MexicanAmericans could not point to a comprehensive analysis of their problems comparable to Gunnar Myrdals "An American Dilemma." At about the same time. an academic group at the University of California. Los Angeles. began to explore the MexicanAmerican population and its problems. This group was led by Dr. Leo Grebler. a wellknown economist and professor at the UCLA Graduate School of Business Administration.

Who were these Mexicans?
