¡Mi Raza Primero! is the first book to examine the Chicano movement’s development in one locale--in this case Los Angeles, home of the largest population of people of Mexican descent outside of Mexico City. Ernesto Chávez focuses on four organizations that constituted the heart of the movement: The Brown Berets, the Chicano Moratorium Committee, La Raza Unida Party, and the Centro de Acción Social Autónomo, commonly known as CASA. Chávez examines and chronicles the ideas and tactics of the insurgency’s leaders and their followers who, while differing in their goals and tactics

Coral reefs declined worldwide during the 1980s and 1990s, making them perhaps the most endangered marine ecosystem on Earth. This realization spurred John W. Tunnell Jr. and others to write a comprehensive book that would raise awareness of coral reefs and their plight. Tunnell and coeditors Ernesto A. Chávez and Kim Withers present an integrated and broad-ranging synthesis, while Mexican and U.S. experts assess the current state of these fragile systems and offer a framework for their restoration. Beginning with a history of the research done in this region, Coral Reefs o

"And if someone says we are just romantics, inveterate idealists, thinking the impossible, that the masses of people cannot become almost perfect human beings, we will have to answer a thousand and one times: Yes, it can be done; we are confident that humanity as a whole can advance." (CHE GUEVARA)Is there an alternative to the neoliberal globalization that is ravaging our planet?These classic works by Ernesto Che Guevara present a radical view of a different world in which human solidarity and understanding replace aggressive capitalist competition and exploitation.Included here are Che’

From volunteers ready to patrol the U.S.-Mexico border to the hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children who have marched in support of immigrant rights, the United States has witnessed a surge of involvement in immigration activism. In The Latino Threat, Leo R. Chavez critically investigates the media stories about and recent experiences of immigrants to show how prejudices and stereotypes have been used to malign an entire immigrant population—and to define what it means to be an American. Pundits—and the media at large—nurture and perpetuate the notion that Latinos, particularl

What is this book about? Simply put, it is about the glory of God, the greatness of His Word and how Christianity in America has gone astray. There is a way to get back on track but it is not found in updated theology; it is found in His Word and requires submission to God s teachings rather than man s. Vanity, Vanity American Christianity will challenge many because many Christians in America have mistakenly been taught a man-centered view on scripture, not a God-centered view. Do you know for sure if you are following Christ or if you are following what someone told you about Him? Are

In the soothing darkness of her local theater, thirty-something teacher’s aide and divorcée Teresina "Tere" Ávila looks straight into the smoldering eyes of Pedro Infante and wonders where her life has gone. The impossibly handsome Mexican singer and movie icon died in 1957, but to Tere -- secretary of the Pedro Infante fan club chapter 256 -- he remains an everlasting symbol of the possibility of passion beyond her New Mexico town. Tere’s passions are wasted on Lucio, the married lover who plies her with sweet kisses and false promises. Comfort comes in her adoration for In
