He persuasively argues that the rapidly expanding Mexican American integration into the mainstream is changing not only how Americans think about race but also how we envision our nation. Brilliantly reasoned, highly thought provoking, and as historically sound as it is anecdotally rich, \u003ci\u003eMongrels, Bastards, Orphans, and Vagabonds\u003c\/i\u003e is a major contribution to the discussion of the cultural and political future of the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGregory Rodriguez\u003c\/b\u003e studied the sociology of the Latinization of California at UCLA.
