The Mexican American barrios of the west and south sides were characterized by substandard housing and experienced seasonal flooding. Gang warfare broke out regularly. Then the striking farm-workers of South Texas marched through the city and set off a social movement that transformed the barrios and ultimately brought down the old Anglo oligarchy. In &#8220;Quixote&#8217;s Soldiers&#8221;, David Montejano uses a wealth of previously untapped sources, including the congressional papers of Henry B. Gonzalez, to present an intriguing and highly readable account of this turbulent period. Montejano divides the narrative into three parts. In the first part, he recounts how college student activists and politicized social workers mobilized barrio youth and mounted an aggressive challenge to both Anglo and Mexican American political elites. In the second part, Montejano looks at the dynamic evolution of the Chicano movement and the emergence of clear gender and class distinctions as women and ex-gang youth struggled to gain recognition as serious political actors. In the final part, Montejano analyzes the failures and successes of movement politics. He describes the work of second-generation movement organizations that made possible a new and more representative political order, symbolized by the election of Mayor Henry Cisneros in 1981. \u00a9 1998-2001 Amazon.com, Inc. und Tochtergesellschaften<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/gp\/product\/0292721242?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=interassocofi-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=19454&amp;creativeASIN=0292721242\" target=\"_blank\">Buy at Amazon.com<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/gp\/product\/0292722907?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=interassocofi-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=19454&amp;creativeASIN=0292722907\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Buy at Amazon.de<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Montejano, David. <em>Quixote&#8217;s Soldiers: A Local History of the Chicano Movement, 1966-1981<\/em>. 2010<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the mid-1960s, San Antonio, Texas, was a segregated city governed by an entrenched Anglo social and business elite.
