An informative, much-needed resource." - School Library Journal "The dictionary should satisfy the most discriminating researcher and find a place on shelves of public, school, and university libraries as well as in the collections of purveyors and performers of world and Chicano folklore." - Booklist "This is a 'must-buy' for any library that needs concise information on the Latino culture. . . . Highly recommended." - The Book Report "This comprehensive and easy-to-read volume might be considered the definitive reference manual for anyone interested in Mexican American culture in the United States. . . . A must for young adult libraries, particularly those in regions with a heavy Hispanic readership. This book will delight and intrigue any reader with an interest in popular culture." - VOYA "A well-written and serious book about a subject that is attracting increasing scholarly interest. Depending on need, it is a book that could find a place in either a reference or circulating collection and is suitable for the general public, serious high school students and undergraduates." - Against the Grain "A critical source of information on topics that are learned informally by the Chicano community and often unknown or misunderstood by those outside that community." - MultiCultural Review Read more...
