Chicano studies: forging identity – development of Chicano studies as a discipline

Carlos Munoz, Chicano studies professor at the University of California-Berkeley, says the relatively large influx of Chicano students into universities unleashed a political movement focused on civil and human rights and an intellectual movement that both challenged historical knowledge and created the discipline of Chicano studies.

Building Aztlan – resurgence of Chicano activism on campus

Some Chicano scholars say the beginning of the Chicano activist movement was the defense of Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City) in 1521, which pitted the indigenous Mexican population against Spanish invaders. Others define it as the end of the Mexican-American War in 1848, when Mexico lost half of its territory to the United States and Mexican residents became, as one scholar put it, “strangers in their own land.”

Back to the ‘schoolhouse.’ – James Hood returns to University of Alabama for a doctorate degree – Recruitment & Retention

When James Hood integrated the University of Alabama under the watchful eye of a national television audience in 1963, education was the farthest career from his mind. He was planning to earn a degree, enter a seminary and become a minister. More than three decades later, Hood has returned to the university where he and Vivian Malone, the other Black student who enrolled with him, defied then Gov. George Wallace’s pledge to prevent desegregation efforts to earn a doctorate degree and to continue to nurture his love of education. That love has been focused for many years on community college education.
