Focusing on community and student activism in Phoenix and Tucson, Darius V. Echeverría ties the Arizona events to the larger Chicano and civil rights movements against the backdrop of broad societal shifts that occurred throughout the country. Arizona's unique role in the movement came from its (public) schools, which were the primary source of Chicano activism against the inequities in the judicial, social, economic, medical, political, and educational arenas. The word Aztlán, originally meaning the legendary ancestral home of the Nahua peoples of Mesoamerica, was adopted as a symbol of independence by Chicano/a activists during the movement of the 1960's and 1970's. In an era when poverty, prejudice, and considerable oppositional forces blighted the lives of roughly one-fifth of Arizonans, the author argues that understanding those societal realities is essential to defining the rise and power of the Chicano Movement. The book illustrates how Mexican American communities fostered a togetherness that ultimately modified larger Arizona society by revamping the educational history of the region. The concluding chapter outlines key Mexican American individuals and organizations that became politically active in order to address Chicano educational concerns. This Chicano unity, reflected in student, parent, and community leadership organizations, helped break barriers, dispel the Mexican American inferiority concept, and create educational change that benefited all Arizonans. No other scholar has examined the emergence of Chicano Movement politics and its related school reform efforts in Arizona. Echevarria's thorough research, rich in scope and interpretation, is coupled with detailed and exact endnotes. The book helps readers understand the issues surrounding the Chicano Movement educational reform and ethnic identity. Equally important, the author shows how residual effects of these dynamics are still pertinent today in places such as Tucson"--Provided by publisher.Mexican AmericansEducationArizonaHistory20th centuryMexican AmericansArizonaPolitics and government20th centuryChicano movementArizonaEducational changeArizonaHistory20th centuryMexican AmericansEducationHistoryMexican AmericansPolitics and governmentChicano movementEducational changeHistory371.829/68073HIS036130SOC044000bisacshEcheverría Darius V.1974-1671953MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910806230903321Aztlán Arizona4034911UNINA03532nam 2200709Ia 450 991097495570332120251117083631.09786613601247978128057164012805716409780300168723030016872110.12987/9780300168723(CKB)2670000000184543(EBL)3420825(SSID)ssj0000689334(PQKBManifestationID)11388078(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000689334(PQKBWorkID)10614520(PQKB)11380245(DE-B1597)485665(OCoLC)793206891(DE-B1597)9780300168723(Au-PeEL)EBL3420825(CaPaEBR)ebr10551221(CaONFJC)MIL360124(OCoLC)923597830(MiAaPQ)EBC3420825(Perlego)1089709(OCoLC)793206891(EXLCZ)99267000000018454320100323d2010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrFuenteovejuna /Lope de Vega ; translated by G.J.

Often compared to Shakespeare, Molière, and Racine, Lope is widely considered the greatest of all Spanish playwrights, and Fuenteovejuna (The Sheep Well) is among the most important Spanish Golden Age plays.Written in 1614, Fuenteovejuna centers on the decision of an entire village to admit to the premeditated murder of a tyrannical ruler. Lope masterfully employs the tragicomic conventions of the Spanish comedia as he leavens the central dilemma of the peasant lovers, Laurencia and Frondoso, with the shenanigans of Mengo, the gracioso or clown. Based on an actual historical incident, Fuenteovejuna offers a paean to collective responsibility and affirmation of the timeless values of justice and kindness.Translator G. J. Racz preserves the nuanced voice and structure of Lope de Vega's text in this first English translation in analogical meter and rhyme. Roberto González Echevarría surveys the history of Fuenteovejuna, as well as Lope's enormous literary output and indelible cultural imprint. Racz's compelling translation and González Echevarría's rich framework bring this timeless Golden Age drama alive for a new generation of readers and performers.Margellos world republic of letters book.Spanish literatureFuenteovejuna (Spain)HistoryDramaSpanish literature.862/.3Vega Lope de1562-1635.221921Racz Gregary Joseph1808947MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974955703321Fuenteovejuna4359463UNINA
