Their presence has rarely been documented and studied, in spite of their widespread participation in the industrial development of the Midwest, its communications infrastructure and labor movements. The populations of Puerto Rican, Mexican, Cuban and other Hispanic origins living in the region have often been seen as removed not only from mainstream America but also from the movements for human and civil rights that dominated Latino public discourse in the Southwest and Northeast during the 1960s and 1970s. In the first text examining Latinos in this region, historians and social science scholars have come together to document and evaluate the efforts and progress toward social justice. Distinguished scholars examine such diverse topics as advocacy efforts, civil rights and community organizations, Latina Civil Rights efforts, ethnic diversity and political identity, effects of legislation for Homeland Security, and political empowerment.Hispanic civil rights series.Hispanic AmericansCivil rightsMiddle WestHispanic AmericansMiddle WestPolitics and governmentCivil rights movementsMiddle WestSocial justiceMiddle WestEqualityMiddle WestCommunity lifeMiddle WestMiddle WestSocial conditionsMiddle WestEthnic relationsMiddle WestPolitics and governmentHispanic AmericansCivil rightsHispanic AmericansPolitics and government.Civil rights movementsSocial justiceEqualityCommunity life323.1168/073077Cardenas Gilberto1815441MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910971052703321La causa4370411UNINA
