Abstract
Chicanos have systematically faced a type of racism and discrimination in the United States not very different from that experienced in the territories colonized by the European countries. Legal intimidation, among other things, has helped to consider this minority as an internally colonized people. U.S. police forces and magistrates have premeditatedly intimidated and administered a biased justice to this minority with a clear goal: Keeping Mexican Americans as an internally colonized group. The reality of an internal colony presents Chicano authors, and New Mexican writer Rudolfo Anaya is not an exception, with a great variety of examples to re-create legal intimidation in their works
