The bibliography is arranged chronologically to include: books; some Federal, state, and local governmental publications; periodicals; pamphlets; master's theses and doctoral dissertations. Three topical divisions supplement the chronological arrangement: labor and immigration; civil rights; and Chicano culture. The concluding section of the work is a bibliography of Mexican American bibliographies which is intended to be broader than "pura historia". (Author/KM)
