Chicana Power
Contested Histories of Feminism in the Chicano Movement

Chicana Power: Contested Histories of Feminism in the Chicano Movement by Maylei Blackwell (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780292726901)

Drawing on a wealth of oral histories from pioneering Chicana activists, as well as the vibrant print culture through which they articulated their agenda and built community, this book presents the first full-scale investigation of the social and political factors that led to the development of Chicana feminism.

She uncovers the multifaceted vision of liberation that continues to reverberate today as contemporary activists, artists, and intellectuals, both grassroots and academic, struggle for, revise, and rework the political legacy of Chicana feminism.
