Moral Vision of Cesar Chavez

The author looks at the public actions and declarations of United Farm Workers leader Ch̀vez as a window into the ethical structures in which Ch̀vez believed. He argues that Ch̀vez was deeply rooted in a liberatory Catholic social gospel and that he incorporated prayer into his public action. His commitment to nonviolence and his affirmation of the universality of human dignity is explored. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
