Chicano! A Conference on the Emerging Historiography of the Chicano Movement

This is the first major confernce on the emerging historiography of the Chicano Movement as witnessed by the several scholars who will be presenting on their recently published books or on their book projects on the Movement. More than 40 years after many of the key events of the Chicano Movement, historians and other scholars with the distance of time are now rexamining and assessing the various aspects of the most significant civil rights and empowerment struggle by Chicanos in the United States. This conference will call attention to the emergence of what we can now call Movement Studies as part of Chicano Studies.
We are very excited about the pathbreaking nature of this conference and I along with my colleagues and students in the Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies and the Chicano Studies Institute here at UCSB would like to invite you to join us for the conference.

Thank you,
