They were the same age: forty-one. Matthiessen lived in New York City, while Chavez lived in the Central Valley farm town of Delano, where the grape strike was unfolding. This book is Matthiessen's panoramic yet finely detailed account of the three years he spent working and traveling with Chavez, including to Sal Si Puedes, the San Jose barrio where Chavez began his organizing. Matthiessen provides a candid look into the many sides of this enigmatic and charismatic leader who lived by the laws of nonviolence. Sal Si Puedes is less reportage than living history. In its pages a whole era comes alive: the Chicano, Black Power, and antiwar movements; the browning of the labor movement; Chavez's fasts; the nationwide boycott of California grapes. When Chavez died in 1993, tens of thousands gathered at his funeral. It was a clear sign of how beloved he was and how important his life had been. A new foreword by Marc Grossman considers the significance of Chavez's legacy for our time. As well as serving as an indispensable guide to the 1960's, this book rejuvenates the extraordinary vitality of Chavez's life and spirit, giving his message a renewed and much-needed urgency. 606 $aLabor unions$zUnited States$vBiography 610 $aamerican labor. 610 $aantiwar movement. 610 $ablack power movement. 610 $acalifornia grapes boycott. 610 $acatholicism. 610 $acesar chavez. 610 $achicano movement. 610 $achristianity. 610 $acivil rights activists. 610 $acivil rights. 610 $acommunity organizer. 610 $afarms and farmers. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ahunger strikes. 610 $alabor leader. 610 $alatino american. 610 $alatino. 610 $alaws of nonviolence. 610 $aleftist politics. 610 $amexican american. 610 $anational farm workers association. 610 $anfwa. 610 $anonviolent protest. 610 $apolitical. 610 $areligion. 610 $arevolt. 610 $aroman catholic. 610 $aufw. 610 $aunion organizer. 610 $aunited farm workers. 610 $aworkers union. 615 0$aLabor unions 676 $a331.88/13 700 $aMatthiessen$b Peter$0445421 701 $aGrossman$b Marc$01487663 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790707603321 996 $aSal si puedes$93707626 997 $aUNINA
