 * Discuss the term "Chicano": Historical Context**

A Chicano is an individual of Mexican parentage or ancestry who lives in the United States. Chicano is often used synonymously with Mexican-American, although many Chicanos presently make an ideological distinction between the two terms.

The Mexicans immigrating to the U.S. in the early part of this century were largely refugees from the turmoil of the Mexican Revolution (1910)

War=chaos for many years which lead to disruption in education, job training,

Consequently, many immigrants to the U.S. during this time were for the most part uneducated and unskilled. This+learning a new language= many Chicanos only allowed access to menial, unskilled types of jobs, usually in agriculture.

Stereotypes emerged where Chicanos=people who were poor, unskilled, uneducated, ignorant, and backward.

Poor conditions leading to more Chicanos on welfare (stereotypes: lazy, poor, milking system)

Labor strikes led by Cesar Chavez for civil rights (fair labor laws, pay, conditions, etc.) furthered stereotypes (troublemakers, violent)

1960s—El Movimiento 1) Honor/have pride in heritage and culture 2) Work for betterment/welfare of community (celebrate future potential) 3) Fight for continued civil rights and equal opportunity
