|  | | Ask a Mexican (Hardcover)
In this irreverent, hilarious, and informative look at Mexican-American culture, Arellano has compiled the best questions submitted by readers of his Ask a Mexican! column in Californias "OC Weekly." Unabridged. 1 MP3 CD.
Questions and answers about our spiciest Americans. I explore the clichés of lowriders, busboys, and housekeepers; drunks and scoundrels; heroes and celebrities; and most important, millions upon millions of law-abiding, patriotic American citizens and their illegal-immigrant cousins who represent some $600 billion in economic power.
WHY SHOULD I READ i>¡ASK A MEXICAN!/i> ?/b>
At 37 million strong (or 13 percent of the U.S. population), Latinos have become America's largest minority -- and beaners make up some two-thirds of that number. I confront the bogeymen of racism, xenophobia, and ignorance prompted by such demographic changes through answering questions put to me by readers of my i>¡Ask a Mexican!/i> column in California's i>OC Weekly/i>. I challenge you to find a more entertaining way to immerse yourself in Mexican culture that doesn't involve a taco-and-enchilada combo.

A personal history from the author of the nationally syndicated column and book of the same title, "¡Ask a Mexican!"
div>Part personal narrative, part cultural history, Orange County is the outrageous and true story of the man behind the wildly popular and controversial column ¡Ask a Mexican! and the locale that spawned him. It is a tale of growing up in an immigrant enclave in a crime-ridden neighborhood, but also in a promised land, a place that has nourished America's soul and Gustavo's family, both in this country and back in Mexico, for a century. /div>
