Writing 50 Years (mas o menos) Amongst the Gringos

By Roberto Rodríguez

WRITING 50 YEARS (más o menos) AMONGST THE GRINGOS is a compilation of 91 separate pieces of writings, that includes journalistic columns and articles, essays, short stories, poems, cantos, huehuetlahtolli, academic work, and excerpts from seven books that span the last five decades of Dr. Cintli's life, from 1973-2021. Not only does this collection document his personal life's work and evolution as a writer, journalist, columnist, academic and public intellectual, it also chronicles those movements and issues that have been, and are, important to la Raza Mexicana and the Xicanx/Latinx people in the U.S. Designed as a multi-and-interdisciplinary reader for the general public, and for college/university and high school students in Indigenous/Chicanx/Ethnic Studies and Journalism/ Communications courses, this book includes discussion questions, writing prompts and activities for teachers and students at the end of each decade.
