{"product_id":"9781721091317","title":"An American Mestizo:: The True Story of A Mexican American Father and His Three Hot Tamales","description":"It is the true story of me and my two mestiza sisters being raised by our Mexican American father in just pre-and-post Civil Rights Era, Dallas, Texas. At that time, Dallas was deeply embedded with a racial caste system that severely marginalized people of Hispanic descent. It is the story of my people, Mexican Americans, when we had to ride at the back of the bus; when we were turned away from restaurants because of the color of our skin; and when we were not given the same opportunities as people of European\/Caucasian descent. Being raised by a single father in the late 1960's and 1970's was rare, but in Mexican American communities, it was basically unheard of. Memoirs that are similar to my story are Barefoot Heart: Stories of a Migrant Child, by Elva Trevino Hart. Another one is, A Tale of Survival: An Hispanic Woman's Memoir, by Grace Flores-Hughes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eRobin Lepinay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eCreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJun 11, 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e164 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1721091319\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781721091317\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061867725105,"sku":"9781721091317","price":13.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/products\/9781721091317.jpg?v=1693813252","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781721091317","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
