Abstract	This monograph provides a scholarly and comprehensive record of the history of Mexican Los Angeles, founded as a Spanish pueblo in 1781. Two centuries of history are covered from both a social and cultural perspective and are highlighted with more than 150 illustrations, photographs, and maps. Chapters focus on the city's Native American prehistory, early exploration, varied accounts of the founding of the city in 1781, and family portraits and chronology of the early years. Other chapters detail the growth, prosperity, and conflict of the Mexican national years; initial accommodations enabling cultural maintenance and community isolation; and development of the 20th-century Spanish press and new barrios of the early 1900s. Chapters also discuss changes during the depression and war years and the recent assertion of the city's Mexican community as a cultural and political force. Facts are carefully documented in each chapter and sources are cited in a 256-item bibliography. (NEC)
