Synopsis
This collection brings together previously unpublished stories, essays, letters, poems, and a teleplay by Oscar "Zeta" Acosta, the influential Chicano attorney, activist, and writer. Written between the early 1960s and his disappearance in 1974, these works reveal Acosta's various identities: a leader grappling with identity, a self-proclaimed Robin Hood for Mexican Americans, and a wanderer who joined Hunter S. Thompson in his quest for the American Dream. The book offers a complete look at a key figure in the Chicano Movement, known as "the Brown Buffalo.
