Barrios Norteños

I've been off flitting around Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arkansas the last two weeks (don't ask), and I HIGHLY recommend dusting off that copy of Barrios Norteños.

Last year we had a job candidate give a presentation on labor in Saint Louis, and when I asked about the dynamic of Hispanic labor in the work force he said, with a straight face, that there were not enough Hispanics in Saint Louis to pay attention to. Dude.
