About the Author :

Review :
Unwanted and Not Included…is readable…the ideas and stories are written so they can be understood…[and] the book's direction toward indigenous people is helpful. Camacho has shed some light on the trials and tribulations of Mexicans living in America…[and] vividly paints a picture of how the U.S. sees race relations strictly from a black / white paradigm. Much of the material…may not be easy to hear but needs to be addressed. Camacho has written these stories from the heart and from everything he has experienced firsthand…These stories describe all of us who have gone through a system that makes us feel as if we don't belong… Unwanted and Not Included is a significant contribution to the small but growing field of Chicano critical thought. The themes he selects for discussion strike a strong cultural independent nerve from students that have been introduced to the usual traditional perception of Chicano cultural life. It's an intellectual, refreshing experience.
