*Culture of Empire: American Writers, Mexico, and Mexican Immigrants, 1880–1930*. By Gilbert G. González. (Austin: University of Texas Press, 2004. viii + 245 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $50.00, £38.00, cloth; $22.95, £17.50, paper.)
Culture of Empire is the latest in a series of works by Gilbert González regarding the formation of Chicano society and history. This work builds on his research framework on Chicano educational history and applies it to the impact of American travel literature upon Mexicans and Mexican Americans. González argues that the impact of American Imperialism on Mexican immigrants was mediated through expository writing by American authors about Mexico in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century.	1
Five chapters examine U. S. economic domination of Mexico and how U. S. writers created a Culture of Empire. González analyzes the influence of this literature on U. S. attitudes toward educational policies for Mexican immigrants and children by American public institutions, the Americanization programs, and in U. S. foreign policies.	. . .
