Complete with over 200 vintage photographs, Latinos in Pasadena chronicles the legacies of Mexican Americans and other Latino men and women who lived and worked in Pasadena.  The Latino community has been an integral part of the San Gabriel Valley, and here is a book that gives it its rich due.
In Pasadena 1940 - 2008, Patrick Conyers explores a tumultuous time in the city's history.  Since 1940, Pasadena has experienced seismic shifts, both literally and figuratively. The postwar suburban explosion touched the city with new homes, new jobs and new worldviews shaping the coming of age of a municipality known for its hospitality, science, culture and good weather. This book is a companion to Arcadia Publishing's Early Pasadena.
