Chicano - Latino Reference Sources

Here are my favorite reference books that I use with a course I teach in the Chicano Studies Department. Spanish language reference sources are not in the scope. The file is converted from Word for Windows 7.0. If the =20 appears at the end of each paragraph there was a network problem in the conversion, in which case I can set it up as a web document and you should be able to then download from the CEMA url adrress.
