Book Review

¡Raza Si! ¡Guerra No!: Chicano Protest and Patriotism during the Viet Nam War Era. By Lorena Oropeza. (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2005. xviii + 278 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $21.95, paper.)

¡Raza Si! ¡Guerra No! is an important and thought-provoking study investigating the impact of the Viet Nam War on the Chicano movement. Lorena Oropeza convincingly argues that opposition to the war in Viet Nam fundamentally shaped the politics of Chicano activists. Employing original oral histories, mainstream and ethnic newspapers, poetry and film, and numerous community archives, Oropeza charts how Chicano anti-war activists protested and built political unity as they navigated ideological, gender, and class fissures within the broader Chicano movement, anti-war effort, and Mexican American community. Ultimately, the book is a chronicle of how young Chicanos simultaneously struggled to make sense of the war in Southeast Asia and claim their own ethnic identity and place in American society.
