The newest volume of Perspectives in Mexican American Studies features articles by several new voices, and by others who have a long list of published works to their credit. They provide us with information of interest and offer fresh observations of the Mexican American experience. The authors include veterans of el movimiento, experienced scholars, and some who are newer on the scene. The topics covered, from sports in the Midwest to small-town life in central Mexico, may seem to have little in common except for their focus on Mexican-descent people, but on closer inspection, one can see that the idea of labor runs like an arroyo through the book.
