Overview

Cultural Writing. Latino/Latina Studies. José Angel Gutiérrez is the firebrand civil rights leader of the 1960s and 70s who succeeded in making a minority-based political party a reality in Texas and various other states. In 1970, Gutiérrez led La Raza Unida Party to stunning victories in Crystal City, Texas and surrounding communities, with Mexican Americans winning all contested seats on the city council and school board, seats held for decades by Anglos. Despite Gutiérrez's total commitment to la causa, he found time to write in order to share his political wisdom. Originally self-published during the heat of the Chicano Movement, A GRINGO MANUAL ON HOW TO HANDLE MEXICANS, now expanded and revised, is a humorous and irreverent manual meant to educate grass-roots leaders in practical strategies for community organization, leadership and negotiation. Jose Angel Guitierrez is currently a professor of political science at the University of Texas at Arlington.

    Written when no books for Hispanics were available

    This book is for Hispanics, but mainly for Mexican-Americans. It tells the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth on how Anglos used 'tricks' to subjugate us Mexican-Americans. Jose Angel Gutierrez shows us how to avoid these 'tricks' or better yet, how to use the 'tricks' on them as well. A must read for those interested in Chicano studies. By the way, Jose Angel Gutierrez's new book, 'The Mexican Manual on how to Handle Gringos' will be out Sept. 2001. These two books are collectors items. Get them while you can.
