This paper focuses on the dynamism inherent in interethnic relationships and proposes an explanatory taxonomy. Three sets of binary variables are utilized: ingroup/outgroup ethnic ascription, symmetric/asymmetric power relations, and same/different specialized environments. Four types of interethnic relationships result: complementary, competitive, conflicting, and colonial. This scheme is then used to analyze the variability of the Mexican/Anglo/Mexican American interface from a historical perspective. [ethnicity, colonialism, Mexican Americans, conflict‐theory, acculturation]
