As the heyday of the Chicano Movement of the late 1960s to early '70s fades further into history and as more and more of its important figures pass on, so too does knowledge of its significance. Thus, Chicano Movement for Beginners is an important attempt to stave off historical amnesia. It seeks to shed light on the multifaceted civil rights struggle known as "El Movimiento" that galvanized the Mexican American community, from laborers to student activists, giving them not only a political voice to combat prejudice and inequality, but also a new sense of cultural awareness and ethnic pride.

Beyond commemorating the past, Chicano Movement for Beginners seeks to reaffirm the goals and spirit of the Chicano Movement for the simple reason that many of the critical issues Mexican American activists first brought to the nation's attention then - educational disadvantage, endemic poverty, political exclusion, and social bias - remain as pervasive as ever almost half a century later.

Very educational, I learned a lot. It’s making more, and more sense now. I am more proud to be a Chicano, I can’t wait until my Raza, has a lot more access to higher learning. I just want to thank the ones before us who paved the way, and everyone after who continues to keep our history Alive. And who fight for equality and equal rights. Because they don’t want us to know the truth about our history, because we will get inspired and motivated an start an uprising. The United States is designed for the white people, it is not for people of color. That’s why they do not teach our history in schools from K to 12, and have gate keepers who not want you to get a higher learning education. They want you to quit and fail, So continue to teach and learn our history, and fight for our Raza..

Very good book for beginners like me.

Im a beginner Chicana artist and was researching Montoya. Came across this title and wow! What a wonderful well thought out book he's gifted the community with. This book covers so much that many Chicanos know nothing of. A must read that I will pass on to my children. The narrator was spectacular. Highly recommend
