520    "César E. Chávez came to Oxnard, California, in 1958, 
       twenty years after he lived briefly in the city as a child
       with his migrant farmworker family during the Great 
       Depression. This time Chávez returned as the organizer of 
       the Community Service Organization to support the 
       unionization campaign of the United Packinghouse Workers 
       of America. Together the two groups challenged the 
       agricultural industry's use of braceros (imported contract
       laborers) who displaced resident farmworkers. The Mexican 
       and Mexican American populations in Oxnard were involved 
       in cultural struggles and negotiations long before Chávez 
       led them in marches and active protests. Curious Unions 
       explores the ways in which the Mexican community forged 
       intriguing partnerships with other ethnic groups within 
       Oxnard in the first half of the twentieth century and the 
       resulting economic exchanges, cultural practices, and 
       labor and community activism. Frank P. Barajas examines 
       how the Oxnard ethnic Mexican population exercised its 
       agency in alliance with other groups and organizations to 
       meet their needs before large-scale protests and labor 
       unions were engaged. Curious Unions charts how the 
       cultural negotiations that took place in the Oxnard ethnic
       Mexican community helped shape and empower farm labor 
       organizing."--Provided by publisher.
