| Summary: | "The first edition of Occupied America followed the current of the times, adopting the internal colonial model that was popular during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Since then, just like the Chicano movement itself, I have undergone dramatic changes. This version of Occupied America reflects my current understanding of the history of Chicanos. The patterns of repression and injustices are more fully documented than in the first edition; topics overlooked in 1972, such as the role of women and the roots of Chicano labor, have been included. Heavy emphasis is placed on documentation, drawing on a wealth of materials found in the numerous dissertations written by Chicanos and other scholars of the Southwest, as well as in the Arno Series, the Chicano journal Aztlán, newspapers such as the Eastside Sun and the news-monitoring service published by the Comité de México y Aztlán (COMEXAZ), and the newsletters of the American GI Forum. Because of the amount of documentation and the well-defined patterns illuminated by empirical evidence, I changed the subtitle from The Chicano's Struggle Toward Liberation to simply A History of Chicanos. The change is subtle, since history is never static and since it reflects struggle."--Preface. |
