Book Review

Negotiating Conquest: Gender and Power in California, 1770s to 1880s. By Miroslava Chávez-García. (Tucson: University of Arizona Press, 2004. xxvii + 240 pp. Illustration, map, tables, glossary, notes, bibliography, index. $39.95.)

Compared to other regions of the West, the study of Mexican-era California has suffered from neglect. It is neither part of the Mexican national story, nor that of the United States, and is too easily dismissed as an irrelevant prologue to a state history of economic boom, massive immigration, and suburban sprawl. Miroslava Chávez-García's welcomed new work, Negotiating Conquest, insists that we pay attention to Mexican and Native women of this era and to the relevance of their lives and struggles across the nineteenth century.
