"""A careful and scholarly work which manages at the same time to display a humane and respectful attitude towards the community it is examining.""--Annella McDermott, Bulletin of Hispanic Studies ""Well-documented yet animated discussion of forces that affected Chicano community--labor, family, women--Offers lively analysis and discussion, and sees culture as transformational, not static.""--Daniel Morena, California State University, Long Beach ""Excellent source, not only on... gender-class-ethnicity in the modern U.S. West, but also because part of the research was conducted here in Weld County, Colorado.""--Michael Welsh, University of Northern Colorado ""An important and much needed contribution to the growing historical literature on Chicano workers.""--Zaragosa Vargas, International Labor and Working Class History ""Excellent source on several topics: women, the Southwest, Hispanic history.""-- Michael Welsh, Univ. of Northern Colorado ""Unique....highly original interpretations...yield first rate revisionist scholarship. As a social history monograph, the book is thoroughly documented and skillfully organized, and the interpretive insights should encourage social theorists of migration, gender, and community to recast many assumptions.""--Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo, International Migration Review ""The research is thorough; the scholarship is impressive....The book has implications beyond the Southwest.""--Paul H. Carlson, The Historian ""A marvelous social history....No Separate Refuge sparkles with historical and geographical insight and creativity....a marvel.""--Richard L. Nostrand, Journal of Historical Geography ""Impressive....An important book that merits the attention of scholars in southwestern, frontier, and community history as well as those in women's studies and in the various social sciences.""--Sandra L. Myres, Southwestern Historical Quarterly ""In an extremely well organized and lucid study, Deutsch traces Southwestern Hispanics, as their migrations expand community and produce several different cultural frontiers....Gracefully written....her synthesis maps out a cultural motif that brings new meaning to the contours of western history.""--Anne M. Butler, Reviews in American History"
