This book is meant to be taken light-heartedly. It is a humorous book with a "Mexican" author poking fun at his own hertitage. This book is not for people who lack a sense of humor or anyone expecting a thorough analysis of Spanish culture. Read it, laugh, and pass it on!

Gustavo Arellano, born in Anaheim, CA, to a tomato canner and an illegal immigrant, is now a staff writer for the OC Weekly. He also conntributes to the LA Times and NPR's Tell Me More and American Public Media's Weekend America.

Ask a Mexican, based on the column of the same name, explores the cliches of lowriders, busboys, and housekeepers, confronts the bogeymen of racism, xenophobia, and ignorance, and will probably offend you in some interesting way.
