Jalapeño Blues
Resumen del Libro
These poems are not only full of heart, humor and joyful song, they are a history of Chicanos and working class struggle. They give life to forgotten souls and pay tribute to those unrecorded in history. This is poetry that bursts off the page demanding to be read aloud and with a little hip action. So I found myself singing the jalapeño blues as loud as loud could be. Got the jalapeño blues, baby. Yeah! We dont need no stinking badges telling us who we are. But we sure need the poems in this book. Yes, indeed. -Lolita Hernández, Detroit, MI, Author of Autopsy of an Engine: And Other Stories from the Cadillac Plant.
