While the movement is known for Cesar Chavez’s leadership and considered a Chicano movement, Filipinos played a pivotal role. Filipino labor organizer, Larry Itliong, a cigar-chomping union veteran, organized a group of 1500 Filipinos to strike against the grape growers of Delano, California, beginning a collaboration between Filipinos, Chicanos and other ethnic workers that would go on for years."

Vea responded in a similar vein to a question regarding his cultural background: “I’m Mexican, Yaqui and Filipino. But lineage isn’t the totality of anybody’s cultural background. I grew up the first few years of my life with Indians on the reservation, and black people from the dust bowl, and a lot of Irish and Okies. So I think those are my cultural background, too.” [Gale Literature: Scribner Writer Series] This book is for in-library use only. Please ask staff for assistance to view this title. Show less

Strike!

The Farm Workers' Fight for Their Rights

This informative volume offers a detailed, nuanced discussion of the man and the California agricultural workers' movement. The story begins in 1965, with Filipino farm workers leaving the vineyards to strike for better wages and living conditions. Next, Brimner follows Chávez as he grows up in a family of migrant workers, becomes an organizer, and leads the National Farm Workers of America for many years, using tactics such as strikes, boycotts, and fasting. The book's large format and spacious design offer plenty of room for text, many black-and-white photos, stylized illustrations, wide borders, sidebars, and quotes (in Spanish and English). Though portraying Chávez as hardworking, inspirational, and effective, the book also shows him as a controversial leader who, later in life, could be high-handed in directing what "his" union would do. Brimner also credits the contributions of Larry Itliong, from the Filipino movement, as well as Dolores Huerta and others within the NFWA while placing events within the political and social context of their turbulent times. Well researched, well sourced, and clearly written, this book is an excellent resource for young people. Copyright 2014 Booklist Reviews. Show less
