Notes

1. Notable exceptions are Ernesto Galarza's Merchants of Labor (Santa Barbara, 1964) and Leo Grebler's Mexican Immigration to the United States: The Record and Its Implications (Los Angeles, 1965).

2. In 1900, 57 percent of the Spanish-surnamed male heads of household in Santa Barbara were unskilled workers; in 1930, 56 percent were in this category. For non-Hispanics, the figures were 14 percent and 11 percent, respectively (pp. 173–80).

3. Interesting studies of different areas include Douglas E. Foley et al, From Peones to Políticos: Ethnic Relations in a South Texas Town, 1900–1977 (Austin, 1977) and Oscar J. Martínez, Border Boom Town: Ciudad Juárez since 1848 (Austin, 1975).

4. Raul A. Fernandez, The United States-Mexico Border (Notre Dame, 1977), J. Craig Jenkins, “The Demand for Immigrant Workers: Labor Scarcity or Social Control?” (International Migration Review 12 [Winter 1978]:514-35), and Robert L. Bach, “Mexican Immigration and the American State” (International Migration Review 12 [Winter 1978]:536-58) have done more in this area.
