- Summary
- "Through interviews, written testimonies, and documents, the development of Barrios Unidos - or literally, united neighborhoods - is reconstructed from its early influences and guiding principles to its larger connection to the on-going struggle to achieve civil rights in America. The text is complemented by historical photos and commentaries by leading civil rights activists Harry Belafonte, Dolores Huerta, Tom Hayden, Manuel Pastor, and Constance Rice. Mandatory reading for anyone interested in peace and social justice, The History of Barrios Unidos gives voice to contemporary inter-generational leaders of color and will lead to the continuation of necessary public dialogue about racism, poverty, and violence."--book jacket.
