A propos de cet article

University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln, NE. 2000. Hardcover. First Edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked but for a remainder mark on the textblock bottom edge. Book Condition: Fine. DJ: Near Fine; light rubbing to panels. Blue cloth boards and spine with bright gilt lettering and borders on spine. 305 pp 8vo. Gold!

Navarro accompanied the workers to Stockton and began prospecting. Gold Rush California was a rough and tumble world where finding gold—and keeping it—was not a simple matter. Navarro encountered people from all over the world brought together in a society marked by racial and ethnic intolerance, swift and cruel justice, and great hardships. It was a world of contrasts, where the roughest of the rough lived in close proximity to extremely refined cultural circles. Despite his planning, Navarro had not reckoned on the racism he would encounter. He witnessed several instances of Anglo miners harassing Latinos and other ethnic groups. After three years without success, Navarro returned to South America. He became a national representative in the Argentinean congress and worked as a journalist. He never returned to California. A clean very presentable copy.…
