Scope and Contents
This book reflects the "multimedia art project that uses high technology and lowbrow kitsch; it encourages will-intentioned dialogue between different ethnic groups and razas as well as exposes some of the trashiest jokes and ethnic slurs found on mid-America's minds." The performances documented in this book deal with the low esteem that Americans place on the the role of Mexicans in American society. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
