Description

"Hughes-Bautista shows how the meaning of Cinco de Mayo has shifted over time: it embodied immigrant nostaligia in the 1930s, U.S. patriotism during World War II, Chicano power in the 1960s and 1970s, and commercial intentions in the 1980s and 1990s. Today it continues to reflect the aspirations of a community that is engaged, empowered, and expanding"--P. [4] of cover.
