Here is the poignant journey of a "minority student" who pays the cost of his social assimilation and academic success with a painful alienation -- from his past, his parents, his culture -- and so describes the high price of "making it" in middle-class America. Provocative in its positions on affirmative action and bilingual education, Hunger of Memory is a powerful political statement, a profound study of the importance of language ... and the moving, intimate portrait of a boy struggling to become a man.From the Paperback edition. 4aAffirmative Action Programs 4aAffirmative Action Programs in Education 4aBilingual Education 4aBiography 4aBiography & Autobiography 4aEducation 4aMexican Americans 4aNonfiction
