Mexican Americans/Chicana/os/Chicanx form a majority of the Latino population in the United States. Focusing on the Pacific Northwest and the Midwest, Jerry Garcia, editor of the groundbreaking We Are Aztlán!: Chicanx Histories in the Northern Borderlands, discusses their role and experiences in the Chicanx movement beyond the Southwest, to illuminate how Chicanxs have challenged racialization, marginalization, and isolation in the northern borderlands. The book was selected as a CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title with a Community College Recommendation. http://delphiinternational.com/event/aztlan-chicanx-histories-northern-borderlands-jerry-garcia/
