	"ÁMi Raza Primero!" (My People First!): Introduction
		The Chicano movement, like the other social movements of the Vietnam era, had the potential of redefining the nature of what American society was—and is. The Vietnam era can be looked upon as a historic moment in which the United States failed to constitute itself as a truly democratic society.
		Hence, the collapse of the Chicano movement resulted from the failure of its constituent parts to recognize the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of the ethnic Mexican community in Los Angeles and, indeed, the nation.
		By focusing on the above groups, what emerges is a multifaceted Chicano movement that shared a sense of cultural nationalism, but differed in tactics and goals and in its appeal to different sectors of the community.

		The Chicano movement has striven for a variety of educational goals, including reduction of school drop-out rates, improvement of educational attainment, development of bilingual-bicultural programs, expansion of higher education fellowships and support services, creation of courses and programs in Chicano studies, and an increase in the number of Chicano teachers and administrators.
		The impetus of the Chicano movement in the 1960s and 1970s brought a rapid expansion of the Chicano press, but the problems of undercapitalization and of educating large institutional advertisers to the potential of the Mexican American market remain.
		The Chicano teatro movement has included both ephemeral groups (some university teatros disappeared after graduation of their founders and early leaders) and some that have managed to survive despite constant financial pressures.

		Dr. Raoul Conteras, a professor from Indiana University Northwest, discusses his interpretation of the Chicano movement and the history behind the Chicano moratorium Thursday in the Holmes Student Center’s Heritage Room.
		Contreras stressed the importance of the movement many times, saying it was the greatest contribution of Chicanos to America because it made the country more equitable, just and democratic.
		“The moratorium was monumentally important,” Contreras said, “but it was part of something bigger – the Chicano movement – which was this mass social uprising of Mexicanos and Mexican Americans who realized they wanted to make history.”

	Chicano! Viewers' Forum
		As leaders and students began to address themselves as ÒhispanicsÓ the focus was towards assimilation into the ÒAmericanÓ culture while at the same time suppressing their Chicano/ Mexicano identity and culture which was the driving, unifying force behind the Chicano Movement.
		My father, who was in his mid 20's around the time of the Chicano Movement was at its peak, just recently explained me about how I was fortunate enough to benefit from the actions of people who struggled back then.
		The use of the term ÒhispanicÓ which was introduced in the late 70Õs was specifically chosen to dilute the power of the CHICANO Movement.

	People's Weekly World Newspaper Online - Chicano Moratorium Aug. 29: 1970 and 2004
		Our Chicano Moratorium was different from much of the peace movement of that day in that we focused on the working class neighborhoods whose youth were dying in that war at twice the rate of the overall population.
		Our Chicano movement for peace addressed the issues of racism and economic justice much more than the overall peace movement did.
		For me and my generation of Chicanos, Mexican Americans, it very much brings to mind another historic Aug. 29 in 1970, when over 25,000 of us with our allies marched through the East Los Angeles barrios against the Vietnam War, in the National Chicano Moratorium.

	Freedom Road Socialist Organization - They Wanted to Serve the People
		I was drawn to the New Communist Movement because it helped me to understand the root cause of Chicano oppression, what Chicano Liberation could actually look like (i.e., self-determination), what social forces could actually achieve a revolution (the working class and U.S. national liberation struggles), and a socialist vision of an alternative society.
		I was an activist in the Chicano Movement who had been attracted to that movement's left wing (the Crusade for Justice, Brown Berets, La Raza Unida Party) and helped to form the August 29th Movement (ATM), the first primarily Chicano communist organization in the US.
		The New Communist Movement put the fight for equality at the center of its politics and devoted immense attention to analyzing the history, structures and pervasive impact of white supremacy.

	Occasional Paper No. 17
		For the Chicano movement, the context of the 1960's and early 1970's within the United States is just as important.
		As a journalist, he provided a forum for Chicano activists and served to interpret the movement for the wider public.
		Chicanos saw the mainstream peace movement organize rallies, and reached the conclusion: we can do that.

	Moratorium1
		The Chicano anti Vietnam war movement that grew into the Chicano Moratorium demonstrations of 1969-1971 got its first major impetus when the UCLA Mecha chapter mobilized a protest demonstration in front of the downtown Los Angeles draft center on South Broadway near Olympic Blvd on September 16, 1969.
		Today a new generation of Chicanos is assuming the mantle of power generated by the Chicano Movement.
		While many Chicanos shared this view, they were particularly incensed by the fact that Chicano GIs in Viet Nam were dying in obscene numbers relative to their size in national population, representing more than 20% of the casualties while making up only 6% of the American population.

	The Black Arts Movement: Literary Nationalism in the 1960s and 1970s, by James Edward Smethurst. Introduction.
		The Chicano movement, for example, was not only a phenomenon of the West and the Southwest (and the South, depending on how one categorizes Texas) but also of many midwestern cities where there had long been significant Chicana/o communities.
		Finally, this chapter discusses the Black Arts movement and its impact on the Chicano movement, Asian American literary nationalism, and the embryonic multicultural movement.
		Even now, academic assessments of the Black Arts and Black Power movements are frequently made in passing and generally seem to assume that we already know all we need to know about these intertwined movements and their misogyny, homophobia, anti-Semitism, and eschewal of practical politics for the pathological symbolic.

	The Book of Leviticus According To St. Ricardito: 03/01/2004 - 03/31/2004
		The Nuyorican Movement set an alliance with the Royal Chicano Air Force, and we became honorary members, because the Chicano and the Nuyorican Movements are the same.
		That is the original Nuyorican Poets Café, on Sixth Street, and that’s where I come to the conclusion that the Nuyorican Movement is the First Draft Movement, because we were all very enthusiastic about reading the first draft, something that’s rarely done now.
		Once you have a movement, you have all these other people who want to also make history, and they start their own movements.

		Ground-breaking for the material it covers, the series is one of the few to address the history of Mexican Americans in general and that of the Chicano Movement in particular; it is an indispensable resource for scholars and students.
		The Mexican American Civil Rights Movement, one of the least studied social movements of the 1960s, encompassed a broad cross section of issues—from restoration of land grants, to farm workers rights, to enhanced education, to voting and political rights.

	RECLAIMING SPACE: Poetry, Music, and Art of the Royal Chicano Air Force
		I have in mind particularly, though not exclusively, the aesthetic practices of poster-making and mural painting prevalent during and since the heyday of the Chicano political and cultural movement of the late sixties and early seventies.
		Unfortunately, there were no women artists involved with the MALA-F. But during the Chicano/a Movement, the resistance of Chicanas to the cultural oppression of the majority was matched by their resistance to the intracultural roles through which males dominated many aspects of family life and the art community.
		The Chicano art movement emphasized community-oriented and public art forms, such as making posters and painting murals, and the development of artistic collectives.

		Though she usually was not inspired to enter politics because of the feminist movement, she did have a feminist sensibility, contributed to by cultural events like The Feminine Mystique and NOW agitation, that made her declare it her turn to be in the spotlight.
		Dianne Feinstein and Jane Byrne were never associated with any movement, and thus this may help to explain their reticence to associate with feminism-- they clearly were not interested in progressive politics.

		Chicano (not Hispanic) Lit connects to works still done on the island when we acknowledge shared connections to Che Guevara, also a hero of the Chicano Movement.
		Paredes, one of the masters of Chicano research and historical preservation, collected sixty-six songs that were representative of the folksongs of the Lower Rio Grande Border from 1750-1960.
		Thus, much of Chicano Lit discussions are forced to discuss in the realm of the English language, since we may not speak, read, much less write in Spanish.

	People's Weekly World Newspaper Online - 1916 – 2005 Lalo Guerrero, trovador chicano — presente!
		In 1968, as the Chicano movement exploded, and one of the student walkout demands was for Mexican food in the cafeteria, came the song “There’s No Tortillas.” In the 1970s Guerrero’s “El Chicano” projected demands for worker and immigrant rights and bilingual education.
		Known by all as Lalo, the Chicano trovador (troubadour) extraordinaire sang, composed and played mariachi, swing, bolero, boogie, mambo, cha-cha, rock and norteño music, often in poignant yet comic parodies, from the time of the Great Depression until he passed away March 17 in the Palm Springs suburb of California’s Coachella Valley.
		In the ’80s came “There’s No Chicanos on TV” and “Mexican Mammas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Busboys.” In the ’90s he recorded “Papa’s Dream” with the popular Chicano rock group Los Lobos.
