Seven characters. Seven stories that capture uniquely American slices of the Latino immigrant experience. Seven explorations of humanity, longing, suffering and hope that beckon for America to reconsider and revolutionize its views of immigrants and immigration. Seven for the Revolution.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Seven short stories explore the hard lives of Latinos and the fraught relations between their native and adopted countries. Ruiz (Going Hungry, 2008) writes about characters who grapple with injustice, usually as they pursue the American dream...many stories show real sparks of creativity as they give voices to the voiceless...most paint nuanced pictures of people seeking an impossible American dream. Well-executed stories that offer fresh perspectives on long-standing societal problems. - Kirkus Reviews
Not one sentence in Seven for the Revolution sounds like it comes from a debut fiction author. The tension in each is well-crafted, making the reader want to turn each page as quickly as possible. - LatinoStories.com
"Rudy Ruiz writes with authority and emotion about issues close to his heart, such as immigration, but never lets a message get in the way of good storytelling and character development." - San Antonio Express-News
"An original and thought-provoking look into the culture of U.S. Latinos, both immigrants and citizens...The book is an enjoyable read. I would feel comfortable sharing this book with a YA reader, as well. The book's areas of excellence are the storytelling, the ability to convey our culture so well, and originality." - Goodreads/Reading in Spanglish
