Today, Latinos and Latinas represent 18 per cent of the US population. Mexicanos. Mexican origin inhabitants continue to constitute the majority of this spiraling demographic. And the account offered here is the story of their history and current status. Their accomplishments and failures. The field of Latina Latino studies of which the history of Mexicanos is an integral part has been prospering on college campuses across the country since the turn of the century. In the discipline of history. This success reflects not only favorable demographic changes but also the firm foundation established by pioneers such as the historians, Rodolfo Acuna Juan Gomez Quinonez and Richard Griswald del Castillo. High academic achievement has continued under their successors, established researchers and teachers like Vicky Ruiz Jorge J Sanchez and Dina Gonzalez. It is the second generation of professors who today direct the Latina Latino studies programs and centers on most college campuses across the country. Now, almost 40 years after the birth of ethnic studies, a third generation of historians has emerged in the discipline like their predecessors. They continue to do pioneering work in excavating the Hispanic past. They have made many valuable contributions to the field. Notably in the study of Mujeres. The latest generation of Latina Latino scholars is more fully integrated into the academic establishment than their predecessors had been a positive trend in my view. But one that has drawn occasional criticism.
