        American - Poverty, drug addiction, a parody of backwoods stereotypes.
        
        "Poor and working-class whites have tended to be painted as spectators, reactionaries, and, even, racists. Most Americans, the story goes, just watched the political movements of the sixties go by. James Tracy and Amy Sonnie, who have been interviewing activists from the 1960s for nearly ten years, reject this old narrative. In five tightly conceived chapters, they show that poor and working-class whites, inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and the Black Panther Party, started to organize significant political movements against racism and inequality during the 1960s. Their book explores an untold history the New Left."

        Brown Berets
        
        "Street takeovers, demonstrations and marches as well as Aztec Dancers, jarocho music and hiphop flows were part of events around the city. Activists, union leaders and members of immigrant and Chicano rights organizations spoke in solidarity with the immigrants rights movement, denouncing racism, patriarchy, imperialism and white supremacy.
        On August 29, 1970, a protest against the Vietnam War organized by Chicano Power activists in East Los Angeles was violently targeted by police. Organizations such as the Brown Berets developed a political ideology of Chicano Nationalism and the link between Chicanos living in the US and Mexico. Among the brutal acts of police repression was the murder of three people, including the left journalist Ruben Salazar."
        
        "If you are beaten down, I am beaten down; if the cops succeed in attacking Black people, it is a setback for all oppressed people. Even more so being a comrade as a word is also a word of struggle. There is a war being enacted on us- this war is waged our communities through evictions and gentrification, in our schools through budget cuts, white washing history and police on campus and our workplaces because we are paid less than what we produce- we are super-exploited. There is a war is a war even on our cars through the retenes. We must be comrades in the class war being enacted upon us...
        Capitalism is racist but it also targets Blacks, Latinos, Chicanos and immigrants (or a combination of those) with the same viciousness. We are not part of separate struggles and we need to unite and challenge each other. Organize for socialism and a Black and Brown united fight against capitalism. We are not allies we are comrades in the struggle!!"
