Decline of the Californios: A Social History of the Spanish-Speaking Californias, 1846-1890

In his enduring study of Spanish-speaking Californiansâ€”a group that includes both native-born Californians, or Californios, and immigrants from Mexicoâ€”Leonard Pitt charts one of the earliest chapters in the state's ethnic history, and, in the process, he sheds light on debates and tensions that continue to this day. In a new foreword for this edition, RamÃ³n A. GutiÃ©rrez discusses the shaping and reception of the book and also views this classic work in light of recent scholarship on California and ethnic history.
