ABSTRACT In 1900 140,000 Hispanos lived in a Homeland that stretched through parts of five southwestern states and covered an area the size of Utah. Hispanos constituted two-thirds of the Homeland's population and Anglos accounted for most of the rest. Three fundamentally different zones existed: an innermost “Stronghold”(90–100 percent Hispano) where Hispanos were socially and politically dominant, a largely middle-ground “Inland”(50–90 percent Hispano) where non-Hispano intruders had been attracted by Hispanos and shared the economic wealth and political control, and a peripheral “Outland”(10–50 percent Hispano) where Hispanos had been attracted by Anglo economic opportunity and were residentially segregated.
