For nineteen straight years, the all-Hispanic boys' soccer team
from Oregon's Woodburn High has made the playoffs. As they prepare
to make it twenty, one thing will become clear: Los Perros play the
beautiful game with heart, pride, and their lives on the line.
Their spirited drive gives a rare sense of hope and unity to a
blue-collar farming community that has been transformed by waves of
immigrants over recent decades, a town locals call "Little Mexico."
Watched over by a south Texas transplant--a surrogate father to
half the squad--this band of brothers must learn to come together
on the field and look after each other off it.
More than just riveting sports writing, "The Boys from Little
Mexico" is about the fight for the future of the next
generation--and a hard, true look at boys dismissed as
gang-bangers, told to "go home" by lily-white sideline crowds. The
wins and losses they notch along the way spin a striking tale about
what it takes to capture the American Dream.
