Labor Rights Are Civil Rights by Zaragosa Vargas
In 1937, Mexican workers were among the strikers and supporters beaten, arrested, and murdered by Chicago policemen in the now infamous Republic Steel Mill Strike. This book paints a multifaceted portrait of the complexities and contours of the Mexican American struggle for equality from the 1930s to the postwar era.
"Important books are provocative--they teach us new things, open new conversations, and point the way to new researchLabor Rights Are Civil Rights does all of this."--Roberto R. Trevino, Reviews in American History "Vargas does much to chronicle the role of Mexican American workers in the turbulent decades of the 1930s and 1940s and to document their important role in the labor struggles and political controversies of those years."--Robert H. Zieger, Labor History "Vargas has produced a synthesis of Mexican American labor history worthy of the attention of every labor, Chicano, and civil rights historian."--Matt Garcia, Western Historical Quarterly "Vargas's analysis is at once informative and illuminating."--Clete Daniel, Business History Review
