THIS ESSAY IS AN ATTEMPT TO MAP IN BROAD GENERAL TERMS THE origins and development of the Chicano movement in the United States from approximately 1965 to the present. As a prolegomenon to a larger research project on this topic, what is sketched below is but a thematic blueprint, devoid of all the baroque embellishments that greater space and time would permit. As a person who was weaned politically on the rhetorical claims of the movement, and as a university professor who has taught courses on Chicano history for well over ten years, the account presented here mixes insider and outsider knowledge drawn primarily from the fields of anthropology, history, literature, and sociology.
