Book Synopsis Barrio Bushido by : Benjamin Bac Sierra
Book excerpt: Fiction. Latino/Latina Studies. Set in the barrio of an unnamed California city in the early 1990s, BARRIO BUSHIDO narrates the story and fate of three adolescent Latinos who join forces to rob organized crime gangsters. Lobo (wolf) hunts, scheming for street stardom, manipulating his homeboys for his Machiavellian goals. Unlike Lobo, Toro (bull), an ex-Marine, does not plot; he charges full-force at the red cape of life. Santo, the saint of the gang, venerates homeboy, not Christian, ideals. A genuine cholo, he never admits that paranoia and pressure take him to the brink of madness.
