Chicanismo & Resistance Where You Least Expect
With its examination of Chicanismo in Chicago, Cockroach People reminds everyone about a truism of movements: where you least expect uprising, it appears. “In Chicago the number of Mexicans here during the movement was small and isolated in communities such as South Chicago and Pilsen. No wonder, then, that few of today’s Mexicans can point to a Chicano history in Chicago. It makes sense that they would believe that the Chicano movement was only a Southwestern thing. But it was here.”
