The lonely book review (The sounds of latinidad)

BY RUDY F. ACUÑA

I have been writing reviews since my graduate years largely because the chair of my committee insisted. Overtime they have become a habit so much so that I have published between 250-300 reviews. The reason that I indulged this habit is first, I am cheap, and you get the book free. Overtime it has built up my personal library. Second, it has forced me to read current literature on Latinos and Latin America. A third reason like everything else is that I am obsessed with a political agenda, and I have found the book review is a means to influence the readership.
