I have spent the last five weeks in Oxnard writing a chapter titled, ¡Ya Basta!: The Struggle For Justice And Equality On The Oxnard Plain, which covers the Chicano Movement and UFW during the 1970s. Now, I’m returning to Michigan to finish the conclusion, do some editing, and revising of some chapters. My goal is to turn in a draft of my dissertation by the first week of May 2011 to my advisor. Wish me luck! Also, check out the flyer my mother saved for over 40 years (see below).
