Winner of the 2021 ALAA-Thoma Foundation Exhibition Catalogue Award Gold Medal Recipient, U.S. History, 2020 Independent Publisher Book Awards 1st Place, Best Arts Book, 2020 International Latino Book Awards 1st Place, Best Academic-Themed Book, 2020 International Latino Book Awards 1st Place, Best Cover Photo, 2020 International Latino Book Awards Honorable Mention, Victor Villaseñor Best Latino Focused Nonfiction Book Award – English, 2020 International Latino Book AwardsLa Raza, launched in 1967 in the basement of an Eastside LA church, was conceived as a tool for community-based organizing during the early days of the Chicano movement. The all-volunteer staff of the newspaper—and the magazine that followed—informed readers and exhorted them to action through images and articles that showcased protests and demonstrations and documented pervasive social inequity and police abuse. La Raza’s photographers played a critical role as artists, journalists, and activists, creating an unparalleled record of the determination, resilience, and achievements of the Chicano community during a period of profound social change. This catalog presents photographs from the La Raza exhibition at the Autry Museum of the American West and the more than 25,000 images in the La Raza Photograph Collection at the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center. The essays offer not only scholarly assessments of the role of Chicanx photographers in social movements and art history but also personal perspectives from La Raza photographers.
