Synopsis
Until now, you’ve only heard one side of the story, about migrants crossing borders, drawn to the promise of a better life.
In reality, Mexicans were on this land long before any borders existed. Here’s the true story of America, from the Mexican American perspective.
The Mexican American story is usually carefully presented as a story of immigrants: migrants crossing borders, drawn to the promise of a better life.
In reality, Mexicans were on this land long before any borders existed.
Their culture and practices shaped the Southwestern part of this country, in spite of relentless attempts by white colonizers and settlers to erase them.
From missions and the Alamo to muralists, revolutionaries, and teen activists, this is the true story of the Mexican American experience.
The Race to the Truth series tells the true history of America from the perspective of different communities.
These books correct common falsehoods and celebrate underrepresented heroes and achievements.
They encourage readers to ask questions and to approach new information thoughtfully.
