Growing up in a half-white, half-brown town and family in South
Texas, Stephanie Elizondo Griest struggled with her cultural
identity. Upon turning thirty, she ventured to her mother's native
Mexico to do some root-searching and stumbled upon a social
movement that shook the nation to its core.
"Mexican Enough" chronicles her adventures rumbling with
luchadores (professional wrestlers), marching with rebel teachers
in Oaxaca, investigating the murder of a prominent gay activist,
and sneaking into a prison to meet with indigenous resistance
fighters. She also visits families of the undocumented workers she
befriended back home. Travel mates include a Polish thief, a Border
Patrol agent, and a sultry dominatrix. Part memoir, part
journalistic reportage, "Mexican Enough" illuminates how we cast
off our identity in our youth, only to strive to find it again as
adults -- and the lessons to be learned along the way.
