How do you outsmart and defeat individuals who are intent on destroying their own kind? This book will show you. Through interviews, first-hand accounts, historical research and rigorous surveying, author Louis Tafoya exposes the phenomenon of “Crab Rule” among Hispanic and Latino populations in the United States. Though his material is often alarming, Tafoya offers a clear-eyed and optimistic vision of how the members of a culture can confront and overcome the influence of its deceptive and exploitative “crabs” before irreversible damage is done.“Crab Rule not only holds accountable the infamous ‘elephant in the room,’ it is an informative read filled with personal experience, diverse perspectives, and optimism. It explores ‘la envidia,’ which has often prevented some from advancing among peers within their own culture, community. This point blank dialogue is necessary for the Latino community, as well as for those seeking to understand the Latino population, which continues to grow, assimilate, and become a target market in mainstream America.”Christy Martinez-Garcia, Latino Lubbock MagazineLouis Tafoya is a fourth-generation Hispanic American with a thirst for knowledge, a passion for people, and a zest for life. He is captivated by cultural issues- his vocations and avocations involve much travel and interaction. Whenever he is not fishing in northern New Mexico, he enjoys fishing for answers. He lives in Santa Fe with his wife, and has three children.Send comments to [email protected] Crab Rule - How Hispanics/Latinos Drag Each Other Down by Louis Tafoya
