About this title: In this exhilarating sequel to The Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo, Acosta takes behind the front lines of the militant Chicano movement of the late sixties and early seventies, a movement he served both in the courtroom and on the barricades. Here are the brazen games of 'chicken' Acosta played against the Anglo legal establishment; battles fought with bombs as well as writs; and a reluctant hero who faces danger not only from the police but from the vatos locos he champions. What emerges is at once an important political document of a genuine popular uprising and a revealing, hilarious, ...

"well. um, let's just say if i was chicana - i better have freakin read this. i mean ... it is mandatory "fiction" history on some level. i mean, the female level of power isn't fantastic (in fact it's all too often hooched out) but - the struggle for power, for equality in the late 60's/early 70's ... it is all there in an explosive manner. and it's funny ... the imagination laughs at the antics he really did throw down while in court."
"Brown Buffalo truely had a way with words with unique story telling methods. I found this book to be provocative and enlightening. I really think the anaology of the Chicano and cockroach is a methodical way of telling this experience."
"This book's content is very controversial. The way that it is presented by the author might be not liked by some readers. Chicano in search of its identity."
