It tells the story of Jimmy Welch who is confused, frustrated and unsure what to do when he is encouraged to reject and discriminate against Mexican immigrants. At first he joins in rejecting and disregarding them, but he has doubts which cause him to question his and the community's behavior. Becoming a teacher in an elementary school with a student body comprised primarily of children of Mexican farmworkers begins to change his attitudes and beliefs. He draws on his recent exposure to different cultures while traveling in Europe and begins to want to learn about the children and their families, who have a very different world view from the society around them. In this quest he travels to Mexico, gains knowledge of the culture and learns Spanish. Through a politically connected friend he learns of U.S. government complicity in the repression of farmworkers and sets out to act as an advocate for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14980003\"\u003eHarold DeArmond\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e White \u0026amp; Wilkinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781737300601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1737300605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-EDU\"\u003eEducation\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-EDU000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"White \u0026 Wilkinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42687846875373,"sku":"9781737300601","price":19.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_161e9c68-92ab-4307-b887-94f1fc143be9.jpg?v=1649783925","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-education-of-a-gringo-9781737300601","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
