Wow right? It’s an phenomenal list. So check it out, buy it and let me know what you think. I’m pretty proud of it.
In a time when Chicano books are being banned in Arizona, our voices are stronger than ever. You can’t hush us with censorship. You can’t silence us with miseducation and by denying us our culture. We are used to using our voices, our writings, our flor y canto (poetry) to preserve our traditions and culture. If the Conquistadores couldn’t shut us up, I seriously doubt a bunch of tontos at the TUSD can’t. We’ll keep writing and creating. We will tell our stories and share them at will.
Censorship is NEVER a good thing, but you just try banning this.
