Bootstraps: From an American Academic of Color

Rating:
Summary: Oye, comemierda: el autor es boriqua.
Review: Of course, anyone who has actually read the book will know that Villanueva is from a Puerto Rican family, not a Mexican one.

Not that it matters. This is an important book for anyone in English studies, not just rhetoric & composition. Read it now.

Summary: A Mexican who became a success, in spite of the odds!
Review: This is a true story of the prejudice that Mexicans and people of color face in school and and in life. Luckily, he found a teacher who understood him, and gave him hope. Today, Victor Villanueva is a leader of his field, but still many people who would accept him if he was white, will not accept him because of his Mexican heritage.
