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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luis J.
