A colorful man with a head of premature white curls and blue eyes, born and bred in a traditional Hispano village, Ike, as everyone knew him, came of age during the Vietnam War where he witnessed firsthand American imperialism against a developing nation. Once home, he recognized that the same forces were at work against the Hispano and Native American communities in \"el norte,\" under the rule of a despotic Rio Arriba County official. As a founding member of La Raza Unida Party he learned the organizing skills that would help topple a despot and prepare him for future battles: logging wars that pitted communities against corporate timber companies, the US Forest Service, and urban environmentalists; corruption and malfeasance by future county political machines; and tragedies within the criminal justice system. He was a man whose grounding in the cultural traditions of Hispano resiliency and resistance to the dominant paradigm prepared him for a life that left a lasting legacy. His story is the larger story of northern New Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-18433419\"\u003eKay Mattthews\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nighthawk Press LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798988897637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO002030\"\u003eHispanic \u0026amp; Latino\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nighthawk Press LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46821307580555,"sku":"9798988897637","price":26.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_6393572c-2d23-4554-9f78-c3229b7101be.jpg?v=1777313555","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/antonio-ike-devargas-nortezo-warrior-9798988897637","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
