Trade Review
“In Cartographic Memory, Juan Herrera carefully and elegantly examines Chicano movement activism and its legacies in Oakland, California’s Fruitvale neighborhood. . . . In these two ways—its analysis of the movement’s dynamic production of space, and in its focus on Oakland—Cartographic Memory is a signal achievement.” -- Laura Barraclough * Society and Space *
"This book will helpfully inform the next generation of geographers, activists, and students on the crucial impact space has on social movements, and the ways social movements shape space and place." -- Aída R. Guhlincozzi * Environment, Space, Place *
