Latino Social and Political Culture and History: Perspectives on the Chicano Movement

This digital archive from Gale highlights the Chicano/a experience in the United States, focusing on leaders like César Chávez, Dolores Huerta, Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales, and more. It explores critical social movements — including farmworker labor rights, student activism, and land reclamation—and highlights Chicanismo, a form of cultural nationalism.

Featuring collections from the Walter P. Reuther Library, Denver Public Library, and Hagley Library, the archive includes rare correspondence, personal papers, and organizational records from the United Farm Workers and other influential groups. It also sheds light on related movements, including the Bracero Program and its long-lasting impact on labor and community development in the U.S. Access the archive here.
