Pocho

by Jose Antonio Villarreal

Pocho Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Villarreal illuminates here the world of "pochos," Americans whose parents come to the United States from Mexico.

Richard's struggle to achieve adulthood as a young man influenced by two worlds reveals both the uniqueness of the Mexican-American experiences and its common ties with the struggles of all Americans — whatever their past.
