Latino City
U.S. Latino Issues
A revision of the popular previous edition published more than a decade earlier, this work examines today's U.S. Latino population—now arguably the most important "minority group" in the country, with numbers well over 50 million strong in an increasingly diverse and integrated America.

Zoot Suit Riots
The Sleepy Lagoon case of 1942 and the Zoot Suit riots of the following year are probably the best-known events in Chicano history, so much so that many people take the facts for granted. This docudrama takes a new look at those events, and the result is a gripping account that goes a long way toward solving the mystery of who killed José Diaz and absolving the Thirty-eighth Street gang defendants of that crime. The narrative is clear, and it tel…

Chicano Professor Takes on the UC System
I want to start by telling you a story. I had a very good friend by the name of Arnulfo Casillas. I don't remember when I first met Arnulfo but I had heard of him before I met him. I knew he was one of the students who had taken hold of a computer building in 1975 and that he was one of the founders of the Congreso. 1 As long as I knew Arnuffo, he was an activist. He was the kind of friend I could call at two o'clock in the morning if my computer…
