Product Overview
Cholos & Surfers gives us a keen insight into a vital minority experience in 20th-century America. Jack Lopez writes with honesty, perception and compassion. In his story, and that of his family, we see more clearly who we are in our diversity and in our unity. It behooves us to listen to this voice - it is authentic.
This is a deeply-felt journey in search of explanation to what makes us 'moral creatures,' an inquiry into modern family life delivered in an engaging 'oral' prose that reaches beyond the easy politics of racial pride. Lopez makes the essay as personal and honest as the form allows.
