Abstract

"El Curso de la Raza: The Education of Aurelio Manuel Montemayor" is a memoir coauthored by Aurelio Manuel Montemayor and Thomas Ray Garcia. The book explores Montemayor's educational experiences and political awakening as a South Texan educator and community activist. It delves into the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement in Texas and chronicles Montemayor's contributions to Mexican-American/Chicano civil rights progress, including the establishment of a community political engagement course and a Mexican-American-centered college. The memoir offers a personal reflection on the impact of the movement in Texas and the American Southwest during the 1960s and 1970s. It is recommended for those interested in Mexican-American civil rights history, American educational history, and those seeking guidance on enacting educational and political change.
