    Mexican-American life in Los Angeles as described by Luis Rodriguez presented a harsh reality that frequently found conflict and contradiction in its narrative. When a teacher would tell young Rodriguez that he was full of intellectual potential, a sheriff would soon remind him that he was simply a vehicle for absent-minded violence. Each stereotype and identity suggested to him wound up as a shoe that did not fit. Rodriguez’ journey through gang culture, Mexican-American life, and a challenging American reality was inherently driven by the conflicting aspects of selfhood. Transitions between neighborhoods, gangs, schools, and individuals in his life created a constantly moving space in which Rodriguez struggled to find himself amidst a variety of stereotypes and expectations.…

Feliciano said it best when he remarked, ““They tell you, these Gringos, ‘If you don’t like it here, don’t want to be American, get out… Why? Let them get out, they came here last.…
