Seller's Description:
Minneapolis. 1992. Milkweed Editions. 1st Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0915943743. 115 pages. paperback. Cover art by R.W. Scholes. keywords: Puerto Rico America Literature. FROM THE PUBLISHER-In an era of multicultural awareness, this collection of seven Hispanic short stories will make an impact. The teenagers in Rodriguez's world are not attractive; raised in poverty, they exhibit the problems of the inner city-teenage pregnancy, drug addiction, and petty crime. But more universal traits shine through. In the title story, the narrator, who refuses to salute the American flag because his father has taught him to resent U. S. imperialism in Puerto Rico, learns that adults don't have all the answers and that the world is run on compromises. Nilsa, in No More War Games, is torn between childhood and sexual awareness as much as any middle-class 12-year-old. Gritty street language, phonetic spelling, and graphic descriptions enliven this as a real-life picture of the Bronx and provide the basis for lots of discussion. -SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL. inventory #31906.
