The Virgin of El Barrio
A thorough ethnography that sweeps the reader into the world of Marian visionary Estela Ruiz, her family and followers, and the evangelizing ministries they have created in South Phoenix.
Ethnicity and Assimilation
This is a study of the main ethnic groups in California and is the only study that offers a direct comparison of these various ethnic groups.

Other chapters similarly emphasize infrastructure, covering each groups demographic composition, intermarriage rates, residential segregation, and labor force characteristics. Few analyses of census data have so self-consciously incorporated historical material in order to help elucidate statistical results and provide an integrated and comparative view of ethnicity in American society.
