Homeboy Scholars: Breaking the Mold is the conclusion of a Cholo trilogy that started by introducing American readers to the Chicano gang culture with Hopie and the Los Homes Gang: A Gangland Primer in 1979. The trilogy progressed to the idea of a homeboy taking college classes in Homeboys in College: Heralds of Progress in 1984. This third book contains success stories written by the homies themselves. They detail how they have overcome innumerable difficult circumstances. Against all odds, they have turned their lives around. They tell us how-hoping to encourage us by their examples.
