Synopsis

Rodriguez portrays Mexico and the United States as moral rivals for California. Tragic Mexico and the comedic United States, ironically, have traded roles by the end of the twentieth century. Rodriguezs ferocious essays are no more regional than were Montaignes. His play of ideas and incident, the scope of these essays, becomes a spiritual autobiography.

Author Bio

Over three decades, Richard Rodriguez authored a "trilogy" on American public life and his private life: Hunger of Memory; Days of Obligation; and Brown-concerned respectively with class, ethnicity, and race in America. He has also worked as a journalist on television and in print.
