This book provides a long-needed overview of the Chicana and
Chicano movement's social history as it grew, flourished, and then
slowly fragmented. The authors examine the movement's origins in
the 1960s and 1970s, showing how it evolved from a variety of
organizations and activities united in their quest for basic
equities for Mexican Americans in U.S. society. Within this matrix
of agendas, objectives, strategies, approaches, ideologies, and
identities, numerous electrifying moments stitched together the
struggle for civil and human rights. Gomez-Quinones and Vasquez
show how these convergences underscored tensions among diverse
individuals and organizations at every level. Their narrative
offers an assessment of U.S. society and the Mexican American
community at a critical time, offering a unique understanding of
its civic progress toward a more equitable social order."
