Friends and Colleagues,

By the late 1970’s Chicano activism in Bexar County, Texas was very hot.  It was at the time a bit random, disorganized.  But by the early 1980’s, the Chicano / Chicana Movement had become just that.  An organized action group, rather like the Black Power Movement at the same time.

These two pamphlets with skull-faced {Calaveros] women on the covers, are from the Bexar County Chicanas Political Coalition.  It was founded in the late 1970’s, but quickly had officers, by-laws, and was producing print material such as these.  The byline on the covers of these pamphlets translates “Anonymous & Interfering Troublesome Women”.

Are these a relic of the past, or a harbinger of the future?  We can’t hazard a guess.  What do you think?

Cheers,
Nick
