The largest social movement by people of Mexican descent in the
U.S. to date, the Chicano Movement of the 1960s and 70s linked
civil rights activism with a new, assertive ethnic identity:
Chicano Power! Beginning with the farmworkers' struggle led by
Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, the Movement expanded to urban
areas throughout the Southwest, Midwest and Pacific Northwest, as a
generation of self-proclaimed Chicanos fought to empower their
communities. Recently, a new generation of historians has produced
an explosion of interesting work on the Movement. The Chicano
Movement: Perspectives from the Twenty-First Century collects the
various strands of this research into one readable collection,
exploring the contours of the Movement while disputing the idea of
it being one monolithic group. Bringing the story up through the
1980s, The Chicano Movement introduces students to the impact of
the Movement, and enables them to expand their understanding of
what it means to be an activist, a Chicano, and an American.
