Rezensionen

At this crucial moment in our nation's history 'the immigration moment' the witness of Cesar Chavez gives us reason to hope. As we face the gift and task of just and lasting immigration reform, this collection of Chavez' writings reminds us that true reform of any kind must be nurtured and sustained by a lively faith and a vibrant spirituality.--Cardinal Roger Mahony, Archbishop of Los Angeles
