Review # 1 was written on 2017-05-25 00:00:00 Carl Sutherland # 533662 First of all the frequent and casual use of the term "wetback" is inappropriate and irresponsible. Other than that it does a great job of putting Mexican American culture in its southwest American context but completely ignores its context distinct but connected to Mexico and tends to use the city of Juarez as representing the entirety of Mexico. Fails to recognize that many of the differences are not larger cultural differences but merely differences b/w families or even specific cooks in some instances. Overall, interesting read but did not age well past the 80s and lacked a deeper knowledge of Mexican culture in which to place its understanding of the variations of Mexican American culture

Review # 2 was written on 2009-07-27 00:00:00 Vernon Nichols A very well written book that is has chapters addressing anything ever experienced as far as Mexican-American culture. Provides a lot of clarification on things I had heard about but never knew what to think of. I think this is a good book for kids too.
