Being Raised Ignorant: The Breaking of a Generational Curse

By Frank Velasquez-Correa

Being Raised Ignorant is a book about child abuse due to ignorance and what the author calls a "generational curse." The writing and the stories are unnervingly honest and sometimes too raw for the sensitive reader. Being raised ignorant is not your ordinary book. It is a book that talks about the mistakes parents make with their children when bad planning and lack of education take precedence over common sense and healthy family love. Frank Velasquez Correa, a Latino boy growing up in a rough part of the Mile High City, becomes the victim of xenophobic parents who have migrated from rural Mexico in a time where education wasnt a big part of their livelihood. In this book, Frank exposes the need to talk about parenthood and the necessity to become educated on the subject of becoming healthy parents when common sense fails and cultural stubbornness becomes a means of irrigating fear, low self-esteem and severe personality problems. This book, in a way, is a sad journal, but its probity makes the reading worthwhile. Each happening is intense and although the writing can be stark at times, it has the strongest asset of any good memoir: it tells the truth."
