"In this well-researched and detailed book, Jose Angel Gutierrez, as a scholar and a fearless leader for decades on behalf of Chicanas and Chicanos in the U.S., does an excellent job in exposing the civil/human rights abuses of the American government in general and oppressive FBI apparatus in particular against los de abajo. As a self-described Chicano militant, the author exposes a contradiction of the FBI's racist surveillance against brown people, where the gaze of Big Brother doesn't differentiate in spying on righteous militants, aspiring for radical/structural transformations, versus moderate Mexican Americans and groups, seeking reformist changes." -- Alvaro Huerta, California State Polytechnic University
