| Abstract | Demographic data on the Chicano in Utah and their position relative to various public agencies were gathered. Focus was on the number of Chicanos serving as staff in the agencies; to what degree the agencies served the Chicanos in meeting their needs for a self-sufficient life style; how the Spanish speaking perceived their needs and the ability of the agencies to serve them; and how the agencies perceived the Chicano clients. Four sets of factors were used to identify the imposition of internal colonialism on Chicanos: external administration; the group's mode of entry into the dominant society; cultural impact, an altering of colonized people's institutions; and racism. Data were obtained from social service agencies--family services, assistance payments, vocational rehabilitation, and employment security; and educational agencies--public elementary and secondary schools. Four regions were selected on the basis of 3 criteria: at least 1,000 Chicanos resided there; the region provided a geographic cross-section of the entire state; the region had a divergent economic base, thus allowing for a comparison of Chicanos in rural and in urban circumstances. Data were also obtained from 9 school districts, enrolling 64% of the state's Chicano students during 1972-73. Among the findings were that: the social service agency failed to help the Chicano client toward occupational stability and economic absorption and integration; only 6% of the agency staff were Spanish surnamed.
