Of his children, only Pete Sandoval is able to create a brighter existence, at least for a time. But when Pete&#8217;s daughter Mariana falls in love with David, an Anglo student, it sets in motion a clash of cultures. David refuses to marry Mariana, fearing the reaction of his family and friends. Mariana, pregnant with David&#8217;s child, is trapped between two worlds and shunned by both because of the man she loves. The complications of their relationship speak volumes &#8212; even today &#8212; about the shifting sands of racial politics in America.<\/p>\n<p>In his foreword, award-winning author Rub\u00e9n Mart\u00ednez reflects on the historical significance of Chicano&#8217;s initial publication and explores how cultural perceptions have changed since the story of the Sandoval family first appeared in print.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Chicano-Novel-Richard-Vasquez\/dp\/B0046LUCYS\/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1329223384&#038;sr=1-2\" target=\"_blank\">Buy at Amazon.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/Chicano-A-Novel-Richard-Vasquez\/dp\/0060821043\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books-intl-de&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1332762282&#038;sr=1-1\" target=\"_blank\">Buy at Amazon.de<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vasquez, Richard. <em>Chicano: A Novel<\/em>.
