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. 606 $aMexican Americans$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xPolitics and government$y20th century 606 $aMexican Americans$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xEthnic identity 606 $aMexican Americans$xCivil rights$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCivil rights movements$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aLos Angeles (Calif.)$xPolitics and government$y20th century 607 $aLos Angeles (Calif.)$xEthnic relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xPolitics and government 615 0$aMexican Americans$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory 615 0$aCivil rights movements$xHistory 676 $a979.4/940046872 700 $aCha?vez$b Ernesto$f1962-$01045634 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450028303321 996 $a"Mi raza primero!"
