DESCRIPTION:"The Devil in Silicon Valley: Northern California, Race and Mexican 
 Americans" by Stephen Pitti, a book reading.\nMr. Pitti has made an 
 important contribution in discovering the hidden history of Silicon Valley 
 and Northern California. The first multi-nationals in California in fact 
 used Indian slave labor to mine cinnabar in New Almaden and these stories 
 keep coming. Another description is at 
 http://press.princeton.edu/titles/7386.html as follows:  "This sweeping 
 history explores the growing Latino presence in the United States over the 
 past two hundred years. It also debunks common myths about Silicon Valley, 
 one of the world's most influential but least-understood places. Far more 
 than any label of the moment, the devil of racism has long been Silicon 
 Valley's defining force, and Stephen Pitti argues that ethnic 
 Mexicans--rather than computer programmers--should take center stage in any 
 contemporary discussion of the "new West."" \n\n
