Mexican born author Luis Alberto Urrea is the son of a Mexican father and an American mother. Since he was a child, when his parents registered him as a U.S. citizen born abroad, he has had one foot in the U.S., and the other in Mexico. His work as an author reflects that duality. He is the author of The Devils Highway: A True Story, The Hummingbirds Daughter, Across the Wire: Life, Hard Times at the Mexican Border, and Into the Beautiful North. In this conversation with Maria Hinojosa, Urrea talks about his dual-culture life experiences, why he doesnt consider himself a border writer and getting to the big screen.

Por todos lados 'media' esta infectado con negatividad hacia "paisanos", la imagen de los llamados "latinos/hispanos" actualmente esta por los suelos, por lo tanto a la presente "sociedad americana" (que se supone esta integrada por fruto del 'melting pot') discrimina abiertamente a "brown people", people with an accent and pretty much accepted to live in a Xenophobic culture
Me da mucho gusto que Maria, una de las pocas personas que se enfocan al tema tomen parte en verdadero 'journalism'. J
