Book Description
Chicanismo, the idea of what it means to be Chicano, was born in the 1970s, when grassroots activists, academics, and artists joined forces in the civil rights movimiento that spread new ideas about Mexican American history and identity. The community murals those artists painted in the barrios of East Los Angeles were a powerful part of that cultural vitality, and these artworks have been an important feature of LA culture ever since. This book offers detailed analyses of individual East LA murals, sets them in social context, and explains how they were produced. The authors, leading experts on mural art, use a distinctive methodology, analyzing the art from aesthetic, political, and cultural perspectives to show how murals and graffiti reflected and influenced the Chicano civil rights movement. This publication is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Furthermore, a program of the J. M. Kaplan Fund.

Book Description
"As author Jos? A. Ramirez demonstrates in To the line of fire!, the events of World War I and its aftermath would decisively transform the Tejano community, as war-hardened veterans returned with new, broadened perspectives. They led their people in opposing prejudice and discrimination, founded several civil rights groups, and eventually merged them into the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the largest and oldest surviving Hispanic civil rights organization in the United States. Ramirez also shows the diversity of reaction to the war on the part of the Tejano community: while some called enthusiastically for full participation in the war effort, others acted coolly, or only out of fear of reprisal. Similarly, the U.S. government, on the one hand, feared Tejanos might engage in anti-U.S. activity; on the other hand, the U.S. military displayed a cultural sensitivity toward Tejano soldiers that was remarkable for its time"--Jacket.
