Taking Hold: From Migrant Childhood to Columbia University by Francisco Jiménez

5.0

I enjoyed all three of Dr. Jimenez's autobiographical works: The Circuit, Breaking Through, and Reaching Out, and now, I can add Taking Hold to that list. I greatly admire Dr. Jimenez for his courage to share his successes and struggles in graduate school and to fight for the inclusion of Mexican American literature in mainstream education. He is an incredible writer and an even more extraordinary man.
