The Spirit of Chicano Park / El espiritu del Parque Chicano (Hardback)

The Spirit of Chicano Park / El espiritu del Parque Chicano depicts the historic takeover of a small piece of land located under the Coronado Bridge in San Diego, California. The historic neighborhood of Logan Heights/Barrio Logan, a predominately Chicano community in 1970, took their picks and shovels and built a community park in opposition to the destruction of their neighborhood by eminent domain. It is a story of redemption and strength of a community seeking survival. Chicano Park, with its massive internationally acclaimed murals and famous Kiosco stage, was listed as a U.S. National Landmark in 2016.
