- Description
- The essayist Adela Sloss-Vento (1901-1998) was a powerhouse of activism in South Texas's Lower Rio Grande Valley throughout the Mexican American civil rights movement beginning in 1920 and the subsequent Chicano movement of the 1960s and 1970s. . .This book revives the history of a major female Latina leader. Bringing to light the economic and political transformations that swept through South Texas in the 1920s as ranching declined and agribusiness proliferated, the author situates Sloss-Vento's early years within the context of the Jim Crow/Juan Crow era. . .The author also highlights a partnership with Alonso S. Perales, the principal founder of the League of United Latin American Citizens. It was such a contradiction for her to tolerate LULAC's gender-segregated chapters as Sloss-Vento was an outspoken critic of male privilege in the home and a decidedly progressive wife and mother.

- Description
- American writer, cultural activist and Latina feminist Cherríe Moraga (1952) tells the life story of her mother Elvira Moraga (1913), from a young girl cotton picking in California, a cigarette girl in Mexico, her relationship with a white man to an old woman suffering Alzheimer's disease. Alongside her mother's story she traces her own discovery of her queer body and lesbian identity, and examines her mixed blood, her passion for activism and the history of her community. In the meantime she tells the larger story of the Mexican American diaspora: what it means to be Mexican in the United States, the nearly forgotten diaspora's Indigenous origins and America's cultural loss.
