Rudy Guevarra traces their earliest interactions under Spanish colonialism to illustrate how their historical ties and cultural bonds laid the foundation for what would become close inter-ethnic relationships and communities in twentieth-century San Diego as well as in other locales throughout California and the Pacific West Coast.
