This book is no exception; it sheds much needed light on Sal Castro's struggles to expand educational and civil rights and in so doing prods us to follow in his footsteps and build a more emancipatory future."--Ernesto Chavez, University of Texas at El Paso, "A worthy learning experience.

The Chicano blowouts in Los Angeles schools were such a movement, and Sal Castro helped empower the students. Too many of the terrible conditions they fought against still exist today, and the kind of leadership Castro showed in the l960s is urgently needed in a society where more than a fifth of U.S. students are Latino."--Gary Orfield, co-director, Civil Rights Project/Proyecto Derechos Civiles, UCLA, A compelling story of individual courage and commitment personified by Sal Castro. . . .

Synopsis
In March 1968, thousands of Chicano students walked out of their East Los Angeles high schools and middle schools to protest decades of inferior and discriminatory education in the so-called Mexican Schools. During these historic walkouts, or blowouts, the students were led by Sal Castro, a courageous and charismatic Mexican American teacher who encouraged the students to make their grievances public after school administrators and school board members failed to listen to them. The resulting blowouts sparked the beginning of the urban Chicano Movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s, the largest and most widespread civil rights protests by Mexican Americans in U.S. history. This fascinating testimonio , or oral history, transcribed and presented in Castro's voice by historian Mario T. García, is a compelling, highly readable narrative of a young boy growing up in Los Angeles who made history by his leadership in the blowouts and in his career as a dedicated and committed teacher. Blowout! fills a major void in the history of the civil rights and Chicano movements of the 1960s, particularly the struggle for educational justice., This fascinating oral history transcribed and presented in Castro's voice by historian Mario T.
