In the wickedly titled novella "Uncivil Rights," a self-righteous but down-and-out activist creates havoc "protesting" a local court case. "Dear Rosita" is told through a series of letters from a father to his daughter, who is the first in the family to go to college and is moving very quickly into a world that strains her family's understanding." "In "The Border," a young man in search of his father is guided by his dreams to find his "inheritance" and discover his place in the world. A young girl encounters the world of culture - and betrayal - in "The Dancing School." These are stories that anyone who wants to understand this multicultural country should read and savor."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
