{"product_id":"chicano-san-diego-richard-griswold-del-castillo-9780816525683","title":"Chicano San Diego: Cultural Space and the Struggle for Justice","description":"The Mexican and Chicana\/o residents of San Diego have a long, complicated, and rich history that has been largely ignored. This collection of essays shows how the Spanish-speaking people of this border city have created their own cultural spaces. Sensitive to issues of gender-and paying special attention to political, economic, and cultural figures and events-the contributors explore what is unique about San Diego's Mexican American history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In chronologically ordered chapters, scholars discuss how Mexican and Chicana\/o people have resisted and accommodated the increasingly Anglo-oriented culture of the region. The book's early chapters recount the historical origins of San Diego and its development through the mid-nineteenth century, describe the \"American colonization\" that followed, and include examples of Latino resistance that span the twentieth century-from early workers' strikes to the United Farm Workers movement of the 1960s. Later chapters trace the Chicana\/o Movement in the community and in the arts; the struggle against the gentrification of the barrio; and the growth of community organizing (especially around immigrants' rights) from the perspective of a community organizer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e To tell this sweeping story, the contributors use a variety of approaches. Testimonios retell individual lives, ethnographies relate the stories of communities, and historical narratives uncover what has previously been ignored or discounted. The result is a unique portrait of a marginalized population that has played an important but neglected role in the development of a major American border city.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Griswold del Castillo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816525684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816525683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2008 pg. 95","brand":"Richard Griswold del Castillo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947330109695,"sku":"9780816525683","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0d3384e4-1583-4b26-a1ca-ea9aadbb5635.jpg?v=1681518081","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chicano-san-diego-richard-griswold-del-castillo-9780816525683","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
