Ralph Cintron Libros

A multidisciplinary study of democratic politics that draws on ethnography, political theory, and rhetorical analysis to demonstrate how the rhetorics of democracy have become fetishized.

Focusing on the Latino community in Angelstown, the book explores how individuals navigate power dynamics and social order amidst adversity. Ralph Cintron presents an ethnographic study that highlights the community's resilience and self-respect, revealing how cultural expressions serve as a means of coping with disrespect. Through vivid language and imagery, the narrative paints a poignant picture of the Mexican-American experience, demonstrating how both residents and ethnographers interpret their realities through cultural lenses.
