"Brown - The Last Discover of America" from the Penguin Group, by
Richard Rodriguez, 135 pages, paperback, c. 2003, $15

[Penguin Group] In his dazzling memoir, Richard Rodriguez reflects on
the color brown and the meaning of Hispanics to the life of America
today. Rodriguez argues that America has been brown since its
inception-since the moment the African and the European met within the
Indian eye. But more than simply a book about race, Brown is about
America in the broadest sense -- a look at what our country is, full
of surprising observations by a writer who is a marvelous stylist as
well as a trenchant observer and thinker.

"The recurrent strands of his thought -- family, education, race, sex,
California, America, Mexico -- gain a new resonance each time and
stand, in the end, for the complexity of a whole greater than the sum
of its parts." -- The New York Times Book Review
