review: Editorial Reviews Review "(This book is) an important study of Mexican American communists that brings this crucial historical phenomenon further into the light."—Jimmy Patino, Pacific Historical Review “Buelna argues correctly that Mexican American radicals are underrepresented in written history. As Buelna’s work suggests, the inclusion of Mexican American progressives in U.S. history changes our understandings of civil rights struggles, unionization, and the Chicano Movement of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.” —Devra Weber, Department of History, University of California, Riverside “This well-researched study contributes to the fields of California history, Mexican American history, labor history, and race and ethnic studies. The exploration of radical activism by a Mexican American leader is especially significant.” —Ricardo Romo, author of East Los Angeles: History of a Barrio About the Author Enrique M. Buelna is a professor in the History Department at Cabrillo College in Santa Cruz, California. His research interests include working-class history, civil rights, social movements, immigration, race, class, and oral history.
