Jiménez (modern languages and literatures, Santa Clara U.), García (sociology, Santa Clara U.), and Garcia (history, California State U.) collect the oral narratives of 14 Mexican American "community builders" from San José, California. Organized into sections on leadership and power, politics and society, education and social change, culture and the arts, and religion and community, the narratives reflect on biographical experience and organizing activities in support of César Chávez's United Farm Workers movement, against police brutality, for educational reform, towards the creation of ethnic community organizations, against war, and to provide social services for the poor, to cite some examples. The figures chosen for inclusion were active between 1960 and 2000. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
