ITEM OVERVIEW
Youth, Identity, Power is a unique exploration of the origins and development of Chicano radicalism in America. Carlos Muñoz, Jr., himself a leader of the Chicano movement of the 1960s, places the movement in the wider context of the political development of Mexicans 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 cultural development of the Latino population as a whole.

Carlos Muñoz, Jr. is a scholar-activist and Emeritus Professor in the Department of Ethnic Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. He was the founding chair of the first Chicano Studies Department in the nation and a founder of the National Association of Chicano and Chicana Studies.
