About this event
Editors Mario T. García and Ellen McCracken of Rewriting the Chicano Movement: New Histories of Mexican American Activism in the Civil Rights Era, join contributors in an online book launch and discussion.
The Chicano Movement, el movimiento, is known as the largest and most expansive civil rights and empowerment movement by Mexican Americans up to that time. It made Chicanos into major American political actors and laid the foundation for today’s Latino political power. Rewriting the Chicano Movement is a collection of powerful new essays on the Chicano Movement that expand and revise our understanding of the movement. These essays capture the commitment, courage, and perseverance of movement activists, both men and women, and their struggles to achieve the promises of American democracy.
This online event is part of our Spring 2021 Event Series on Wednesday, March 3, 6:30 p.m. Mountain Time
Event is free via Zoom, but registration is required.
