She's speaking at a rally onstage, with a sweater vest bearing the iconic United Farmworkers logo — a white circle with a black thunderbird referencing the Mexican flag. It's one of a trove of photos in *Chicano Camera Culture*, a must-read on our book list this spring, which happens to include several other titles that explore visual culture and activism. Feminist artist and environmental activist Susan Simensky Bietila has a new memoir out, while tomorrow marks publication day for organizer and painter Molly Crabapple's book on the Jewish Bund (she'll be giving a talk with Naomi Klein at the New York Public Library as the first stop on her [book tour](https://www.mollycrabapple.com/news/wzclps5z2zp9mccm779ehaczxpewwa?ref=hyperallergic.com)). We've also got a Theresa Hak Kyung Cha catalog on our list, marking the first major publication on her work in over two decades.
