The development of the Latino social work profession in Los Angeles

Article Abstract:

This article explores the Latino experience of community organizing in Los Angeles and the development of Latino professional social work. The author examines the grass-roots social movement during the 1960s which led to Latino social work as a profession, and its eventual weakening due to the growth of a Latino middle class that lost touch with the grass-roots organization.
