This is a welcome entry for ethnic studies, a handbook that will save hours of leg work and frustrations to hundreds of researchers…. Topics included are not only people, places, and events, but laws, treaties, and organizations. … The individual entries are concise, clear, and logical, the longer ones indicate further readings, which is especially helpful. Seven appendices are attached, covering among others a complete chronology, a glossary of Chicano terminology, maps, statistics, and a bibliography. The book is indexed. The editors … supplied us with a much needed reference guide that should be a priority item on every librarian's acquisition list.
