Rethinking the Chicano Movement

Providing an introduction to this grassroots movement and bringing together different fields of research, Rodriquez considers the Chicano movement as a national, not just regional, phenomenon, and places it alongside the other important social movements of the era. He details the many different facets of the Chicano movement, including college campuses, third-party politics, media, and art, and traces the development and impact of one of the most important post-WWII social movements in the United States. --From publisher description.
