The chalupa rules
a Latino guide to gringolandia
by Mario Bósquez
New York City's first Chicano news anchorman teaches you the tools to succeed using a game of Mexican bingo.Mario Bosquez-New York City's first full-time Chicano television anchor-grew up in a cramped, three-room apartment where he and his family often survived on bags of donated groceries and clothing. He credits his success to hard work, determination, and his Chalupa Rules.In the game of Chalupa, or Mexican Bingo, Bosquez found powerful, inspirational imagery which, when combined with his family's timeless proverbs, provided him with the tools to rise above overwhelming poverty.Part autobiography, part instructional manual, The Chalupa Rules offers readers of diverse cultural backgrounds a universal message that they can survive and thrive in a society where the cards seem stacked against them.
