"Armando Navarro, in a scholarly and lucid narrative, has brilliantly located the place of La Raza Unida Party in both Chicano and U.S. history." -Mario T. Garcia, author of Memories of Chicano History: The Life and Narrative of Bert Corona and Mexican Americans: Leadership, Ideology and Identity "This superbly researched study of La Raza Unida Party clearly demonstrates how and why the idealistic Chicano generation rejected 'politics as usual' to help their raza. In recounting the story of one of the most significant American political alternatives in the twentieth century, Narvarro succeeds in the difficult task of blending passion with objectivity." -F. Arturo Rosales, Professor of History, Arizona State University "Armando Navarro's work provides us with the definitive study of La Raza Unida Party. His impressive and comprehensive historical analysis of this important American third party combines the insights of the participant observer with the research methodologies and theoretical context of the trained scholar." -Mario Barrera, Professor Emeritus, Department of Ethnic Studies, University of California, Berkeley, and author of Race and Class in the Southwest
