Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This collection is actually three books in one: 1) a collection of one-act plays by the famous farmwork theatre, El Teatro Campesino and its director, Luis Valdez, 2) one of the very first fully realized, full-length plays by Valdez alone, and 3) an original narrative poem by Luis Valdez.

As a teacher, the plays in Los Actos continue to be amongst the most effective literature for student participation and discussions about stereotypes, human rights, social struggle, and utopian thought.
Righteously funny, these plays were originally performed at the Delano Grape Fields and urged farmworkers to strike for fair pay and housing. Valdez worked closely with iconic Chicano leaders Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta.
Although the plays are written bilingually, the stage directions and dominantly English dialog make the play's themes easily accessible. I would urge all teachers interested in teaching about social justice to try these plays in class and urge readers in general to experience Los Actos. Readers will, hopefully, find them funny, moving, and educational. The plays help us understand a time and place, and non-Chicanos are introduced to important cultural themes and concepts, such as Atzlan.

This book tells you to never to judge a book by its cover. Also with "The Circle of the Sphere" when the pirest is talking to the people in a circle wre they're all safe. It's a really intresting book Spanish Americans. Luis Valdez "The Neo-Mayonist", believes that you should always keep an open mind. This book relfect his belief.
