While each life is unique, collectively they\u003cbr\u003e demonstrate the benefits gained when a community and a society unleashes and\u003cbr\u003e fosters the potential of women who create, organize, and lead. Conversely, an\u003cbr\u003e undetermined degree of loss may accrue to societies that suppress or discourage\u003cbr\u003e the freedom of women to shape their destinies.\u003cbr\u003e When women come together with a collective intention, powerful things\u003cbr\u003e happen. Simultaneously, but separately, in 1972-73, at San Diego State University\u003cbr\u003e and at Stanford University, and having never met, two of us had the same idea, \u003cbr\u003e to propose and design a course about Mexican American women. The idea for\u003cbr\u003e this book also has a history. In those days, both of us wanted to contribute to the\u003cbr\u003e development of Chicano studies. The Mexican American voice, so much a fabric\u003cbr\u003e of U.S. history was missing from the dominant English narrative and the women's\u003cbr\u003e presence was nearly absent from Chicano literature and history. Chicanas acted\u003cbr\u003e to change these injustices, thereby adding new energy to the Chicano Movement\u003cbr\u003e and to other liberation discourse. At that time, as graduate students, we had the\u003cbr\u003e opportunity to teach a Chicana women's course.\u003cbr\u003e Such a course had never been taught at either university. While women\u003cbr\u003e instigated change at different colleges, in those years Chicanas\/Latinas appeared\u003cbr\u003e to be anonymous. And although Anglo women around the country had already\u003cbr\u003e started addressing women's needs, they did not include the new diverse student\u003cbr\u003e population that was entering the universities.\u003cbr\u003e the woman where she has most noticeably served. Chapters One and\u003cbr\u003e Two begin with Mujeres Presentes, that is, the women who have passed away\u003cbr\u003e but whose presence lives on as their actions continue to affect the lives of others.\u003cbr\u003e Chapters Eleven and Twelve highlight educators whose work builds on that of\u003cbr\u003e earlier mentors and their actions. The chapters between include: Three and Four, \u003cbr\u003e \"Early Activists;\" Five and Six, \"Chicanas in the Arts: \" Seven and Eight, \"Chicanas\u003cbr\u003e in Education;\" Nine and Ten, \"Chicanas in Public Office.\" Each chapter includes\u003cbr\u003e a brief introduction, but the women's narratives are the core of the book; their\u003cbr\u003e stories easily stand on their own.\u003cbr\u003e This collection may be considered a starting point and by no means\u003cbr\u003e represents the entire Chicana\/Latina community in San Diego. As it turned out\u003cbr\u003e there were many more women than the sixty-one women presented here. The\u003cbr\u003e hope is that others may read the book and decide to author a future edition. All\u003cbr\u003e women ought to be honored for their efforts and receive the recognition they\u003cbr\u003e deserve.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 440\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 07, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47468130468093,"sku":"9780744226348","price":119.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/RlhOSWpTOG00bXpmUFZ3ODhUSjZMdz09.webp?v=1777285505","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/chicana-tributes-activist-women-of-the-civil-rights-movement-stories-for-the-new-generation-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
