My experience as a white teenager in California's Bay AreaBy George MahoneyIn 1949 as a freshman in high school in the California Bay area; I was a member of the"Pachuco's"; a group of teenage Mexican hoodlums who accepted me in spite of being a"Gringo". Our weekend entertainment was to pile in a '39 Buick; 6 - 7 at a time; and drive to EastOakland to find a small group of Tinto Cabrones" (Black expletive) and chase them; usually withlittle physical contact; until one day a young black man turned and knocked me on my keister. Ithen decided this was not my life as a privileged white boy. I'm not sure had I read this group ofessays my life would have been different; but I hope my grandchildren will profit. One essay inparticular stuck in my heart- page 323 - Liza Pearl. I am grateful to the contributors; editors; andthe publisher for their hard work in bringing this work to life; and I hope it gets the attention itdeserves.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Mixed feelingsBy BonniebelleBig book I'm reading in increments; each essay or memoir something that long after haunts the mind. Kind and shocking in places at the same time. Insight and stupidity. Everyday lives of prejudice and predicament. The towering presence of ancestors on behavior and thought.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Overcoming White PrivilegeBy Julie C.
