Roll Down Your Window: Stories of a Forgotten America Hardcover - 1995

by Juan Gonzalez


From the publisher

In a series of dispatches, Juan Gonzalez uncovers and celebrates the unacknowledged concerns and perspectives of those who make up the other America. As a founding member of the Young Lords, a group of young revolutionaries seeking self-empowerment and visibility for the Laino community, and in his current position as a columnist for the New York Daily News, Gonzalez has a unique perspective on this subject.

Media reviews

“Compassionate and impassioned.”—The San Francisco Bay Guardian

“Gonzalez gives voice to those whose views are neither often heard nor well understood ... his stories need to be told.”—New York Times Book Review

“Reading Roll Down Your Window is like being shoved into a cold, bracing shower ... Gonzalez challenges everyone to wake up and smell the misinformation.”—LA Weekly

“The best of American journalism.”—Financial Times

“These vignettes from the political frontline make most contemporary reportage look utterly complacent ... Unapologetically passionate, committed journalism.”—Time Out

“This book deserves un abrazo grande”—Pete Hamill
