Review
“John Hammerback and Richard Jensen offer the most complete and insightful look to date at César Chávez’s life and work through his spoken and written words. For me, reading their book is like turning the pages of a family photo album; it brings back many memories of both good times and bad. What shines through is a man whose life affirmed Gandhi’s conviction that `in a gentle way you can shake the world.’”--Marc Grossman, communications director, United Farm Workers of America, AFL-CIO, and former press secretary and aide to César Chávez
(Marc Grossman, communications director, United Farm Workers of America, AFL-CIO, )

Thorough analysis of hundreds of Chavez' quotes,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rhetorical Career of Cesar Chavez (Hardcover)
As one of Chavez' former secretaries, it was interesting to see Cesar's very personal, conversational speaking style analyzed so diligently. In addition, readers see Cesar in the context of his work with farm workers and the general public, which he approached for support of the grape, lettuce, and other boycotts. While a plum piece of reading for academicians, it warrants reading by anyone interested in Cesar and his speaking style--such a person might find the work weighty and often repetitious. There's no question, though, nothing more thorough has been published about the man so far. The material is helpful for my own upcoming books on my friendship with Cesar.
