Once Upon a Time in... Occupied Aztl�n is an ambitious, roaring journey that pridefully centers not only the life of a Mejicano-Chicano familia, but the larger history of La Raza in an epic poem. It's a tale of highs and lows, the warmth of kinship, the coldness of poverty, the glowing delight of the quincea�era party, the brutal pain of the gang jump-in, the shame of ignorance, the pride through education, and the unconditional love of the family.

Elindiocopyright1985: - elindiocopyright1985 or simply, elindio, is a Chicano vallero from Sun Valley, Sur Califas. He is a visual artist and poet, producing work that is mostly a digital & multi-media mix-and-mashup of historical and popular images, centering Mexican & Chican@ iconography. Imagine Andy Warhol's pop style, meeting Emiliano Zapata's revolutionary ideology, with a sprinkle of Frida Kahlo's surrealism and a dash of Banksy's urban art technique. He works with serious subject matter while presenting it in a pop or light-hearted manner-a style elindio has dubbed, rascuache pop. Similarly, his debut poetry book, Once Upon a Time in... Occupied Aztlán, is an ambitious mashup of poetry, experimental literature, Chicano y Mejicano history & socio-politico commentary. It is published through Maíz Poppin' Press.
