Reviews for The Revolutionary Imaginations of Greater Mexico: Chicana/o Radicalism, Solidarity Politics, and Latin American Social Movements
Gomez has contributed substantially to our understanding of the transnational Chicana/o Left, and to broader currents in the emergence of Latina/o identity during the 1970s....It will be of use both in Trump-era social movements and in graduate and advanced undergraduate courses, especially history and Latina/o studies offerings that focus on social movements, borderlands, and/or cultural studies.
