• Sommario/riassunto: Cesar Chavez (1927Đ1993) comes to life in this vivid portrait of the charismatic fighter who boycotted supermarkets and took on corporations, the government, and the powerful Teamsters Union. Jacques E. Levy gained unprecedented access to Chavez and the United Farm Workers in writing this account of one of the most successful labor movements in historyÑwhich also serves as a guidebook for social and political change.
