Description
Juan Herrera maps 1960s Chicano Movement activism in the Latinx neighborhood of Fruitvale in Oakland, California, showing how activists there constructed a politics forged through productions of space.
“In Cartographic Memory, Juan Herrera carefully and elegantly examines Chicano movement activism and its legacies in Oakland, California’s Fruitvale neighborhood. . . . In these two ways—its analysis of the movement’s dynamic production of space, and in its focus on Oakland—Cartographic Memory is a signal achievement.”
"This book will helpfully inform the next generation of geographers, activists, and students on the crucial impact space has on social movements, and the ways social movements shape space and place."
Juan Herrera is Assistant Professor of Geography at the University of California, Los Angeles.
