Produktbeschreibung

Once asked to explain how he had sustained himself over so many years of struggle, César Chávez responded: "I don't think I could base my will to struggle on cold economics or some political doctrine. For me, the base must be faith."

In evaluating the life and struggles of César Chávez, one of the most recognized Latino leaders in the United States and the first labor leader to successfully organize and unionize U.S. farm workers, many historians, journalists, and other writers have largely missed one significant factor of his life-his faith and deep spirituality. The Gospel of César Chávez uses the prolific leader's own words to express his profound faith and the way it shaped his life and leadership.

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
