The Schlager Anthology of Hispanic America offers a modern, original sourcebook covering Hispanic American history from the 1100s to the present day. The set opens with documents from the pre-contact period, such as the Codex Mendoza as well as Hopi and Acoma Pueblo origin stories, before moving on to the Spanish Contact era, Spanish Borderlands and 19th century U.S. expansion, 20th-century civil rights documents, and ending with sources related to Latinos in 21st-century politics. While presenting the essential primary sources from Hispanic American history, from iconic figures such as César Chávez to court cases including Hernandez v. Texas, this anthology also emphasizes often-marginalized voices, from women to those in the LGBTQ community. In addition, document texts are abridged to remain brief and accessible, even to struggling readers (including ESL students), while activity questions range in difficulty from basic to more advanced. Edited by Aaron E. Sánchez (Homeland: Ethnic Mexican Belonging Since 1900) and featuring the contributions of numerous scholars, The Schlager Anthology of Hispanic America covers more than 150 milestone sources from Hispanic American history.
