The Chicano Movement: A campaign for civil rights and recognition.
Routledge introduces a thought provoking new book exploring the origins of the Chicano Movement and their struggle for empowerment in the United States.
 |
In the 1960s and 1970s, an energetic new social movement emerged among Mexican Americans. Fighting for civil rights and celebrating a distinct ethnic identity, the Chicano Movement had a lasting impact on the United States, from desegregation to bilingual education. Rethinking the Chicano Movement provides an astute and accessible introduction to this vital grassroots movement. By combining several fields of Chicano and Mexican American research, this comprehensive yet concise book considers the Chicano Movement not as an isolated regional issue, but as a national phenomenon, and places it alongside the other important social movements of the era. |
"Rodriguez has written an interesting and fresh interpretation of the Chicano movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s,” says Zaragosa Vargas, author of Crucible of Struggle: A History of Mexican America from Colonial Times to the Present. “It is an exciting book combining dramatic chapters with an insightful and balanced analysis.”
Brian D. Behnken, author of Fighting Their Own Battles: Mexican Americans, African Americans, and the Struggle for Civil Rights in Texas, calls Rethinking the Chicano Movement “a tremendously ambitious and important work."
Marc Simon Rodriguez is Associate Professor of history at Portland State University and the managing editor of the Pacific Historical Review.
