Hunger of Memory

Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez is a 1982 autobiography by Chicano intellectual Richard Rodriguez, first published by David R. Godine.

Summary

Mexican-American Rodriguez starts school in Sacramento, California understanding only 50 words of English. He completes his University studies in London. While on his academic journey, he becomes alienated from the culture of his birth, while assimilating into the world of academia. The book addresses affirmative action and bilingual education, among other themes. The book has been studied as a critical work of American minority literature.[1][2]

gollark: I forgot to get lots of shards this week. Instead of actual playing, I can just click a few buttons mindlessly and get my shard cap filled.
gollark: By "massbreed" I mean "breed my ~10"; not very "mass".
gollark: Also, two shards per breeding? Seems poorly thought out, since you can just earn a stupid amount by massbreeding to AP.
gollark: I will be able to send some when my AP junk hatches in 22 hours or so, or just massbreed now.
gollark: ***hide it***
