I have never heard of this before. Maybe the text book was a misprint.

O.O
Wow... some textbook. The only possible reason I can think of is that it might be a vernacular spelling of how someone would pronounce it. Is it inside of quotation marks?
Sounds like a crappy textbook to me...

I have not ever seen that in text books. I have, however, seen Mexican people referred to as 'Chicanos' in text books before.

I do not believe that there is such a book, unless there are quotes of what some individual people are saying.
