Description

This text examines the regionalism by which many Northern Mexicans construct their sense of identity, the nationalism that often divides Mexican Americans from Mexican nationals, and the role of ethnicity in setting boundaries among Anglos, Mexicans and African Americans. Vila also looks at how gender, age, religion and class intertwine with these factors. He concludes with excerpts from re-interviews with several informants, who modified their views of other groups when confronted by the author with the narrative character of their identities.
