Pedro Guzman still missing

June, 18, 2007 · 1 Comment

Anyone headed for, or in Tijuana?

Pedro Guzman, 29, was born in Los Angeles and raised in Lancaster, California. He was serving time at Men’s Central Jail for a misdemeanor offense when he was deported to Tijuana May 10 or 11. Mr. Guzman is developmentally disabled, does not read or write English well, and knows no one in Tijuana.

He has about the mental ability of an 8-year old child and apparently does not know how to use a telephone.

Anyone with information about Mr. Guzman can call the ACLU/SC at (213) 977-9500.

He needs to go home. We’ll deal with the politics later.

The first general history of Mexico to be published in English in nearly thirty years, Richard Grabman's Gods, Gachupines and Gringos is one of the only Mexican histories ever written with the general reader in mind.

Gods, Gachupines and Gringos is written in a radically non-academic style, putting flesh and bones on the dusty figures of the past and shedding light on the common humanity of the Mexican people throughout history, often with suprising wit and humor.

Bosques' War is a translation of an oral history of the World War II experiences of Gilberto Bosques (1894 – 1997), who, as Mexico 's Consul General in Marseilles, France, used his country's neutrality in the early part of the war to protect and save tens of thousands of persecuted people. Grabman, as an introduction to the interview, provides a brief overview of Mexican diplomacy in the 1930s and 1940s to provide the reader with a historical perspective on Bosques' diplomatic activities, which continued with the Cuban missile crisis of the 1960s.

This book should fascinate those interested in World War II history, Mexican history or the well known feats of Raoul Wallenberg, who was specifically sent by the Swedish government to save people from the Nazis. Bosques did it all on his own and is finally being recognized for his effort.
