ANGELEÑOS Featured by LA County Library

In the "My Library" feature of the September 2020 newsletter of the Los Angeles County Library Foundation, Ron Schuler's book Angeleños: L.A.'s Golden Age was featured in a piece on "Mexican American histories." Schuler observed that the availability of well-documented historical narratives on such inflection points in Mexican American history as the Bisbee Deportation of 1917, the 1931 La Placita Immigration Raid and even the Zoot Suit Riots is something that needs to be corrected in the public record of Southwestern American history. The piece, which also discussed Schuler's relationship with the County Library system during his youth, as well as the existence of the Los Angeles County Library Chicano Research Center, was accompanied by a photo of his mother and grandparents from the late 1940s.

Angeleños: L.A.'s Golden Age, Schuler's first novel, focuses on a Mexican American immigrant family and a Midwestern migrant family in Los Angeles during the 1920s, 30s and 40s. It is available in hardcover, paperback and kindle editions through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop.org, or through your local bookstore.
