<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The rich and revealing story of a tumultuous journey from Left to Right and from poverty to prominence-by one of the most influential female conservatives in the country<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>When President George W. Bush nominated Linda Chavez to be Secretary of Labor in January 2001, most political observers saw it as a nod to the right. Chavez had made her reputation taking on the civil rights establishment, the feminist movement, and the multiculturalists. What few people knew was that this hard-nosed conservative began her career among socialists and labor-union officials, teaching in college affirmative-action programs and writing political propaganda for the Democratic National Committee. In<i> An Unlikely Conservative</i>, Chavez recounts her political journey from the Young People's Socialist League to the Reagan wing of the Republican Party-and the sometimes shocking personal experiences that shaped her views. From excrement-smeared car seats to threats of attacks with bombs and switchblades, she learned quickly that opposing racial quotas and ethnic studies carried a high personal cost. But at its core, hers is the story of a working-class Hispanic girl who overcomes a difficult and painful childhood to become one of America's most prominent political conservatives.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Linda Chavez</b>, a senior fellow of the Manhattan Institute, is president of the Center for Equal Opportunity, a nonprofit public policy research organization in Washington, D.C. She writes frequently for such publications as the <i>Wall Street Journal, Fortune</i>, and <i>USA Today</i> and is the author of <i>Out of the Barrio, An Unlikely Conservative</i>, and <i>Betrayal</i>.
