The Squatter and the Don - (Mint Editions (Historical Fiction)) by María Amparo Ruiz de Burton (Paperback)

The Squatter and the Don is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of identity, culture, and politics in post-Mexican American War California.

Through the lens of the Alamar family, this book delves into the struggles of Californios who find themselves caught between their cultural heritage and the rapidly changing political landscape.

As the Alamars navigate the challenges of assimilation and prejudice, they become entwined with the Darrells, a settler family, in a tale of romance and political intrigue. With its richly detailed characters and vivid depiction of 19th-century California, The Squatter and the Don is a masterful exploration of the human experience during a time of great social and cultural upheaval.

This classic of Mexican American literature has been reimagined for modern readers with a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the complexities of identity, culture, and politics in America.
