The César E. Chávez Center for Chicana/o Studies

proudly presents

José Galvez has been documenting everyday Latino life in the Southwest for thirty years.

From his boyhood barrio in Tucson to migrant camps in the California hillsides, from rituals to rallies, he captures his culture on film. As a staff photographer at the Los Angeles Times Galvez won a Pulitzer Prize in Community Service for his work on a series of articles and photographs about Latinos in Southern California. His black and white street-style photography has shown in galleries across the United States and in Mexico. Galvez’s book, Vatos joins 63 of his photos with “Hymn to Vatos Who Will Never Be in a Poem” by award-winning poet and writer, Luis Alberto Urrea.
The Bookzone will have his book Vatos available at his presentation.
