A Choice Outstanding Academic Title, 2013. "Ernesto Galarza was a prescient analyst and powerful writer, a scholar, poet, and social activist whose work has profoundly influenced and interested so many. This book will be of use to activists who interrogate political economy and develop strategies that address inequities in class and race."--Patricia Zavella, author of I'm Neither Here nor There: Mexicans' Quotidian Struggles with Migration and Poverty "This outstanding compilation of the selected writings of Ernesto Galarza features an excellent introduction, despite the fact that relatively little is known about Galarza's private life other than what he reveals in his autobiography.  Highly Recommended."--Choice"Ibarra and Torres are to be commended for their efforts to provide students and scholars new access to the writings of Ernesto Galarza. Man on Fire serves as both an effective summation of his work and a starting point for detailed investigation of a scholar-activist whose output and activities have sadly fallen into undeserved obscurity." --Labor
