Latinos in American History series.
In Paredes, which profiles the Mexican-American poet, writer, and folklorist, Murcia takes the time to illuminate her subject's character through humorous anecdotes; in contrast, Chavez seems cursory and incomplete--unaccountably, considering its subject was hardly an elusive figure. These two biographies feature photos framed with gaudy colors. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Latinos in American History titles: Americo Paredes and Cesar Chavez.
