Controversial Author Delivers "Radical" Message Regarding Latin Americans in Two Explosive Books

In these troubled times, it has become difficult to find solutions to the problems which are plaguing our society. One of the most enduring problems is the proportion of dropouts from our public high schools. The group which is at the forefront of this educational failure is Mexican-Americans. However, one author believes he has found the answer to this problem: Author and educator Ernesto Caravantes, M.S., postulates that the reason for Latino educational failure in the United States is the Latino culture itself.

This year, join the growing number of universities and civic groups which have invited the radical author and educator, Ernesto Caravantes, M.S., to speak across the country. In his two books, Clipping Their Own Wings, and The Mexican-American Mind, Mr. Caravantes explores the real reason Latinos are lagging behind other ethnic groups in educational achievement and unflinchingly declares Latinos accountable for their own lackluster performance. He contends that by clinging to certain cultural values that do not place education at the top of their priority lists, coupled with a stubborn resistance to learn English, or to assimilate, Latinos are preventing themselves from achieving any real world progress or living out the American Dream. These books, in the hands of the right people in both educational and legislative circles, can make a major contribution to calling attention to the real and ignored problem of educational complacency and apathy in the Hispanic culture.

"Clipping Their Own Wings is a must read for anyone who seeks a better understanding of the culture clash between Latinos and Anglo Americans. It provides a formula for Latinos to succeed in the U.S. and destroys some myths along the way. Ernesto Caravantes has performed a great public service." -Tom Hennessy, Long Beach Press-Telegram

The author's newest book, The Mexican-American Mind, contains a collection of controversial essays in which the author shows the inner workings and machinations of the most beleaguered ethnic group in American society. From personal relationships to modes of dress, each chapter presents a different "slice of life" of Mexican-Americans.

If you have not already purchased his first book, Clipping Their Own Wings, this is the perfect opportunity to familiarize yourself with the highly controversial topic that Caravantes so willingly writes about -- how the Latino culture undervalues education.
