The Chicano Movement

            The Chicano Movement was an era of pride for the Chicano community. People of Chicano, the Mexican Americans and the individuals of all races joined to address a common distress.  This concern was about the social injustices in the community amid the Anglos and Chicanos, the exploitation in the workplaces, the terrible atrocities that was involved with immigration and the disagreement on the border.  As a result, it was a revival for the Chicano community where Chicano’s became organized and presented new ideas.  The Chicano community took this as a time that someone had heard their cry.  The literary borders that were broken during the movement were what really made it special and exclusive (Garcia, 4).      

            Rodolfo Corky Gonzalez played a huge and important role in the expansion of the Chicano Movement.  He is described as the founding father of the book. He was a bright person who graduated high school at the age of 16.   His research methodologies included the fact that he was an iconic justice leader who wanted equality for the Mexican Americans in the Southwest.  He later led a Chicano dependent to the poor people’s March and gave a plan that demanded for better housing and education (Garcia, 14). 

            Education is one of the main themes in the book.  The author described educating the community with the Chicano’s movements as a way that identified oneself as a Chicano.  Culture in the book describes the struggle of many Chicanos and further describes how Chicano has spread the notion of the Chicano nationalism through wall painting walls. Many Chicano’s took the theme of art as a way that expressed their ideas of Chicanismo, these art ways included poetry, songs and art (Garcia, 32).   

            In part one, the main topic was mission for a mother country: This mission topic showed how the Tijerina’s war to induce the national regime to respect the accord.  This section is important in founding the Chicano nationalism through its assertion of the cultural identity based on the legendary homeland of Chicano. In section two, the main topic discussed is the fight back in the countryside: This reviews the significance of Cesar Chavez and his hard work to arrange farm employees in the middle vale of California (Garcia, 117). 

            It defines the different mechanisms of Chavez plan for ranch workers autonomy.  In section3, the topic was winning the schools back:  It shows how Los Angeles high schools bluster out of 1968 with enthusiasm.  It can be explained using section 3 on how young people work up for change through education.  Section four’s main topic was the fight for political supremacy.  This section confers the foundation of La Raza Unida social gathering as a third agency force for biased authority and the significance of the opinionated freedom (Garcia, 123).

            The author of the book has created a great and varied modern literature custom by investigating the culture of the Mexican Americans through the narrative writing style.  The book has a clear introduction and conclusion.  The perspective of the book from the twentieth century reviews the various stands of the book by exploring the outlines of the movement while arguing the idea of it being one monumental group.   In its conclusion, the book shows the impacts of the movement and brings a result of what it means by being an activist, a Chicano and an American (Garcia, 132). 

The author provided firm evidence to back up their viewpoints.  This is shown by the disturbance and the renaissance of the Chicano movement during which the author reconnects with their culture and proclaims their rights as equal in the detection of the American dream (Garcia, 78). 

            The book is well written as we observe the literary before our eyes.  It also gives us an intelligence of the growing conflict of the Mexican American. The book does not meet the goals of the author objectives, as it never explains the ongoing implication of the Chicago movement and its legacy.  The weakness of the book is that it defines the significance of the Chicano movement as the new consciousness of the farm staff and community needs. The strengths of the book is that through teaching about the Chicano movement or the political activism, the books benefits us by showing an extraordinary succession about an extra usual era in record (Garcia, 123).   

            The Chicano movement confronts the typecasts of women across the sex, customs, group and race.  This shows that it serves as a central opinion amid the Chicano society and the Women’s release Act.  The book relates to other books based on communities of color in that it also shows how the rival between the Chicanos and the LAPD helped the Mexican Americans develop a modern political awareness that included a huge sense of ethnic unity, which ended subordination (Garcia, 201).     

            The impact on the book helps us understand the communities of color in America.  It shows how the civil right Acts of the 1960’s were great advances.  The Chicano movement addressed the negative ethnic typecasts of the Mexicans in America.  The author was successful in carrying the overall aim of the book in that the Chicano movement is seen to have roused and skilled a new age group of protesters and select few, which led to a federal period of main issues that were significant to the Mexican American society (Garcia, 245). 

Conclusion

The Chicano Movement by the Mexicans is decent in America that connected the civil rights protestors with a modern assertive racial individuality. The Chicano supremacy with the workers struggle led by Cesar and Dolores made the movement expand to urban areas and to the Southwest.  The generations declared Chicano’s to have fought to authorize their communities. Lately, a new generation of historians has produced an explosion of attractive work on the group.
