How do they gain power in the community? \u003ci\u003eFrom Peones to Politicos\u003c\/i\u003e examines these questions in detail, focusing on the changes in Mexicano-Anglo relations in one small South Texas community called North Town. These changes are typical of evolving Mexicano-Anglo relations in much of Texas and the Southwest. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The authors divide their study into three historical periods: the rancho era (1900–1930), the colonia era (1930–1970), and the contemporary period (1970–1977). They trace how Mexicano-Anglo relations have evolved away from the extremely exploitative, paternalistic sharecropper system of the rancho era, when open racism, strict social segregation, and effective Anglo political machines prevailed. They reveal, by contrast, how Mexicanos have become a power to be reckoned with by developing their own economic and political leaders and ethnic political organizations and challenging the Anglo control of the city, school, and county governments. The study also shows how Mexican American family practices have been changed by this transformation of the local political economy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This revised edition of \u003ci\u003eFrom Peones to Politicos\u003c\/i\u003e presents updated fieldwork and additional discussion of class theory and the study of racial orders.
