"This book is a collection of stories and essays by Antonio Zavala, a Chicago writer and journalist, who has covered the Mexican and Chicano communities for many years. The scope of the book is wide-ranging, from a story exploring the concept of Aztlan to an appreciation of El Flaco Jimenez, accordian player extraordinaire. Also included are stories about Dolores Huerta, on turning 90 years-old; a visit to Cicero, Illinois, by Mexican immigrant and astronaut Jose Hernandez, who believes someday there will be a lunar base on the moon. Three neighborhoods, considered Mexican areas within the city, are also featured here in stories that touch on the people who have resisted attempts at displacement and erasure."--Back cover.
