These activists tell the stories of their lives and work with engaging openness and honesty, allowing readers to witness their successes and failures. This vivid ethnography of a Mexican-American community serves as a model for activism wherever ethnic groups seek change and justice. | Ethnic Community Builders by Francisco Jiménez, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
