About this Item

Orange paperback, presumed reprint as he seems to have original written this in the 60s. Signed and inscribed by Chicano author and poet Nephtali De Leon on the title page, "Para Salvador Ramirez, quien me enseno a comprendar el carino de nuestro pueblo." Which translates roughly to "for Salvador Ramirez, who taught me to understand the love of our people." A good only copy with heavy wear at the cover edges - scuffing to the covers and a crease to the rear cover. Inside the front cover there is some browning - appears to be from old glue - but not library indications. Mr. Ramirez has used his personal name stamp on the title page and on the last page. Pages are unmarked otherwise and the binding is intact and not split. 95 pp., with illustrations by the author.

About this title

Synopsis

Neither an ideology nor a myth, a Chicano is a very real person. Beyond the person, Chicanismo is a way of life, a spiritual calling, a love, a respect, and a duty.
