Che by Paco Ignacio

Che Guevara, the preeminent
Latin-American revolutionary of the late twentieth century, was the
symbol of radical egalitarianism and the war against social
injustice. Gunned down in the jungles of southeastern Bolivia in
1967, his death is surrounded by questions that remain unanswered.
Paco Ignacio Taibo II delves into the mystery and myth
surrounding Che's life, careers, and ideals. Taibo has access to
archives open to few researchers, and he has reached a range of
insiders who worked with, and fought beside, Che during the time of
his revolutionary activity in Mexico, Cuba, Africa, and South
America. Also at Taibo's unique disposal is a previously unknown
manuscript written by Che Guevara himself, describing his
experiences in the Congo during the "missing year" in his
life. Finally, Taibo offers up a solution to the mystery of Che's
final days and death.

Estas Calles Bravas by Piri Thomas
$9.60 Paperback,
352 pgs (Sep
1998)
Vintage Books;
Dimensions (in inches): 0.86 x 8.03 x 5.23
Thirty years ago Piri Thomas made
literary history with this lacerating, lyrical memoir of his coming
of age on the streets of Spanish Harlem. Here was the testament of a
born outsider: a Puerto Rican in English-speaking America; a
dark-skinned morenito in a family that refused to acknowledge its
African blood. Here was an unsparing document of Thomas's plunge
into the deadly consolations of drugs, street fighting, and armed
robbery--a descent that ended when the twenty-two-year-old Piri was
sent to prison for shooting a cop. He recounts the journey that took him from adolescence in El Barrio
to a lock-up in Sing Sing to the freedom that comes of
self-acceptance, faith, and inner confidence.
