Sammy and Juliana in Hollywood by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

Fiction. Latino Studies. The "Hollywood" where Sammy Santos and Juliana Rios live is not the Coast one, the one with all the glitz and glitter. this Hollywood is a tough barrio at the edge of a small town in southern New Mexico. Sammy and his friends—members of the 1969 high school graduating class-face a world of racism, dress codes, war in Vietnam and barrio violence. A young adult novel Latino style—it's 1969 and Hollywood is a dirt-poor barrio in small-town America.
