Explore Firsthand Accounts of Latino Social Movements in the United States
The Latino Social and Political Culture and History series connects researchers to the rich history of multiple cultures that flourished throughout Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Iberian Peninsula and brought their heritage and experiences to the United States. Documenting the movements that continue to have an impact on Latino rights and social justice, these materials highlight national and grassroots Latino organizations and histories of activists and cultural icons in the Latino community.
Through these collections, researchers can trace the history of social issues—from labor rights to antiwar protests to land reclamation—and the leaders and movements that led to social reforms, government representation, and greater self-determination for Latin Americans. Sources include organizational papers, personal papers, monographs, manuscripts, periodicals, correspondence and letters, historical photos, ephemera, and more insightful historical documents.
Although material covering ethnic groups can be found throughout many Gale Primary Sources collections and Archives Unbound, this series joins Indigenous Peoples of North America as two of our major archive programs offering twentieth-century materials about North American Indigenous communities.
