“The first major book on the Chicano movement by one of its leaders, who is also a first-rate scholar. Youth, Identity, Power is certain to be a benchmark for all future work on the subject. An important … contribution to the history of the 1960s, it … should be required reading.”—Clayborne Carson
“A very important and powerful book, documenting American history … without question, one of the lodestones in reference to the ‘movimiento.’”—Luis Valdez
“An essential record of the Chicano movement and an important addition to the history of American social protest.”—San Francisco Chronicle
