Historical Note The Militant began publication in New York City in 1928 as the weekly newspaper of the Communist League of America, whose leaders had just been expelled from the Communist Party, U.S.A. The Communist League of America was a part of the International Left Opposition of the communist movement led by Leon Trotsky. The Militant has continued publication in close association with the Socialist Workers Party, successor to the Communist League of America. The Anchor Foundation donated the collection to the Hoover Institution Archives in 2004. Scope and Content of Collection Register of The Militant 2004C51 2 Photographic Collection The Militant Photographic Collection consists of pictorial material created or collected by the staff of The Militant for possible publication as in the newspaper. The material varies considerably in composition, including original photographic prints and contact sheets made by The Militant staff members during the course of reporting trips, stock photographic prints received from other sources, and some printed illustrations from published media sources. There are also a few original cartoons. While there is some older material, most of it dates from the period of the 1960s to the 1990s. Aside from a small series of cartoons, the collection is arranged in two large series, corresponding to domestic (United States) and international (non-U.S.) subjects respectively. Domestic subjects that are especially well represented include the antiwar movement from the Vietnam War on, labor strikes and union organization efforts, the civil rights movement and efforts to secure racial justice and equality, and the women's rights movement, including abortion rights advocacy. Photographs of mass demonstrations and other protests are especially notable. Other domestic photographs portray leaders and activities of the Socialist Workers Party and its youth group and of the affiliated Pathfinder Press and The Militant. The international series includes photographs from almost every country in the world. They depict world leaders, political and military events, mass demonstrations, and social and economic conditions. Particularly voluminous and notable are photographs resulting from The Militant reporting trips to Cuba, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Grenada, post-1990 South Africa and post-1975 Vietnam. Users of The Militant Photographic Collection should be aware of the closely related Pathfinder Press Photographic Collection also in the Hoover Institution Archives. The Militant Photographic Collection includes only a small number of negatives, but, in many cases, negatives corresponding to photographic prints in it may be found in the Pathfinder Press Photographic Collection. The Pathfinder Press Photographic Collection includes a large series of negatives arranged in numerical order. Negatives corresponding to prints in both collections are interfiled in this series and may be located by consulting negative numbers written on the backs of prints. Arrangement Arranged into three series: Cartoons, Domestic (United States) Scenes, and International (Non-United States) Scenes. Arranged alphabetically within series.

    Transculturalism in Chicano Literature, Visual Art, and Film Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of Global Studies Jerónimo Arellano, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Global Studies by Sarah Mabry August 2018 Transculturalism in Chicano Literature, Visual Art, and Film Copyright by Sarah Mabry © 2018 Dedication Here I acknowledge those individuals by name and those remaining anonymous that have encouraged and inspired me on this journey. First, I would like to dedicate this to my great grandfather, Jerome Head, a surgeon, published author, and painter. Although we never had the opportunity to meet on this earth, you passed along your works of literature and art. Gleaned from your manuscript entitled A Search for Solomon, ¨As is so often the way with quests, whether they be for fish or buried cities or mountain peaks or even for money or any other goal that one sets himself in life, the rewards are usually incidental to the journeying rather than in the end itself…I have come to enjoy the journeying.” I consider this project as a quest of discovery, rediscovery, and delightful unexpected turns. I would like mention one of Jerome’s six sons, my grandfather, Charles Rollin Head, a farmer by trade and an intellectual at heart. I remember your Chevy pickup truck filled with farm supplies rattling under the backseat and a tape cassette playing Mozart’s piano sonata No. 16. This old vehicle metaphorically carried a hard work ethic together with an artistic sensibility.

  • Hombres Y Mujeres Muralistas on a Mission: Painting Latino Identities in 1970S San Francisco

    Hombres Y Mujeres Muralistas on a Mission: Painting Latino Identities in 1970S San Francisco

    HOMBRES Y MUJERES MURALISTAS ON A MISSION: PAINTING LATINO IDENTITIES IN 1970S SAN FRANCISCO Cary Cordova American Studies, Dickinson College, Carlisle, PA Abstract This article argues for the importance of murals as cultural texts, consciously formed to entertain, influence, and solidify local and transnational communities. In 1974, two teams of artists painted two legendary murals in San Francisco’s Mission District: In ‘‘Homage to Siqueı´ros,’’ the trio of male muralists presented themselves as heirs to famed Mexican muralists in order to solidify their indictment of conditions in the Americas and counter the participatory role of their patron, the Bank of America. In ‘‘Latino America,’’ the female muralists rejected the Chicano Movement’s emphasis on Mexican masters and declared a new feminist, collaborative iconography. Although the murals were dissimilar in terms of gender, approach, and aesthetics, the muralists were joined in their desire to unite the local Latino community through their depictions of a shared homeland, or an imagined Latin America. This article highlights the aesthetic, cultural, political, gendered, and regional dimensions of Latino identities through the lens of mural creation. Keywords community murals; pan-Latino identity; iconography; Mission District ‘‘An explosion of human colors’’: Murals in ascendance Since the late 1960s, cultural workers in San Francisco’s predominantly Latino Mission District have produced an impressive body of literary and artistic work.

Talamantez Chicano Park and the Chicano Park Murals Chicano Park is a 7.4-acre park located in San Diego City’s Barrio Logan beneath the east-west approach ramps of the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge where the bridge bisects Interstate 5. The park was created in 1970 after residents in Barrio Logan participated in a “takeover” of land that was being prepared for a substation of the California Highway Patrol. Barrio Logan the second largest barrio on the West Coast until national and state transportation and urban renewal public policies, of the 1950’s and 1960’s, relocated thousands of residents from their self-contained neighborhood to create Interstate 5, to rezone the area from residential to light industrial, and to build the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge.
