![]() ![]() Sure as things got easier temptation to “experiment” became stronger, there were gangs and gangsters, even a lot of wannabes, but it was never as severe as what author Robert Renteria depicts in his latest book Mi Barrio. We were immigrants – the wetbacks that everybody talked about – and our main concern was how we were going to survive from one moment to the next. The truth is we never had to walk the streets where people where getting high in front of us or pulling guns out to kill each other in the middle of our barrio. There were definitely tough times in my upbringing, as most of you already know, mainly because of what we didn’t have, not really because of violence or drugs, although some of those factors did play a role.
