This is the cover of my latest book.  You can read about it at No Boundaries: Transnational Latino Gangs and America Law Enforcement (University of Michigan Press: 2009).  You can also listen to a podcast about transnational Latino gangs here.  (Transcript is also available at the same location.)

A very nice article about the book, the problem, and the men and women involved written by Charles Donelan for the Santa Barbara Independent is here.

Order the book from University of Michigan Press or from Amazon.com here.

If you prefer, you can read the table of contents and an excerpt from No Boundaries at the Barnes & Noble site here.

Read a Dallas News review here, and an article in La Opinion (Spanish) here.

Before Post-Racial Politics, There Was Racial Politics

Before Post-Racial Politics, There Was Racial Politics

Got a Kindle?  You do?  Swell!  You can read my (as Greg Diaz) Washington pot-boiler novel 1980 Something:  A Currency of Anger, published ONLY on Kindle (by me) and available here.  It’s got violent crime, lurid sex, jaded ink-stained wrenches of journalism, wry humor, and racial politics of the nitty-gritty kind that existed before the post-racial political era.  A real bonfire of the inanities.
