The book is semi-autobigraphical and reflects on a myriad of memories darting back to childhood. Now, at the age of 70 the author looks back at accomplishments, failures and memories. All of them were shaped by growing up Mexican in South Texas and these reflections and anecdotes now impact the world.Chicanadas is a derivative of the word Chicano. A Chicano is a American of Mexican descent who grew up in the United States during the revolutionary 60's and 70's. To be a Chicano meant we wanted to change the world. We sought and identity, but all we really wanted was to be accepted for what we were - Americans proud of our heritage. Sometimes we would ramble on about dreams we had - becoming lawyers, politicians, educators. In many ways, we were the first dreamers and the first to say - "Basta" Enough So RAMBLE ON WITH MY "CHICANADAS.
