    Not a light read but one to be savoured!
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2014*

Are you curious about the Chicano movement and Mexican nationalism in the U.S.? If so, this is the book to read. You will learn about how Mexicans changed their fate in America and used the civil rights. Movements of the sixties to unite and create their own movement. Very enlightening!

    The best book on the Chicano Movement
  

*by N***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2002*

Garcia presents the Movement in four stages, emphasizing the rejection by Chicanos of the Liberal agenda and the attainment of a Chicano sense of historicity. He observantly points out that Mexicans had pursued social justice for decades prior to the 1960's and 1970's. It was the big letdown after the 'Viva Kennedy' campaigns that led to a more militant stance on Mexican issues.When a people lack a firm sense of their historic value, they suffer. Chicanismo provided that vital sense that "it's okay to be brown"...in fact, it's a badge of historical honor.Garcia also does an excellent job of exposing the sexism within the Movement against Chicanas, who were always among the first to join organizations, and among the last to leave. Chicanismo is an essential book for any self-respecting Chicana/o seeking to understand 'La Causa' and the sell-out "Hispanic / Latino" era that has transpired afterwards.Whether middle-class Mexicans may want to deny the label of Chicano in favor of a milder, more Eurocentric 'Hispanic' or 'Latino' labels, the ethos that was generated by Chicanos remains the historical and political blueprint for modern ethnic politicans and organizations.The Chicano record for building and creating community organizations and programs remains unmatched by the present Hispanic/Latino generation, who would rather change the names from Chicano to Hispanic or Latino.The Chicano contributions stand alone.
