Description: "This new volume from Armando Navarro is a comprehensive political history of the Mexicano experience in the United States. Viewing Mexicanos today as an occupied and colonized people, Navarro calls for the formation of a new movement to reinvigorate the struggle for resistance and change. He envisions a new political and cultural landscape in which a dominant Latino population "re-Mexicanizes" the United States into a more multicultural and multiethnic society. This book will be a valuable resource for political and social activists and a teaching tool for political theory, Latino politics, ethnic and minority politics, race relations in the United States, and social movements."--Jacket.
