Hijas de Cuauhtémoc Chicano Newspapers
California State University, Long Beach, California
March 1971
In the 1960s, a radicalized Mexican-American movement began pushing for a new identification. The Chicano Movement, aka El Movimiento, advocated social and political empowerment through a chicanismo or cultural nationalism. Independently published newspapers were critical in the formation and documentation of the movement.
