So I was talking to my Mom this morning when she mentioned the book ‘Chicano’ by Richard Vasquez that has just been reprinted after 35 years. So I do some searching and find a new blog that talks about the book and author.

In time for the 35th anniversary of the novel’s initial publication, HarperCollins/Rayo has just reissued Vasquez’s Chicano which has been out of print despite being a bestseller when it was published. It revolves around the Sandoval family who flee the chaos and poverty of the Mexican Revolution and begin life anew in the United States. Award-winning author Rubén Martí­nez offers a foreward where he puts Vasquez’s novel into historical, political and cultural perspective.
