Weedee Peepo: A Collection of Essays

by Jose Antonio Burciaga

On This Page

Description

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 show more sharp yet compassionate probe of his often satirical sense of humor. Recommended for classes in English, Spanish, and especially Chicano culture. show less
