{"product_id":"adela-sloss-vento-arnoldo-carlos-vento-9780761869139","title":"Adela Sloss-Vento: Writer, Political Activist, and Civil Rights Pioneer","description":"This work probes into the socio-political and cultural setting in South Texas (1915-1992) via data found in the private archival collection of Adela Sloss-Vento; it focuses on her role as an activist, writer and civil\/human rights pioneer. It is only through this archive that documentation becomes available of her participation in this unknown and unpublicized civil rights movement. It is a realistic portrayal of an exclusionist semi-colonial society that the reader discovers; a Jim Crow type of political and racial existence against all people of Mexican descent. It represents Sloss-Vento's lifelong struggle for economic and social equality. Adela Sloss-Vento's role as a Civil Rights pioneer antedates Dr. Anna Pauline Murray by eight years and Martin Luther King by twenty-eight years. She places her mark in history as a leader, not only for the first seminal Mexican-American Civil Rights Movement of Texas but the first woman and voice in an early, if not the earliest Civil Rights Movement in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arnoldo Carlos Vento\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0761869131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780761869139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hamilton Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Arnoldo Carlos Vento","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48991994511615,"sku":"9780761869139","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/adela-sloss-vento-arnoldo-carlos-vento-9780761869139","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
