{"product_id":"we-were-always-here-ricardo-chavira-9781558859135","title":"We Were Always Here: A Mexican American's Odyssey","description":"\"A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Ricardo Chavira writes in his memoir about the challenges growing up in a marginalized community in Pacoima, California, where he attended a high school notorious for gang violence and inadequate teaching. Against all the odds, he managed to reject gang affiliation, avoid serious crimes, evade the Vietnam War draft and earn undergraduate and graduate degrees. He became passionate about journalism because it gave him the chance to report about the lives of Latinos that mainstream American media either ignored or misrepresented\" -- Backcover.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ricardo Chavira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1558859136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781558859135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arte Publico Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.43h x 5.43w x 0.87d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2021","brand":"Ricardo Chavira","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046200078591,"sku":"9781558859135","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f5a9133-7624-49d5-a7d6-f84a9054d8e0.jpg?v=1777264722","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/we-were-always-here-ricardo-chavira-9781558859135","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
