"Despite local emphasis on the early Spanish and Mexican history of Utah — particularly the Dominguez-Escalante expedition of 1776-77 — the establishment of an energetic Mexican-American culture has been a twentieth-century phenomenon. That culture varies from those developed in other states of the Southwest, perhaps because of population density. New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona have substantially larger Mexican-American populations and a greater attachment to Mexican culture. Additionally, many Southwest communities are continuously rejuvenated by immigration. Much of the history of Utah's Spanish speaking peoples has been chronicled. It is time now to look at the culture more specifically and see how it has changed and why it developed differently in Utah." [Author]
