{"product_id":"to-march-for-others-lauren-araiza-9780812224030","title":"To March for Others: The Black Freedom Struggle and the United Farm Workers","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1966, members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, an African American civil rights group with Southern roots, joined Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers union on its 250-mile march from Delano to Sacramento, California, to protest the exploitation of agricultural workers. SNCC was not the only black organization to support the UFW: later on, the NAACP, the National Urban League, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and the Black Panther Party backed UFW strikes and boycotts against California agribusiness throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTo March for Others\u003c\/i\u003e explores the reasons why black activists, who were committed to their own fight for equality during this period, crossed racial, socioeconomic, geographic, and ideological divides to align themselves with a union of predominantly Mexican American farm workers in rural California. Lauren Araiza considers the history, ideology, and political engagement of these five civil rights organizations, representing a broad spectrum of African American activism, and compares their attitudes and approaches to multiracial coalitions. Through their various relationships with the UFW, Araiza examines the dynamics of race, class, labor, and politics in twentieth-century freedom movements. The lessons in this eloquent and provocative study apply to a broader understanding of political and ethnic coalition building in the contemporary United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lauren Araiza\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812224035\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812224030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pennsylvania Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Lauren Araiza","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990386573567,"sku":"9780812224030","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_06cef5d5-3635-4edd-9a99-725e5174ee1b.jpg?v=1683304379","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/to-march-for-others-lauren-araiza-9780812224030","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
