Days of Obligation: An Argument With My Mexican Father by Richard Rodríguez

abookishaffair's review

4.0

I really liked this book. Richard Rodriguez is a Mexican American and the book covers a lot of different topics about the area around the border between the US and Mexico. Even though this book was written almost 20 years ago, a lot of the topics are still pertinent today.

My favorite chapters are about Tijuana, the Castro district in San Fran and the Missions of Southern California. All these chapters discuss the clash between American and Mexican culture. Definitely a good read for anyone that is interested in Mexican American culture.
