The item description CLEARLY states that the foreword was written by Cisneros. Nowhere does it say that she is the author. Also, the picture of the cover CLEARLY states the same thing. Plus, you don't request a refund from amazon by posting a complaint in the review section. Geez.

Reviewer: Delia C. Perez
The book, "The Future is Mestizo" is NOT written BY Sandra Cisneros. Thats is false advertisement!!! The book is written by some biased priest, who has a good idea, however, Sandra Cisneros did not write the book. She wrote the foreword.
Please contact me for a FULL refund and I will send the book back.
Thank you,

The Reverend Father Elizondo presents his native San Antonio as a vibrant bilingual and multicultural city in central Texas on the frontier of the United States and Mexico. He recalls the history of New Spain and how Americans from the east viewed the northern lands of Mexico. From this divide comes a new mestizo, mix, as the Reverend Elizondo poignantly conveys Jesus's life as that of mestizo, a Jew whose very birth was questioned by his mother's people. Our world's history, especially European, is a mixture of people, or, loosely used, mestizo, and so will be our world's future the Reverend Elizondo brilliantly reminds the reader.
