Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Julian Nava is one of the most renowned and distinguished elder statesmen in the Hepatic community of the United States. The child of poor Mexican immigrants. Nava rose through years of hardship and hard work to achieve what no other Latino in the United States had achieved before him: Nava became the first Mexican American to serve as ambassador to Mexico.
Book News Annotation:Nava, a long-time professor at California State University at Northridge and a prominent figure in Mexican-American political life, tells the story of his journey from a small Mexican village to places as varied as the streets of East Los Angeles, the Great Wall of China, Harvard University, and Fidel Castro's Cuba. His memoir, suitable for young adult readers, offers reflections on the nature of institutionalized racism in American society and politics and the personal price of leading with integrity. B&w personal photos are included.
