New York Daily News reporter Juan Gonzalez takes as his beat the streets and projects of America’s inner cities and the barrios across its southern borders. In these vivid dispatches he reports from the frontline of a social crisis—inside New York and Los Angeles, across the Rio Grande to Mexico’s maquiladoras, through to Haiti, Honduras and Cuba.
“Compassionate and impassioned.”—The San Francisco Bay Guardian
“Gonzalez gives voice to those whose views are neither often heard nor well understood … his stories need to be told.”—New York Times Book Review
“Reading Roll Down Your Window is like being shoved into a cold, bracing shower … Gonzalez challenges everyone to wake up and smell the misinformation.”—LA Weekly
“The best of American journalism.”—Financial Times
“These vignettes from the political frontline make most contemporary reportage look utterly complacent … Unapologetically passionate, committed journalism.”—Time Out
“This book deserves un abrazo grande”—Pete Hamill
