Description
Book SynopsisThis analysis of Chicana/o social movements of the 1970s reveals the numerous transnational connections that inspired anti-imperialism across borders and fostered organizers, poets, journalists, and others on the front lines of social change.
Trade Review"Gomez has contributed substantially to our understanding of the transnational Chicana/o Left, and to broader currents in the emergence of Latina/o identity during the 1970s....It will be of use both in Trump-era social movements and in graduate and advanced undergraduate courses, especially history and Latina/o studies offerings that focus on social movements, borderlands, and/or cultural studies." * Latino Studies *
