Summary:

"Youth, Identity, Power" is a unique exploration of the origins and development of Chicano radicalism in America. Carlos Munoz, Jr, himself a leader of the Chicano movement of the 1960s, places the movement in the wider context of the political development of Mexicans and their descendants in the US. Fully revised and updated throughout, "Youth, Identity, Power" fills a significant gap in the history of political protest in the United States, and makes a major contribution to the history of the cultural development of the Chicano population as a whole.
