The spoken words of leaders have a profound impact on the conscience of their followers. The author dissects the essential speeches given by Cesar Chavez and the motivations that influenced them.

“Cesar Chavez’s relentless campaign for social justice for farm workers and laborers in the United States marked a milestone in U.S. history. Through his powerful rhetoric and impassioned calls to action, Chavez transformed as well as persuaded and inspired his audiences. In this first published anthology, Richard J. Jenson and John C. Hammerback present Chavez on his own terms. Through this collection and through his own words and analysis of his major speeches and writings, Jensen and Hammerback reveal the rhetorical qualities and underlying rhetorical dynamics of  a master communicator and also offer a rich source of the history of the farm workers’ movement Chavez led from the early 1960s to his death in 1993. The Words of Cesar Chavez offers an important new resource for scholars of public discourse, Chicano studies, and Cesar Chavez himself. Jensen and Hammerback present Chavez doing what he did best: teaching and influencing audiences who would enact his agenda to create a new and better world'”
