Californios, Anglos, and the Performance of Oligarchy in the U.S. West

by Andrew Gibb

Gibb argues that the mid-nineteenth-century encounter between Anglos and californios resulted not only in the Americanization of California but also the "Mexicanization" of Americans. Employing performance studies methodologies in his analysis of everyday and historical events, Gibb traces how oligarchy evolved and developed in the region.
