Manuel Martinez offers an eye-opening challenge to this characterization of the Beats, juxtaposing them against Chicano nationalists like Raul Salinas, Jose Montoya, Luis Valdez, and Oscar Acosta and Mexican migrant writers in the United States, like Tomas Rivera and Ernesto Galarza. In an innovative rereading of American radical politics and culture of the 1950s and 1960s, Martinez uncovers reactionary, neoromantic, and sometimes racist strains in the Beats' vision of freedom, and he brings to the fore the complex stances of Latinos on participant democracy and progressive culture. He analyzes the ways that Beats, Chicanos, and migrant writers conceived of and articulated social and political perspectives. He contends that both the Beats' extreme individualism and the Chicano nationalists' narrow vision of citizenship are betrayals of the democratic ideal, but that the migrant writers presented a distinctly radical and inclusive vision of democracy that was truly countercultural. 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aBeats (Persons) 606 $aAmerican literature$xMexican American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and society$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCounterculture$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMexican Americans$xIntellectual life 606 $aMexican Americans in literature 606 $aSocial problems in literature 606 $aLibertarianism in literature 606 $aDissenters in literature 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aBeats (Persons) 615 0$aAmerican literature$xMexican American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aCounterculture$xHistory 615 0$aMexican Americans$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aMexican Americans in literature. 615 0$aSocial problems in literature. 615 0$aLibertarianism in literature. 615 0$aDissenters in literature. 676 $a810.9/358 700 $aMartinez$b Manuel Luis$01811409 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957401203321 996 $aCountering the counterculture$94363274 997 $aUNINA
