A new look at ‘The Chicano Experience’ — Professor Alfredo Mirande’s 1985 foundational sociology book has a completely revised second edition. Professor Mirandé’s foundational 1985 book analyzing the Chicano experience in the United States has been revised. On September 7, University of Notre Dame Press announced the release of a second edition of “The Chicano Experience: An Alternative Perspective,” a text that offers fundamental sociological perspectives of the lives of the largest minority group in the United States. This edition provides a new interpretation of social, cultural, historical and economic drivers that shape Chicano/Latino lives today. “I wanted to write a book about Chicanos from the perspective and lived experience of a Chicano,” said Mirandé, a University of California, Riverside distinguished professor of #sociology and ethnic studies, who spent the last five years researching and updating data for this second volume. “Thirty-seven years later, here is the updated version.” University of Notre Dame Press officials wrote in a news release. “With updated chapters revised in light of contemporary scholarship, this second edition speaks to the Chicano of today, in addition to puertorrique?os, Central Americans, and other groups who share common experiences of colonization, racialization, and, especially in the last decade, demonization.” Profe Mirandé, who has been teaching at UCR since 1974, is the author of 11 books, including “Gringo Justice” (1994), “The Stanford Law Chronicles” (2005), and “Jalos, USA” (2014), all published by the University of Notre Dame Press. He was recently working on his 12th book, to be published by The University of Arizona Press in 2023. ( University of Arizona ) ??: The Chicano Experience / Chicago Scholar #ChicagoScholar

I had a full circle moment today! 11 years ago, I entered the The College of Education at The University of Texas at Austin as a master’s student in higher education. ???? Today, I came into the building to teach Qualitative Methods in the Executive Ed.D. in Higher Education Leadership - University of Texas at Austin program. We started off the morning using one of my mentor’s Teresa McCarty teaching practices. Having students interview & introduce each other to the class as I mapped all the amazing skills, lived experiences, & knowledge they bring with them into the classroom ????????
