About this product
Product Information
In The Chicano Generation , veteran Chicano civil rights scholar Mario T. Garc a provides a rare look inside the struggles of the 1960s and 1970s as they unfolded in Los Angeles. Based on in-depth interviews conducted with three key activists, this book illuminates the lives of Raul Ruiz, Gloria Arellanes, and Rosalio Mu oz--their family histories and widely divergent backgrounds; the events surrounding their growing consciousness as Chicanos; the sexism encountered by Arellanes; and the aftermath of their political histories. In his substantial introduction, Garc a situates the Chicano movement in Los Angeles and contextualizes activism within the largest civil rights and empowerment struggle by Mexican Americans in US history--a struggle that featured C sar Ch vez and the farm workers, the student movement highlighted by the 1968 LA school blowouts, the Chicano antiwar movement, the organization of La Raza Unida Party, the Chicana feminist movement, the organizing of undocumented workers, and the Chicano Renaissance. Weaving this revolution against a backdrop of historic Mexican American activism from the 1930s to the 1960s and the contemporary black power and black civil rights movements, Garc a gives readers the best representations of the Chicano generation in Los Angeles.

Reviews
Over twenty years in the making, the book relies on the use of testimonios, or testimonies . . . intended to educate others while also inspiring them to continue the struggle., [ Heavy Ground ] does something unexpected. It opens a new perspective onto William Mulholland... [bringing him] to life in all his sharp-elbowed, stubborn glory, saddened and perplexed by the St. Francis Dam debacle yet prideful until the end., This book is a welcome contribution to understanding the Chicano movement and is convincing because the narrators actually participated in the events. Their complicated humanity makes for compelling history in the first person.

The books are in very good condition, and shipped quickly. One of the books does have a small paragraph highlighted that was not noted in the listing, but my recipient is not going to care, and the rest of the books are really in fantastic condition, especially considering the age of the texts. I do feel like the seller's listing was very thorough about flaws other than the small section of highlighting, and the pictures provided were very helpful. Would purchase again.
