Hardcover. Condition: Good. From one of America's most beloved writers comes this compelling memoir of his adolescent search for meaning and identity.When Victor Villaseor turned sixteen, his father's gift of a brand-new, turquoise pick-up truck was accompanied by another gift: words of wisdom that would guide him on his path to manhood. "You are a man now, he said, and to be an hombre, a man must not only know right from wrong, he must also know who he is and who he isn't." In the weeks to come, however, Victor disregards his father's advice. Swayed by his friends ridicule, he has his new truck painted white to cover the vibrant turquoise, once his favorite color. Soon, he realizes his mistake. "I'd done exactly what my dad had told me not to. I'd listened to other people's opinions instead of listening to what I'd felt inside."So begins this poignant and moving account of Villaseor's coming of age. Growing up on his parents ranch in North San Diego County, Victor Villaseor's teenage years were marked by a painful quest to find a place for himself in a world he didn't fit into. During his search, Victor wrangles with the usual questions of adolescence: Is it normal to think about sex all the time? Do good girls like sex? Is sex before marriage a sin?But Victor struggles with more than just his burgeoning sexual awareness. The son of a self-made, successful man, he is different from his peers because of his Mexican heritage, and he experiences both subtle and outright discrimination because of this. Raised in a tight-knit, Catholic family, he questions the tenets of his faith and the restrictions it places on his own developing spirituality and sexuality.After high school, Victor's quest for who he is and who he isn't takes him to Mexico, where he is shocked to learn that Mexicans aside from his father are successful. They are architects, professors, and artists. Most importantly, he meets an older woman who cultivates in him a deeper understanding of his own intellectual capacity and helps him see the world and his place in it in a whole new way. This experience allows him to appreciate his own potential and realize his dreams of making a difference in the world through writing.A powerful portrait of a young boy on the path to manhood in the shadow of his influential father, Crazy Loco Love adds a new chapter to the grand tradition of coming-of-age books. Destined to become a classic, this new installment in Villaseor's body of work confirms his place as a leading American writer. Crazy Loco Love will enthrall his many fans and surely win him new ones.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. The mine at Morenci, Arizona, has gone down in history as the site for bloody strife between exploitive management and Mexican-American workers. Recruited from Mexico, the original miners preceded successive generations born and raised in Morenci to work in the mine. The spotted history of the town subsequently became the basis for Mexican-American legend.A native daughter of that mining town has created lucid, ardent stories about the families and the mining company which financially supported, yet oppressed the culture of their home, school, church and work. Elena Diaz Bjorkquist gives voice to the characters beneath the toil, illuminating the complexity of their yearnings and frustrations.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Uprooted: Braceros in Hermanos Mayo Lens serves as a double introduction: first, to a photographic collection that was the pioneer of modern photojournalism in Mexico, and second, to Mexican images of the guest workers that have previously only been portrayed in this country through the lenses of American photographers. Originally founded in Spain during the early 1930's, the Mayo Brothers collective was re-established in Mexico by its exiled members, following Spain's Civil War. The Mayo collective of left-wing photojournalists not only identified with the working class, but were real workers in every sense of the word. The art-if it is to be considered as such-was conditioned to a great degree by their daily assignments from more than forty periodicals in Mexico, Latin America and the United States over a period of five decades. In the course of their documentation of news features, the Mayo Brothers created some of the most memorable and incisive images of Mexico from the perspectives of socially and politically conscious workers.Two scholars have plumbed the rich Mayo Brothers collection in Mexico's National Archive to select the photos represented here on one of the most controversial cross-cultural subjects of their time: the Bracero Program. The guest-worker program was established during World War II to supply manpower to the agricultural fields, the railroads and some industrial sectors as long as the United States experienced labor shortages. Despite numerous and consistent abuse of the braceros, the program was extended various times until 1964, and in its course, established many of the employment and immigration patterns that are still with us, that may be even more controversial today.More importantly, the Mayo lenses have given faces and emotions to the braceros as seen from within their own culture and society. Their anxious expressions and expectant personalities have never been seen in press and sociological documentation in the United States.
