Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Through humorous and poignant stories based on the author's childhood as the son of Mexicans living on the United States/Mexico border, Leave it to Beaner explores themes of immigration, biculturalism and the inevitable reverse-assimilation of America.
Along with side-stops detailing the history of Chicanos, Mexican-Americans, Mexicanos, Latinos, Hispanics, the border, Mexican -wrestling, La Migra, mass deportations and mucho mucho mas, Leave it to Beaner promises to entertain and maybe make you think.
