A multi-chapter book, first of its kind, that identifies, describes, and analyzes FBI documents revealing the hidden history of surveillance of Mexicans and Chicanos in the United States of America.
Jose Angel Gutierrez is emeritus professor of political science at University of Texas in Arlington.
Chapter One: Diego Rivera, the Mexican Muralist Chapter Two: Josefina Fierro, the Hollywood Connection Chapter Three: Carlos Fuentes, the Mexican Novelist Chapter Four: Hector "El Pecas" Marroquin, the Young Socialist Chapter Five: Yolanda Garza and Walter Birdwell of the Houston, Texas MAYO Chapter Chapter Six: The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) Chapter Seven: The Young Citizens for Community Action aka the Brown Berets Chapter Eight: Operation Wetback: The "Ike" Eisenhower's Ethnic Cleansing Program
His volumes (and presumably forthcoming third volume)...make a significant contribution to our ever-evolving understanding of the FBI and its deep interest in a seemingly inexhaustible array of subjects. If the FBI files that are the basis of these books were either eventually scanned and posted online or deposited in a library, Gutierrez's goal of resurrecting these histories would advance considerably. I am confident, as an FBI scholar myself, that these important works will augment future comprehensive histories of the FBI. * Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books * "Jose Angel Gutierrez, achieved in his book an exemplary research work which shows extraordinary tenacity. His originality resulted in the revelation of the abuse of power and impunity carefully documented as the institutionalization of racism and ideological obsessions, in addition to a historical account of internal policies of ethnic hate on the part of the F.B.I." -- Jorge A. Bustamante, Professor Emeritus, The University of Notre Dame
