â€œThe Squatter and the Don, like its author, has come out a survivor,â€ notes Ana Castillo in her Introduction. â€œThe fact that it has resurfaced after more than a century from its original publication is a testimony to its worthiness.â€ Inviting comparison to Uncle Tomâ€™s Cabin, MarÃa Amparo Ruiz de Burtonâ€™s illuminating political novel is also an engaging historical romance. Set in San Diego shortly after the United Statesâ€™ annexation of California and written from the point of view of a native Californio, the story centers on two families: the Alamars of the landed Mexican gentry, and the Darrells, transplanted New Englandersâ€“and their tumultuous struggles over property, social status, and personal integrity.

This Modern Library Paperback Classic is set from the first edition of 1885.

Ana Castillo is a poet, essayist, and novelist whose works include the recent poetry collection I Ask the Impossible and the novel Peel My Love Like an Onion. She lives in Chicago and teaches at DePaul University.
