The Chicano Movement of the 1960s and '70s, like so much of the period's politics, is best known for its radicalism. Less understood was the movement's moderate elements. This book presents the first full account of these more mainstream liberal activists-those who rejected the politics of protest and worked within the system.

Here, the author provides a history of ""musica tejana"", a vibrant form of American music. He relates its ups and downs and its importance to Mexican Texas culture in the context of Anglo-Mexican relations. He also discusses the recently-developed recording industry and the role of women.

In this book, the author traces the evolution of the community's political activism in education during the Chicano Movement era of the early 1970s. He identifies the implications of this struggle for Mexican Americans and for public education. It is aimed at those interested in public school policy, and scholars of Mexican American history.
