24th Reading - East LA History

 I think I got the suggestion for this book from another book or from GMAT questions. It is based on a university research, so the language is a little dense and it was a lot of data, numbers, dates, names of historical figures and everything. It was very interesting to learn a little bit more about L.A. history, how the city came to be from the Mexican colonization to the gold-rush after the American conquest. The book focuses on the inequalities and discriminations faced by Mexicans throughout L.A.’s History. I recommend if you are interested in the topic, it requires some time and concentration to go through the dense reading.
