Cesar Chavez: Fighting for Farmworkers (Graphic Library: Graphic Biographies) Reviews
-
It’s a book about his life. It’s amazing what he was able to do.
-
This particular book uses a mixture of actual historical events and dialogue and fictionalized dialogue in order to dramatize the story in a graphic novel format. It offers an unusual energy and vigorousness to the image of Cesar Chavez, representing him as a fighter more than the peaceful, soft-spoken man that most of the literature I've read celebrated. It is a positive presentation, and is the first children's text I've encountered that talks about his collaboration with Filipino workers and his early introduction to the movement.
I would love using this to enhance a unit on labor rights, or offer it during Cesar Chavez Day (March 30), or Hispanic Heritage Month. -
This book was informative, giving more more information about an activist I find really inspiring. Now that I know more about/ have been thinking more about economics-- I made a lot of connections to what we've talked about in class.
It really made me think about who gets hurt and who benefits when we want things for cheap prices or want things delivered immediately. What humans are a part of making that happen for the consumer and how are they treated? Like humans? Or not? Is it our responsibility as consumers to know about this..? -
Cesar lived with his poor famliy worcking at the crack of dawan with no rights . He will rises to be a lenagad. If thy man rises with friends he shall be called a hero. With cherz hard at wrock willing to give rights to the fram worckers. His frights for all to see wht is happing. Soon he will make histroy . For everyone to learn aubto him.
