The book is semi-autobigraphical and reflects on a myriad of memories darting back to childhood. Now, at the age of 70 the author looks back at accomplishments, failures and memories. All of them were shaped by growing up Mexican in South Texas and these reflections and anecdotes now impact the world. Chicanadas is a derivative of the word Chicano. A Chicano is a American of Mexican descent who grew up in the United States during the revolutionary 60's and 70's. To be a Chicano meant we wanted to change the world. We sought and identity, but all we really wanted was to be accepted for what we were - Americans proud of our heritage. Sometimes we would ramble on about dreams we had - becoming lawyers, politicians, educators. In many ways, we were the first dreamers and the first to say - "Basta" Enough So RAMBLE ON WITH MY "CHICANADAS.

This book is about the amazing story of a US citizen who had to go to Mexico at age four (in the spring of 1958) due to family deportation from the USA and had to tough out extreme poverty; imagine being a partially blind child and having to attend grammar school in Mexico with no special help. He describes how he worked as a child selling vegetables; then, at age thirteen, his father dies, and he had to drop out of school to help the family survive. Together with his two younger brothers, he went to sell chocolate candy and gum in the streets of downtown Mexicali (a border town in the hot desert of Northwest Mexico (Baja California) until he had a chance to go to work in the USA, where he returned as a teenager in 1968, and went to work in farm labor to help his family in Mexico survive. He had to circumvent US child labor laws. Consequently, he had to face culture shock straight on. The Vietnam War was at its worst for US troops. The reappearance of racial conflicts in the USA was bad; black power, chicano power, and white power were common terms; the hippie movement was booming, and Martin L. Kings and Robert Kennedys assassination had just happened. The drug culture in the USA was thriving; antiwar demonstrations and riots were a common occurrence; Richard Nixon was coming into power; and the Apollo moon project was making headlines. In this narrative, he shares coping techniques for dealing with stress, hopelessness, and adversity. He suggests that, by connecting with people, he achieved personal success and shares his experiences in seeking mentors, joining events, meeting change agents (community workers, social workers, teachers, and counselors)and joining social movements. Jesse joined student organizations and the independent living movement and learned how to create opportunities that helped him rise from extreme poverty in a Northwest city of Mexico (Mexicali) to being a middle-class citizen in the USA (California) simply by following his mentors leads, by accepting peoples help, and by facing adversity straight on. This is a US citizen who brought back Mexican cultural values and applied them in his work as a vocational rehabilitation counselor in the USA. A very effective counselor, his mission in life is to help others in similar circumstances to succeed, to help family persevere, to say no to drugs or other bad influences, and to encourage others to carry on until the end of the fast train trip. Thats his philosophy of life. Here he shares a few examples of his counseling work, in hopes that these experiences and advice will help more people in similar circumstances to become achievers, not social welfaredependent individuals.

Baja California es un centro de aprendizaje y liderazgo en la eduación superior. Ensenada, por ejemplo, cuenta con la mayor concentración de científicos y estudiantes de ciencias en toda América Latina, y la entidad alberga diversas instituciones de eduación superior. Estas condiciones convierten a Baja California en un sitio ideal para un estudio sobre liderazgo en este nivel educativo, con implicaciones en los ambitos estatal, nacional e internacional. En este sentido, Líderes de la educación superior en Baja California. Relatos de vida e identidades profesionales representa un aporte significativo en diversos sentidos. Utiliza un método innovador de investigación narrativa para estudiar el liderazgo porque expresa las voces de los participantes y traza sus opiniones sobre la formación del liderazgo. Es un documento histórico y original que pueden utilizar otros investigadores para examinar conceptos teóricos asociados al liderazgo. Y realiza un aporte definitivo al campo del liderazgo al identificar los factores formativos que marcaron la pauta en la trayectoria profesional de ocho líderes de la educación superior en dicho estado. Pero este libro va más allá de la autobiografía para depender exclusivamente de las palabras de los participantes. Por tal motivo, el lector podrá apreciar que este no es un tratado de metodología ni un ensayo trascendente sobre las identidades profesionales y el liderazgo. Es lo que es, o lo que pretende ser: un texto reflexivo y emocional, inspirador por momentos, retador casi siempre. Usted lo juzgará.
