This is a book some will love and others will hate.

I just finished re-reading and discovered I greatly enjoyed his writing style and was better able to understand his experience growing up Mexican-American in California.

This is one of the books that really sticks out of my mind from my tenth grade English class. This was the year that we were supposed to read "coming of age" stories and this was the only autobiographical account we read. This was also the first time that a high school teacher said we could call him by his first name, Steve. Well ok Mr. Harloff, what ever you say! I just really couldn't get into that one. In fact, when I see teachers that I haven't had for 10 years I still can't call them by the...more

Richard Rodriguez is stellar at making you internalize the pathos that he pretty much writes in blood on the pages of his book.

While the subject matter was interesting to me (Latino man finding his place in a country that does not accept him as he is), I could not relate much to flavor in which these sentiments were delivered.

Rodriguez's personality is one that had to fight his way through his journey of change. This very bittersweet uphill struggle is believable and not out of order at all.

Ok. So I did not enjoy this book, not because it was a terrible book, but because it angered me. I am Americanized and I try my very best to learn as much about my culture as possible. I want to embrace my culture and the fact that there is someone out there who wants to throw theirs away (when they know how to speak their language fluently and know their culture by nature) angers me. Maybe, then, it is a really good book because it got a response from me, because it impacted me, but I still can...more

Rediscovering this book on my shelf challenges me. As an immigrant (and son of an immigrant) I remember when I read Hunger of Memory a few years ago. It makes me think of my sons born in the USA to a Korean-American dad and Argentine mom. It makes me picture them in their Argentine classroom faking an Argentine accent to avoid embarrassment in their English class. It makes me remember uncomfortable situations with my parents in public places where the clash of cultures made me feel observed.

“There are things so personal they can only be revealed to strangers.” For years I had condemned this book to the ‘conservative’ wing of American essays, but finally reading it, I’m pleasantly surprised. Decades ago Rodriguez a “comic victim of two cultures” gained some notoriety for opposing bilingual ed and affirmative action when to suggest so was heresy among liberals. Fine, but these essays are intriguing, intelligent and somber, unlike today’s mean-spirited and mindless right. This is a st...more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Enjoyed the writing style, open, honest, and the struggle to blend his private family language with the public spoken English was fascinating. Dr. Rodriguez understands that his premise will be controversial but he doesn't try to offend. Knowing that other academics and minority leaders do not agree with him and encouraged to remain silent he can't be true to himself and back down from his feelings.

Many of the essays in this collection are wonderful. I can relate to his feelings about being a child of immigrant Mexican parents and one of my favorite essays is the one about his complexion. It's when Rodriguez goes beyond the personal that he sometimes loses me. Many times his essays are abstract intellectual reflections that are obtuse enough for me to not care.

One of my favorite books despite the fact that I disagree with Rodriguez's politics. This guy is a master with words and uses them in the most delicate way.

This is a sensitive topic for many, especially in states like California and Texas where bilingual education is such a touchy subject. Although he comes across as a little whiny at times, Rodriguez has a compelling,and, at times,sad story that will resonate with anyone who has had to straddle two different cultures.

Although Richard Rodriguez writes from the POV of a "scholarship boy", a lot of what he has written resonated with me in deep ways: the grammar school boy trying to absorb facts rather than learn, Catholic school not teaching students to question, spouting the stupidity of the second Vatican council, unease over an Mexican identity that others want to foist on him but that he only barely shares, being scolded for being too tan and being a lower class of citizen, the almost pathological parents'...more Although Richard Rodriguez writes from the POV of a "scholarship boy", a lot of what he has written resonated with me in deep ways: the grammar school boy trying to absorb facts rather than learn, Catholic school not teaching students to question, spouting the stupidity of the second Vatican council, unease over an Mexican identity that others want to foist on him but that he only barely shares, being scolded for being too tan and being a lower class of citizen, the almost pathological parents' fear of having their private life aired at all. I think this part gets lost because he argues his anti-affirmative action and bilingual education views, and other goodreads reviews get worked up over this aspect because people have such an ideological stance on AA that the other parts are quickly forgotten.

And I think that's sad, because there is a highly original and real view on what it means to be the child of immigrants (I know he views himself as a "scholarship boy", but I think his views are applicable to a much wider audience). The popular view of literary cultural books, which I despise with large amounts of venom and bile, is that the immigrant child struggles to identify himself between white and parents' culture, rebels on both sides growing up, and then finds an uneasy mixture in the ending. Or if you're very literary, you don't figure it out.

This is not one of those books. Rodriguez's predilections lean him towards a white academic, which lands him the implicit or explicit moniker of coconut in GR reviews and the autobiography respectively. But I sense something more: a person who is struggling to find himself - in all his odd ways - while being burdened by his race. He is burdened because he doesn't fit the happy cultural stereotype of the man superficially struggling between two cultures, nor of the right-wing turncoat some make him out to be (would someone like that be suspicious of Protestants?). He is a highly original thinker who is shaped by his heritage, and his arguments of identity need to be considered on its merits. But since he is Mexican and somehow the other, the discussion turns to who he his.

There are plenty of books describing the "popular view", but very few that are about original thinker struggling with the "other" identity. That this one is also very well written is great, and I recommend everyone should read it for a different POV on cultural books.(less)

This is most likely due to the fact that most of us are self-conscious enough to already be defensive when we start reading such a book. For some reason probably no better than the inflation of our own egos, we always go in with a latent sense of competition; usually along the lines of whether or not the author "truly deserves" to write about him- or herself, while we humble readers are here living a "real" life of interest without a single word being spoken in its celebration. In other words, judgement comes with the territory, and thus should be accounted for by the author.
Richard Rodriguez, I find, after reading his autobiography Hunger of Memory, has trouble accounting for this selfishness in his readers. His book, which is subtitled "The Education of Richard Rodriguez", basically consists of his musings on race, education, and the various permutations of those two in different contexts. To put it simply, I think Rodriguez's book is a great work in and of itself, but is extremely prone to pretty disastrous misunderstanding on the reader's part.
It presents the reader with truly fascinating insights and ideas, told by the thinker in the context of his life and how he came to realize those ideas. In that respect, it represents, perhaps, a pure example of autobiography, written by a man for the sake of expressing his own thoughts and emotions on his own life. And in that end, it is really done quite beautifully. Rodriguez's prose is very unique: very succinct and almost clipped in its syntax at points, but also very complex. He says a lot in not a lot of words, and what those words say is very abstract - very thought provoking, especially considering that most of his readers will not have experienced anything like what he describes.
And that's where Rodriguez begins to run into trouble. Like I said, this book is very much a story of a man's life, written by himself, and never meant to apply to any other person's life. I don't think Rodriguez intends for anyone to consider his story an allegory or representative for any larger group which he may represent; but, alas, that is pretty much unavoidable with the nature of his story being what it is. He writes his story from the perspective of what he is: a Mexican man, born in America to immigrant parents, who overcame certain obstacles in order to become successful. A premise like that, or one along those lines, has been used before for autobiographies and memoirs; and in almost every instance, the purpose of the writer has been to use his or her story as a representative for those like them, those who may be faced with the same obstacles. Basically, they are usually meant to raise awareness to a perspective not usually seen.
So when Mr. Rodriguez begins his book by describing his early childhood and education, and the struggle with integrating a new language into his life, this old formula immediately applies itself in the head of the reader. And this proves rather destructive, mostly because of one simple fact: his story does not fit the formula. In fact, as the reader goes along, the contradictions (which are, of course, only contradictions when viewed within the parameters of the first-person-socially-disadvantaged-inspirational-memoir lexicon) begin to pile up. And that eats on the mind of the reader; because, as we've established, we all go into autobiographies, looking for validation of the autobiographee's worthiness. Or, more often than not, flaws by which we can claim his invalidity.
Rodriguez's are simple to point out. First of all, he makes it clear that he was not raised in a particularly socially disadvantaged situation: indeed, throughout, he repeatedly remarks that his education and instructors were all extremely beneficial, and all wanted him to succeed. For most reader's, this is not filling the bill for necessary hardship; especially in a book where the subject is primarily education seen through the eyes of a Mexican-American. And then there's the fact that his main revolving argument is that minorities need to stop being singled out as minorities- a righteous minority memoirist? That just doesn't add up! And there are many other little things that honestly (and I hate to admit this) make us less sympathetic with him and his struggles. They just aren't awful enough for us.
But in this fact, we see the brilliance of what Rodriguez is doing. His very point, is that education- no, every aspect of society, should not be viewed as something to be altered or customized according to race or ethnicity. The fact that a boy may not have white skin, and may not speak English fluently, does not mean that his problems should be pointed out incessantly, until they are blown far out of proportion and appear ten times larger than they are. His problems are unique to him, and maybe even to his culture; but that does not mean the problems of others are any less profound, they are just different. And as far as recognizing these problems goes, he argues that singling out the racially-specific issues is as much of the problem, as ignoring them is.
So when we claim that he is not angry enough, or even better, not angry in the "right way", we are disrespecting his intelligence, and his desire to portray a story of struggle that is not self-righteous or self-pitying in nature, but is in essence a fact and a personal experience, that may or may not apply to anyone in particular. His book is called Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez, not Hunger for Justice: The Socially Oppressed Education of Ricardo Rodriguez. He wishes to inform us and share with us the strong emotions and experiences which formed him, alone. And show how those experiences shaped his view on the world and modern education, both in the social and academic sense.
Now there are other things which make this book good or bad. Personally, while I find his prose interesting, I also find it extremely repetetive, and at times, tedious. He also strikes me as fairly pedantic (an effect of years surrounded by a culture of "higher education", my guess); and at times, melodramatic. He severely overuses the word "ghetto", which always makes a person sound kind of ridiculous, and even more so with him, seeing as he went to a Catholic school run by nuns (which he, unfailingly, describes at one point as the "ghetto" Catholic school). And frankly, sometimes his narratives are just not as interesting as they could be. But readablility besides, I would encourage people to read this book, if only to be exposed to a truly fascinating take on the interaction between our modern education system in this country, and its students of the non-white "minority". And the greatest advice I can give towards enjoying it, would be to simply not expect the standard formula. I guess, just keep an open mind.

The author is from a working class family of Mexican immigrants. Throughout his childhood it was evident that he was attracted to intellectual pursuits. He spent most of his time reading. The most salient issue of the book is the feeling of cultural separation from his family which became more pronounced as his academic career evolved. He also harbors some resentment about being a minority recipient of affirmative action in college. He feels that he was degraded by being thought of as someone in...more

At first I found Rodriguez's style of writing to be annoying and I found him to be over-emotional and over-dramatic. At times, he seems to ramble and go off on random tangents. However, as the book went on, his feelings are refined. His guilt over the gulf that his different life in America, in a different time period, and in academia has placed between him and his parents is quite eloquent.

So too is his guilt over being the beneficiary of affirmative action, an idea which claims "benefits for...more

Sometimes his florid language and exaggerated formal tone made me think of Oscar Wao --Rodriquez coming out some years after this aside, some of the things he has to say about being a "dandy" in comparison to the Mexican ideal of macho resonated with Oscar's struggle with Dominican masculinity-- and the loneliness he describes seems to echo the loneliness of what he calls "socially disadvantaged kids" who make some cultural inroads in the realm of middle-class white American culture.

Then again, Oscar Wao's loneliness emerged from his desire for his earnest sensation of belonging to be recognized by his Dominican compatriots as evidence of his authentic ethnicity, while Rodriquez --though maudlin about it-- abandons his family and roots for a sense of Americanization that even his admitted hyper-consciousness about his complexion could not deny. Also, the former is a fictional character, while Rodriquez is, ostensibly, a real person.

I think this is an important memoir. I read it in order to consider how it might be in conversation with Americo Paredes George Washington Gomez (or at least the last section of that) and it will certainly garner at least a mention in my dissertation, but ultimately I cannot help but think that Rodriquez's exaggerated and obvious affection emerges from his desire to convince himself of what he thinks--not the white people he claims to be writing for. Those white people already love him, are already convinced. . . And this need to convince himself, I think, has less to do with his confusions about ethnicity and more to do with his his inability at the time to find a "public voice" (to use his term) for his queer sexuality.

This is not to say that his critiques of affirmative action and ethnic studies movements don't have some merit, but that his demeanor and confusion seem to be an example of exactly what students of colors who do want some success and representation want to avoid at the same time.

I look forwarding to reading his more recent book, Brown: The Last Discovery of America to see how his ideas developed.(less)
