Sometimes I don't get the humor as I should because of references to past political events in California I'm not very familiar with. But it's interesting to see how the immigration debate was already alive back then, and how we the "aliens" have always been hated by some racist thugs out there. The author is the son of Mexican immigrants and he works for the LA Weekly, so his satire focuses mainly on the discrimination of Mexican and Latino immigrants.

Talks about politics and BS on Latinos.
I read this back in 2005. My journal notes:
>>A great book. Lalo satirizes and lampoons the current anti-immigrant wave, and he does so with gusto, pulling no punches. This cartoon collection goes from the late 1990s to today looking at issues such as the English Only movement, 9/11, and the future. This collection gathers his editorial cartoons. Anyone interested in Latino culture, and definitely any Latino, should be reading this. <<

A conglomeration of Alcaraz's political cartoons based on immigration. I didn't understand a handful of them, simply because I was unaware of the situation from when he illustrated them, but they are all pretty spot-on. I had to analyze it for a history course, but I've re-read it recently and found them funny.
