Chicano Manifesto appeared 25 years ago as the first book written by a Chicano to give vibrant expression to the spirit of a cultural revolution. Today, Manifesto appears at a time of intense racial fear and hatred toward Chicanos an Latinos in the United States. Manifesto still serves as a rallying cry for action; as long as forces with in the country persist in using fear and hatred to divide, we will not be able to understand nor accept the value of a diverse society.
