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. 410 0$aHispanic civil rights series. 606 $aHispanic Americans$xCivil rights$zMiddle West 606 $aHispanic Americans$zMiddle West$xPolitics and government 606 $aCivil rights movements$zMiddle West 606 $aSocial justice$zMiddle West 606 $aEquality$zMiddle West 606 $aCommunity life$zMiddle West 607 $aMiddle West$xSocial conditions 607 $aMiddle West$xEthnic relations 607 $aMiddle West$xPolitics and government 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xCivil rights 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aCivil rights movements 615 0$aSocial justice 615 0$aEquality 615 0$aCommunity life 676 $a323.1168/073077 701 $aCardenas$b Gilberto$01815441 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971052703321 996 $aLa causa$94370411 997 $aUNINA
