Book Reviews of 500 Anos Del Pueblo Chicano / 500 Years of Chicano History: In Pictures
Book Review: Great book - should be read by all
Summary: 5 Stars
I truly enjoyed reading through this book. I do have to say though, that it's sad to read about the Centro Cultural de la Raza in San Diego when it was a thriving grassroots Chicano arts and culture venue. Just three years ago, it succumbed to a corporate takeover throwing the original artists/founders out as a result. The place still operates but it's not a true Chicano venue by any means. It's Disney Mexico-Land at best. It's clear the struggle is far from over, and although many think the Chicano Movement is no longer necessary (yeah, believe it or not, I've heard it said!), I beg to differ. The information in this book could be the news of today, and in some ways, things have gotten worse. This book was written pre-NAFTA, pre-expanded xenophobia since 9/11 and pre-expanded anti-immigrant (Mexican) sentiment in California, so who could have believed things could actually get worse! But they did. Time to rev up the movement again.
