This exciting new volume from Armando Navarro offers the most current and comprehensive political history of the Mexicano experience in the United States. He examines in-depth topics such as American political culture, electoral politics, demography, and organizational development. Viewing Mexicanos today as an occupied and colonized people, he calls for the formation of a new movement to reinvigorate the struggle for resistance and change among Mexicanos. Navarro envisions a new political and cultural landscape as the dominant Latino population 'Re-Mexicanizes' the U.S. into a more multicultural and multiethnic society. This book will be a valuable resource for political and social activists and teaching tool for political theory, Latino politics, ethnic and minority politics, race relations in the United States, and social movements.

Review
Armando Navarro has written a sweeping panorama of the role and importance of political culture in Chicano history. It revises the general stereotype of the apolitical Mexican and scholarly documents the central role of political agency among Chicanos. (Mario T. Garcia )
The Mexican Political Experience in Occupied Aztlán represents an important contribution to Chicano scholarship. Armando Navarro is a major participant in the U.S. political scene; he is also a trained political scientist whose work represents the synthesis between scholarship and activism.

This review is from: Mexicano Political Experience in Occupied Aztlan: Struggles and Change (Paperback)
It came in great condition even though it was a used textbook. a little watered damage but nothing that would interfere with the actual text in the book. the book itself is great to have if you're interested in Chicano history, it goes into great detail through different time periods. a must have for anyone interested in Chicano culture and history.

This review is from: Mexicano Political Experience in Occupied Aztlan: Struggles and Change (Paperback)
Navarro predicts that by 2015 half of California will be Brown. By 2025 half of the southwest is going to be Brown. He states that we might have to change the White House to the Brown House. This book underlynies the policital forces that prevent and have prevented Mexicans from taking polictical control.

This review is from: Mexicano Political Experience in Occupied Aztlan: Struggles and Change (Paperback)
Armando Navarro has written a comprehensive political history of the Mexicano in American society. It is difficult reading for some (see other reviews), yet no legitimate historian can argue with the research, the insights and the accuracy of much of what is said here. Rather than a "patriotic" or simply an "adversarial history", Navarro has written a nuanced analysis of what it has been to be Mexican in American society. While some may disagree with his recommendations, they will be hard put to find a better chronicling of this history. Navarro will rank among the best of U.S. scholars of color, and will be known for a long time as one of the most prolific and influential Chicano scholars of all time. Move over Norm Chomsky, Howard Zinn and Rudy Acuna.
