This is about a Mexican man trying to become a US citizen. He's studying. He has all these dreams starring people from real life American history. It makes fun of everything racist and really focuses on it. It's sort of a performance piece/stand up comedy so I can definitely see how it wouldn't be some people's cup of tea. You might kind of get the feeling like okay I get it, but it's short and pretty funny so I mostly enjoyed it.

Fun and thought-provoking.

Hysterical. I regret only that I didn't get to see this insane LSD trip performed live before me.

This book is the scripts of the Culture Clash plays "The Mission", "A Bowl of Beings", and "Radio Mambo". I saw their play "American Nights" at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and loved it so much that I bought tickets to see it a second time. I picked up this book to try and get more of the magic, but of course reading a script is a long way from seeing a performance. If you get a chance to see Culture Clash -- go. OSF commissioned the play as part of their American History Cycle.
