The Moral Vision of Cesar Chavez

by Frederick John Dalton

Overview

The author looks at the public actions and declarations of United Farm Workers leader Chávez as a window into the ethical structures in which Chávez believed. He argues that Chávez was deeply rooted in a liberatory Catholic social gospel and that he incorporated prayer into his public action. His commitment to nonviolence and his affirmation of the universality of human dignity is explored. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
