Reviews

In The Chicano Movement: Perspectives from the 21st Century, Mario Garcia gathers the newest scholarship on this important series of events. What emerges is a broader view of the Chicano movement that allows us to see its limits and reach. This book offers a fresh take on the Chicano movement from young, promising scholars, who will shape our understanding of this phenomenon for years to come. Anyone interested in Latino life and culture in the present, must read this book about the recent past, which challenges us to envision a more emancipatory future. - Ernesto Chavez, author of !Mi Raza Primero! (My People First): Nationalism, Identity, and Insurgency in the Chicano Movement in Los Angeles, 1966-1978 The authors in this volume offer new insights on the impact of Chicano Movement activism on localized struggles. Fresh perspectives on the Movement's legacy emerge from case studies of Chicano/a advocacy for electoral power and the rights of immigrant women, students, welfare mothers, and laborers in rural and urban settings. - Christine Marie Sierra, co-editor of Chicana Voices: Intersections of Class, Race, and Gender This work increases our knowledge of lesser-known but important individuals, organizations and peripheral communities that proved critical to the expansion of the Chicano Movement's activism. It also introduces us to previously ignored topics in Movement studies. A must-read book for those interested in Chicano civil rights. - Ignacio M. Garcia, author of Chicanismo: The Forging of a Militant Ethos Among Mexican Americans
