Cesar Chavez: Autobiography of La Causa

Jacques E. Levy
Foreword by Fred Ross Jr.
Afterward by Jacqueline M. Levy

The only authorized biography of Cesar Chavez featuring three reflective essays new to this edition.

Mexican-American civil rights and labor activist Cesar Chavez (1927-1993) comes to life in this vivid portrait of the charismatic and influential fighter who boycotted supermarkets and took on corporations, the government, and the powerful Teamsters Union. Jacques E. Levy gained unprecedented access to Chavez and the United Farm Workers in writing this account of one of the most successful labor movements in history, which also serves as a guidebook for social and political change.
