Beskrivning
Warriors for Social Justice examines the contributions of Mexican American activists to the nation’s democratic values by concentrating on the activism of Maria JimÉnez (1950–2020) in Houston, Texas. Linda J. Quintanilla documents how JimÉnez and other activists advanced social justice by promoting our nation’s best virtues, especially equality. Quintanilla describes JimÉnez’s lifelong battle against injustice, be it racist, sexist, or anti-immigrant animus. The Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride in 2003, only one of her many impressive achievements, delighted her the most.

Maria JimÉnez is one of the most important Latinas in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This is an essential biography of a transnational political activist, organizer, and thinker placed in the context of Houston, a city that witnessed major global changes in the twentieth century." - Cynthia Orozco, author of No Mexicans, Women, or Dogs Allowed
