Becoming Mexican American and Beyond

Join us this Sunday, October 9 from 11:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. at the Autry National Center to learn more about George Sanchez’s 1993 book, Becoming Mexican American: Ethnicity, Culture, and Identity in Chicano Los Angeles, 1900–1945. It is considered one of the seminal works on the formation of Latino ethnic identity and culture in pre-World War II Los Angeles. Scholars, educators, and others will join the author in a discussion of Latino ethnic identity in the United States, the impact of Sanchez’s book, and current issues surrounding ethnicity and immigration. The one-day conference is free with museum admission. For more information, visit the Autry’s website.
