Mexican Americans: Labeling and Mislabeling.
Lampe, Philip E.
Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v6 n1 p77-85 Mar 1984
To facilitate comparisons between studies of those who have ancestral ties to Mexico and to aid in accumulation of knowledge, some agreement must be reached among social scientists and a common terminology be adopted. A proposed terminology differentiates between Mexicans, Mexican Americans, Mexicanos, Chicanos, Latinos, Latin Americans, and American Mexicans. (Author/MH)
