I'd like to read some books, fiction or nonfiction, where the main character(s) are Mexican-Americans. I'd also like it if the book used spanish phrases throughout the book. For example, the characters speak spanish so they speak every once in a while. Can you recommend any books like this?

Rise your hand, drop a comment, be respectful, be intelligent, or skip answering, and go to answer another question.

Thanks.
My point is: Look all around.... You will find many, many, many Mexican-Americans.
Even if they don't look like mexicans or like americans.
Got it?
Besides that review the History of the U.S. SouthWest, and find the Point.

Here in California I have noticed that most Mexican Americans refer to other Mexicans as "Spanish". Why? Just speaking Spanish doesn't make one Spanish. Being from Spain makes one Spanish. I speak English, but I'm not from England so I'm not English. I almost get the feeling that Mexicans here in California regard the word Mexican as an insult. Why? Being from Mexico makes one Mexican just as surely as being from Italy makes one Italian.
