Abstract
The demographic changes affecting America's ethnic populations are a reminder that history is in constant flux. In particular, the Latina/o population is seeing its social and political influence grow, especially in the Midwest. How will mainstream America deal with this new reality? As politicians struggle over this issue, Chicana/o scholars are also finding that past definitions no longer fit today's academic environment. Voices of a New Chicanalo History, an informative and stimulating compilation of fourteen essays, represents this new historical debate. Edited by Refugio I. Rochfn and Dennis N. Valdes, the volume brings together a diverse group of Chicana/o scholars who drew inspiration from the conference "Towards a New Chicana/o History" held at Michigan State University in April 1996. Grouped in five distinct and useful categories, Voices grapples with the question of exactly what constitutes Chicana/o history and what directions should it take.
