Synopsis
With over 150 photographs, illustrations, and letters, the sharply designed "Cholo Style" presents the fast-expanding Chicano barrio culture from its most authentic and street-credible perspective. (Available in October), The powerful era of Cholo style and lowrider culture, as seen through the artwork, interviews and true stories created by homies and homegirls themselves, compiled from the seminal street zine Mi Vida Loca. Author Reynaldo Berrios is a reformed gangbanger who was nearly killed in vicious knife-fight and who produced Mi Vida Loca at American great personal risk over a decade, ultimately turning against counterproductive gang violence and advocating La Raza resistance to gacho power., The powerful Chicano street-tough look--or cholo style --continues to become incorporated as a matter of pride in the fast-growing American Hispanic culture and, as reported by The New York Times, is now part of "the fashion vernacular of non-Latinos as well." From his San Francisco home, author Reynaldo Berrios started Mi Vida Loca maga-zine in 1992 (nearly two years prior to the release of Allison Anders' movie of the same name) with ambitious goals: "I wanted vatos to get started on a peace treaty. I wanted for cholos to stop the drive-bys. I wanted for the mainstream to stop acting as if La Raza didn't exist. I wanted my people to have a voice and to be proud of our beliefs, our heroes, and our culture." Cholo Style includes interviews and photographs obtained at great risk from gang members and underworld leaders throughout the state of California, plus intense, stylized line drawings from barrios, prisons, and low-rider cultural gatherings. With over 150 photographs, illustrations, and letters, the sharply designed Cholo Style presents the fast-expanding Chicano barrio culture from its most authentic and street-credible perspective., The powerful Latine barrio style as seen in the interviews, true stories, art and photos of a popular street zine published by a reformed gangbanger.

    Book was advertised as in ‘Good’ condition, but is terrible condition after you actually open the book. I reached out to the seller saying that it is unreadable and sent multiple photos of heavy ink underlining on dozens and dozens of pages throughout the book. Ink writing in margins, chapter titles, etc. seller offered a 50% refund and I again responded that the book is unreadable. He stated that was in ‘good’ condition when he sent it, eBay has standards and this book is in poor condition.
