The Wedding (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781558855236)

A rollicking ride through pachuco subculture in a post-World War II California barrio, this new and improved edition of a long out-of-print novel offers an insightful perspective on gender roles and social mores. Ponce movingly and humorously depicts a Chicano community living in poverty with few opportunities, while at the same time critiquing the social ills that contribute to its particular condition.
