Designed as a multi-and-interdisciplinary reader for the general public, as well as 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.'This masterful, magical, if at times anguishing, compendium guides the reader through a remarkable journey of the highly successful and beloved journalist and university professor, Roberto Dr. Cintli Rodriguez. With its numerous touch points throughout on issues of race, identity, culture, and Indigeneity against the historical backdrop of colonial violence, symbolic and real, it should prove highly accessible and captivating to students, teachers, and diverse audiences associated with the Ethnic Studies Movement today.'-Angela Valenzuela, Ph.D., author, Subtractive Schooling: U.S.-Mexican Youth and the Politics of Caring.
