Though a fictional story, Alex and the Hobo is written out of the life experiences of its author, José Inez (Joe) Taylor, and it realistically portrays a boy's coming-of-age as a Spanish-speaking man who must carve out an honorable place for himself in a class-stratified and Anglo-dominated society. In this innovative ethnography, anthropologist James Taggart collaborates with Joe Taylor to explore how Alex and the Hobo sprang from Taylor's life experiences and how it presents an insider's view of Mexicano culture and its constructions of manhood. They frame the story (included in its entirety) with chapters that discuss how it encapsulates notions that Taylor learned from the Chicano movement, the farmworkers' union, his community, his father, his mother, and his religion. Taggart gives the ethnography a solid theoretical underpinning by discussing how the story and Taylor's account of how he created it represent an act of resistance to the class system that Taylor perceives as destroying his native culture. 606 $aMexican Americans$zColorado$zAntonito$vBiography 606 $aMexican American authors$vBiography 606 $aPolitical activists$zColorado$zAntonito$vBiography 606 $aLabor movement$zColorado$zAntonito$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMexican Americans$xEthnic identity 606 $aMexican American children$vFiction 606 $aTramps$vFiction 607 $aAntonito (Colo.)$vBiography 615 0$aMexican Americans 615 0$aMexican American authors 615 0$aPolitical activists 615 0$aLabor movement$xHistory 615 0$aMexican Americans$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aMexican American children 615 0$aTramps 676 $a305.868/720788/0092 676 $aB 700 $aTaylor$b Jose?
