Ernesto Chávez focuses on four organizations that constituted the heart of the movement: The Brown Berets, the Chicano Moratorium Committee, La Raza Unida Party, and the Centro de Acción Social Autónomo, commonly known as CASA. Chávez examines and chronicles the ideas and tactics of the insurgency's leaders and their followers who, while differing in their goals and tactics, nonetheless came together as Chicanos and reformers. Deftly combining personal recollection and interviews of movement participants with an array of archival, newspaper, and secondary sources, Chávez provides an absorbing account of the events that constituted the Los Angeles-based Chicano movement. At the same time he offers insights into the emergence and the fate of the movement elsewhere. He presents a critical analysis of the concept of Chicano nationalism, an idea shared by all leaders of the insurgency, and places it within a larger global and comparative framework. Examining such variables as gender, class, age, and power relationships, this book offers a sophisticated consideration of how ethnic nationalism and identity functioned in the United States during the 1960's and 1970's.Mexican AmericansCaliforniaLos AngelesPolitics and government20th centuryMexican AmericansCaliforniaLos AngelesEthnic identityMexican AmericansCivil rightsCaliforniaLos AngelesHistory20th centuryCivil rights movementsCaliforniaLos AngelesHistory20th centuryLos Angeles (Calif.)Politics and government20th centuryLos Angeles (Calif.)Ethnic relations1960s.1970s.brown berets.chicana.chicano movement.chicano.class.classism.cultural history.cultural studies.ethnic identity.gender studies.global.latin america.latin american history.latin american.latinx.los angeles.mexican culture.mexican heritage.mexico city.nationalism.reformation.reformers.regional history.social history.social studies.south america.southern california.west coast.western states.western united states.Mexican AmericansPolitics and governmentMexican AmericansEthnic identity.Mexican AmericansCivil rightsHistoryCivil rights movementsHistory979.4/940046872Chávez Ernesto1962-1548316MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783055603321"Mi raza primero!"
