Cristal Experiment

A Chicano Struggle for Community Control

Beschreibung

Amidst the militancy of the 1960s and early 1970s the Mexican population of the dusty agricultural town of Crystal City, Texas (Cristal in Spanish), staged two electoral revolts, winning control of the city council and school board. Armando Navarro presents the most comprehensive examination to date of the rise of the Chicano political movement in Cristal.
