Albert A. Pe?a Jr.: Dean of Chicano Politics

The political and social impact that Albert A. Pe a Jr. had on the lives of Mexican Americans, and later Chicanos, is by all counts immeasurable. However, in part because Chicano biography has traditionally been a neglected research area among academics generally and Chicano Studies scholars specifically, his life's work has not featured prominently in any biographical work to date, making this volume the first of its kind. It provides a richly detailed documentation of Pe a's life and career, from blue collar worker to judge and essay writer, spanning nearly ninety years. Readers will find that at the heart of his story is a focus on grassroots organizing and politics, sharing leadership, and a commitment to social justice.
