Tomás Summers Sandoval is a historian of Latinx populations in the modern United States, with an emphasis on California. He holds a joint appointment in the History Department and the Intercollegiate Department of Chicana/o-Latina/o Studies, where he teaches classes on Latinx history, social movements, oral history, and racial inequality in the United States. He currently serves as the First Vice President of the Oral History Association.

His first book—Latinos at the Golden Gate: Creating Community and Identity in San Francisco (University of North Carolina Press, 2013)—investigates the ways Latin American migrants forged a cohesive community identity in the city by the bay. The first book-length history of Latinx San Francisco, Latinos at the Golden Gate uses the past to make sense of the impending Latino ascendency in the West.

He is currently at work on a book manuscript titled On the Edge of Things: The Vietnam War in Latinx America, based on oral histories with Chicano/Latino Vietnam veterans and their families. He has produced two public-facing projects based on these interviews: Vietnam Veteranos: Mexican America and the Legacy of Vietnam (2017), a multimedia public history exhibit funded by California Humanities; and Ring of Red: A Barrio Story (2018), a stage play funded by The Whiting Foundation.

Ring of Red: A Barrio Story, premiere at The Bootleg Theater (Los Angeles, CA), September 20-30, 2018.
