"Mirande's major contribution in The Chicano Experience is his proposal of a new perspective that provides for an alternative interpretation of Chicano socio-history, social status, and culture." —Journal of American Ethnic History[Mirande's] sophisticated discussion of the interrelationship of scholarly models and cultural pluralism will be of value to all students of American culture." —American Studies"This is a very interesting book because the subject is interesting, because the treatment of the subject is interesting, and because it is in reality an invitation to sympathy for the Chicano." —Social Science Quarterly"[The Chicano Experience] offers an understanding of social, cultural, and economic forces shaping the situation of Chicanos—a context absent from much of what has been written about them." —Choice"Rejecting the use of 'Mexican-American' as falsely connoting immigrant status, Mirande emphasizes that Chicanos are an indigenous people and that their significant indio/mestizo heritage has been neglected. Attaching the immigrant group model which concentrates on acculturation and assimilation, he discusses Chicano labor, criminality, education, the church, the family, and machismo ... an interesting and thought-provoking study." —Library Journal
