VIVA KENNEDY
Mexican Americans in Search of Camelot

violence in the barrio. Here, Garcia profiles the Viva Kennedy
Clubs that consisted of Latino reformers supporting the
Kennedy campaign. Their dreams ended in disappointment,
but despite this, the Clubs led record numbers of Mexican
Americans to participate in politics, contributing to an
important identity-building process. $29.95
