This is a memoir of the early years of a well-known Chicano scholar
whose work and activism were motivated by his Mormon faith. The
narrative follows him as an immigrant boy in San Antonio, Texas,
who finds religion, goes to segregated schools, participates in the
first major school boycott of the modern era in Texas, goes to Viet
Nam where he heads an emergency room in the Mekong Delta, and then
to college where he becomes involved in the Chicano Movement.
Throughout this time he juggles, struggles, and comes to terms with
the religious principles that provide him the foundation for his
civil rights activism and form the core of his moral compass and
spiritual beliefs. In the process he pushes back against those
religious traditions and customs that he sees as contrary to the
most profound aspects of being a Mormon Christian. This memoir is
about activism and religion on the ground and reflects the
militancy of people of color whose faith drives them to engage in
social action that defies simple political terminology.
