Richard Rodriguez: The Culture of American Identity January 15, 2006

from http://www.gracecathedral.org :

Richard Rodriguez offers an unorthodox perspective on race, class and multiculturalism in America today. Growing up in a Mexican household in America, he was an outsider who became a perceptive observer of our society. His controversial views on bilingual education and affirmative action were shaped by his personal experiences, but he is often criticized by the Latino community for betraying and abandoning his cultural roots. Discover what drives this passionate and controversial critic.
