Barrio boy

Barrio Boy is the remarkable story of one boy's journey from a Mexican village so small its main street didn't have a name, to the barrio of Sacramento, California, bustling and thriving in the early decades of the twentieth century. With vivid imagery and a rare gift for re-creating a child's sense of time and place, Ernesto Galarza gives an account of the early experiences of his extraordinary life - from revolution in Mexico to segregation in the United States - that will continue to delight readers for generations to come.

The burning light ; action and organizing in the Mexican community in California ; with an introduction by Mary Anna Colwell : oral history interview conducted by Gabrielle Morris and Timothy Beard in 1977, 1978, 1981
