An excellent read

i enjoyed this book, it was an easy read and De Anda provides many insightful chapters, and give a good look into the lives of Chicanos. I especially enjoyed Chapter 10, by Raul Villa, entitled "Of Corridos and Convicts...". it was the first time i ever really saw an essay focused on pinto poetry. i have to say, two thumbs up.
