Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:New York Cit‛s first Chicano news anchorman teaches you the tools to succeed using a game of Mexican bingo. Mario Bósquez—New York City's first full-time Chicano television anchor—grew up in a cramped, three-room apartment where he and his family often survived on bags of donated groceries and clothing. He credits his success to hard work, determination, and his Chalupa Rules. In the game of Chalupa, or Mexican Bingo, Bósquez found powerful, inspirational imagery which, when combined with his family's timeless proverbs, provided him with the tools to rise above overwhelming poverty. Part autobiography, part instructional manual, The Chalupa Rules offers readers of diverse cultural backgrounds a universal message that they can survive and thrive in a society where the cards seem stacked against them. Book News Annotation:Part biography, part self-help guide, this book describes how the
author transcended poverty and became a successful news anchor by
using wisdom and inspiration drawn from the game Chalupa and his
family's homespun proverbs. Bósquez, currently co-anchor of "CBS 2
News This Morning" at WCBS Television in New York City, hopes that
what he has learned will help others from all parts of Latin America
to "navigate life in the US while always holding on to the history
and values of their ancestors."
