Barrio Boy by Ernesto Galarza


This is the true story of the author who was born in Mexico, emigrated to California with his family for safety during the Mexican Revolution and went on to graduate from Stanford and Columbia. Ernesto Galarza was nominated for a Nobel Prize in Literature in 1979.

When some people became Americans they brought certain vocabulary words with them. When you comment on this book, please include some words you found in this book that are Spanish in origin that became part of the American English language.
