He would go on to win a loyal readership with Days of Obligation: An Argument with My Mexican Father (a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize), Brown: The Last Discovery of America, and Darling: A Spiritual Autobiography. But first came Hunger of Memory, originally published by Godine in 1982. Hunger of Memory is the story of a young Mexican-American, who began school in Sacramento, California knowing just fifty words of English, yet concluded his university studies in the reading room of the British Museum. In between, he fought a dramatic struggle between his public and private self. A longtime resident of San Francisco, and an ardent opponent of easy labels and limited self-conceptions, Rodriguez describes himself as a "queer Catholic Indian Spaniard at home in a temperate Chinese city in a fading blond state in a post-Protestant nation." Resisting the easy way of following received dogmatic and conventional thought, Rodriguez has also encountered hostility for his provocative positions on issues such as affirmative action and bilingual education. But the extraordinary clarity of his iconoclastic writing--the surprising twists in his thinking, the view of public policy as it limits individual lives, and the story he tells of an American education--have made this book endure for forty years and counting. This edition includes a new afterword by the author as well as an introduction by Phillip Lopate. Whether you're hearing about Richard Rodriguez for the first time, or have read him for years, whether his life is like your own or far from it, if you care about the power of language and original thinking, you owe yourself to read Hunger of Memory."--Amazon.com. 600 10 $a Rodriguez, Richard, $d 1944- $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000116770905. $0 (DLC)n 81082111 650 0 $a Mexican Americans $z California $v Biography. $0 (local)tlcaut1691943206172573416 650 0 $a Mexican Americans $x Education. $0 (DLC)sh 85084501 650 0 $a Education, Bilingual $z United States. $0 (DLC)sh2008102717 650 0 $a Affirmative action programs in education $z United States. $0 (DLC)sh2004002778 700 1 $a Lopate, Phillip, $d 1943- $e author of introduction, etc. $0 (DLC)n 79089489 941 $a 1 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611014949.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5D4F1E7827B811EF9FBFAF4235ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b LS@Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
