I Can’t Stand Radical Chicanoism
Published by in (modern day) Liberalism, Academia, Chicanoism, General and Hispanics (Minority Issues). 34 CommentsI can’t stand radical, and even most forms of moderate, Chicanoism. A case in point is Marcos Aguilar, most known for assisting in occupying (and laying to waste) the Faculty Center at UCLA in 1993 that resulted in the creation of the Chicano Studies major dept.
Aguilar is back in the spotlight, as founder and principal […]
