Book Description
Adopting the turtle as a metaphor for the Native American origins of border culture, the prominent American poet interweaves lyrical poetry, prose poems, short fiction, and nonfiction commentary to forge a new Chicano manifesto, a cultural memoir that traces both his personal journey and the communal journey that Mexican Americans have traveled throughout the century.
