Five Generations of a Mexican American Family in Los Angeles
Despite their citizenship and English monolingualism, Mexican Americans have long been known to remain largely working class, which, academically, has meant that they tend to be mostly high school graduates, with low rates of college attendance and completion. Attempting to understand this phenomenon, Five Generations of a Mexican American Family in Los Angeles chronicles the home, work and school lives of the author's multigenerational family throughout the twentieth century. Using oral histories of 33 members across five generations, the Fuentes story illuminates the interaction between race, ethnicity and class at home, in the labor market and in schools, which circumscribe the opportunit...

American Families
In the past forty years, American families have become more racially and ethnically diverse than ever before. Different family forms and living arrangements have also multiplied, with single-parent families, cohabiting couples with children, divorced couples with children, stepfamilies, and newly-visible same-sex families.

Were You Born Stupid? Tales of an Hispanic-American Family
"Were you born stupid?" is a phrase I often heard my father ask me as the eldest of his seven children. This is a memoir of what now seems an enchanted childhood, written through a boy's eyes, set in the 1950's through 70's, while growing up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. It relates the trials and triumphs of a large Hispanic family, a life abundantly joyful, at times brutal. Father was often away at work and missed out on much of the interaction between my mother, brother and sisters. Mother, who never wanted any children in the first place, was stuck at home with this large brood. Sometimes she locked us out of the house the entire day (and commanded us "go play") for some peace and quiet, while she cleaned our home and polished the floors. Though we grew up poor, we came to appreciate the things we did have-a close family being the most important. It didn't require alot of money. I hope to convey how rich, full, and blessed life has been for the familia Franco, something that could only happen in America
