Whether hilariously capturing the voice of a philosophizing limo driver whose dream is to make the most of his rap-metal garage band in \"My Ride, My Revolution,\" or the monologue-styled rant of a tes-ti-fy-ing! tent revivalist named Ysela in \"Oiga,\" Rodriguez squeezes humor from the lives of people who are not ready to sacrifice their dreams due to circumstance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these stories, Luis J. Rodriguez gives eloquent voice to the neighborhood where he spent many years as a resident, a father, an organizer, and, finally, a writer: a neighborhood that offers more to the world than its appearance allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 8.1 x 5.44 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 04, 2003\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52915319767356,"sku":"9780060936860","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/7265\/1324\/files\/NUl6SDlXY0RRamJJUDJWOEJzZmZ5Zz09.webp?v=1774361461","url":"https:\/\/barginbooks.co\/products\/the-republic-of-east-la-stories-paperback","provider":"Books Fare ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
