Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
Included in this very first published collection are the troupe's signature play, Latins Anonynous, which satirizes the rejection of one's cultural heritage and The La La Awards, in which Latino personalities suffer outlandish impersonations.

I am on the Debate and Forensics Team at my high school and I have seen "The LA LA Awards" performed many times. I love the characters and the script and I plan on performing this piece at a tournament soon. It ROCKS!

Latin's Anonymous, a collaborative project, was the beginning of Rick Najera's playwriting career culminating with THE PAIN OF THE MACHO, his most most recent book. In this are signs of the making of a genius in years to come-- from his Mexican-American-split-personality character to SEPERATE TURF, a sketch on the plight of Puerto Rican and Chicano actors vying for small roles. Rick Najera shows that he is a cunning satyrist, dealing with the world of duel identity. Recently, I had the oppurtunity to view this work live at the Victory Gardens Theatre in Chicago. It was as fresh yesterday as when he created it a few years ago. Insightful, concise, and brave. Rick Najera pulls no punches as he deconstructs the Latino experience in America. He takes stereotypes, sets them up, then knocks them down. From an ex-member of Menudo, to a border guard in PAIN OF THE MACHO, Rick Najera takes latinos and shows them to be complex human beings.
