Weedee Peepo A Collection of Essays

This bilingual collection of essays represents what Luis Valdez, Director of the popular film "La Bamba," has called a true reflection of the sometimes poignant, oftentimes absurd, life of the Chicano in America. Covering a wide range of topics, from the personal childhood memories in May I Introduce Myself? and School Daze, the whimsical self-examination of E. T. and Me, the social criticism in To Mexico With Love, and The Great Hustle, Burciaga cuts through pretense and hypocrisy with the sharp yet compassionate probe of his often satirical sense of humor. Recommended for classes in English, Spanish, and especially Chicano culture.Burciaga, Jose Antonio is the author of 'Weedee Peepo A Collection of Essays' with ISBN 9780938738060 and ISBN 0938738062.
