Scholar and activist Paul Ortiz challenges the notion of westward progress as exalted by widely taught formulations like “manifest destiny” and “Jacksonian democracy,” and shows how placing African American, Latinx, and Indigenous voices unapologetically front and center transforms US history into one of the working class organizing against imperialism. Drawing on rich narratives and primary source documents, Ortiz links racial segregation in the Southwest and the rise and violent fall of a powerful tradition of Mexican labor organizing in the twentieth century, to May 1, 2006, known as International Workers’ Day, when migrant laborers—Chicana/os, Afrocubanos, and immigrants from every continent on earth—united in resistance on the first “Day Without Immigrants.” As African American civil rights activists fought Jim Crow laws and Mexican labor organizers warred against the suffocating grip of capitalism, Black and Spanish-language newspapers, abolitionists, and Latin American revolutionaries coalesced around movements built between people from the United States and people from Central America and the Caribbean. In stark contrast to the resurgence of “America First” rhetoric, Black and Latinx intellectuals and organizers today have historically urged the United States to build bridges of solidarity with the nations of the Americas. Incisive and timely, this bottom-up history, told from the interconnected vantage points of Latinx and African Americans, reveals the radically different ways that people of the diaspora have addressed issues still plaguing the United States today, and it offers a way forward in the continued struggle for universal civil rights. 2018 Winner of the PEN Oakland/Josephine Miles Literary Award Review: A wonderful read! - This book is a piece of art. It takes you on a journey into raw American history BUT NOT ISOLATED a from the world. Our history is showcased in context, as piece in the larger puzzle called world history. This book isn’t for those looking for a Disney version of US history. Also, it’s constant referencing to intersectionality between the struggle of the “other”, the black and brown people of the americas, and beyond, is refreshing and vindicating. Please read with an open mind and heart. USA’s history isn’t pink and sweet, it is sour and mostly bitter. It is our responsibility to be aware of our past and committed to be better humans, now and later. Review: Eye opening. - Very good at weaving black and brown history into traditionally taught history. Great at setting the scene for how and why events in other places precipitated into events in the US. There is an overabundance of historical figures I never knew existed. I am loving this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #22,529 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Hispanic American Demographic Studies #50 in African American Demographic Studies (Books) #123 in Sociology Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,387 Reviews | ## Images ![An African American and Latinx History of the United States (ReVisioning History) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91HjJ1K00aL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful read! *by E***O on July 17, 2021* This book is a piece of art.
