"A bibliographic essay [by] Robert R. Haro": pages 325-348.

The past decade has seen the dramatic emergence of the Chicano, or Mexican-American, from passive endurance of century-old indifference and injustice at the hands of Anglo society. Such figures as César Chávez in California, Reies Lopez Tijerina in New Mexico, and José Angel Gutíerrez in Texas are but the most visible signs of this far-reaching renaissance of ethnic pride and power. The thirty-two essays in this volume consider the Chicano movement from many different points of view. Written by both Chicanos and Anglos, they trace the history of Chicanos in this country, detail the forms of oppression they have faced, describe the new movements that have begun to promote active change, and carefully consider the different paths of protest, resistance, and action among which Chicanos now must choose. The result is a much-needed book that places in clear focus one of the most important political and social movements of our country today.
