Ever been called "beaner" and "gringo" like the Mexican-American author has?
At the age of 5, he arrived at a Greyhound bus station in California, transplanted from Mexico City into the pervasive sounds of English.
Now with the ink still fresh on his Juris Doctor diploma, he looks back on the journey with the rigorous training he acquired in law school as he compellingly weaves together a vivid interpretation of the raw experiences that drove him along that journey—across his childhood experiences with violence and exclusion for being Spanish-speaking, his struggles to succeed in school despite the limits of poverty, and his fighting in work life against the powerful on behalf of the voiceless. Along the way, he defeats the terms "beaner" and "gringo" and proudly showcases his fluidity in his Spanish and English languages.
For lovers of books that hook you from beginning to end.
