Building on recent scholarship, this book pushes the timeframe for the study of interactions between blacks and a variety of Latino\/a groups beyond the standard chronology of the civil rights era. As such, the book merges a host of community histories--each with their own distinct historical experiences and activisms--to explore group dynamics, differing strategies and activist moments, and the broader quests of these communities for rights and social justice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe collection is framed around the concept of \"activism,\" which most fully encompasses the relationships that blacks and Latinos have enjoyed throughout the twentieth century. Wide ranging and pioneering, \u003ci\u003eCivil Rights and Beyond \u003c\/i\u003eexplores black and Latino\/a activism from California to Florida, Chicago to Bakersfield--and a host of other communities and cities--to demonstrate the complicated nature of African American-Latino\/a activism in the twentieth-century United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e Brian D.
