DEAR MEXICAN:

WHAT IS ASK A MEXICAN ?

Questions and answers about our spiciest Americans. I explore the cliches of lowriders, busboys, and housekeepers; drunks and scoundrels; heroes and celebrities; and most important, millions upon millions of law-abiding, patriotic American citizens and their illegal-immigrant cousins who represent some $600 billion in economic power.

WHY SHOULD I READ ASK A MEXICAN ?

At 37 million strong (or 13 percent of the U.S. population), Latinos have become America's largest minority -- and beaners make up...

Prepare yourself for an amusement park ride through the hallowed themes of History.

The contents of this book are based on personal experiences, imaginary characters, and just everyday happenings. It is cleverly laid out, and the author's outlook on growing up, hanging out, behaving badly, and life's little ups and downs is outrageously funny. In every chapter you'll find something to relate to, because it takes you on a blazing trip down memory lane with uncanny humor, and in between the laughter you'll pause to say, "Mmm! I hadn't thought about that in years."
