Mi América: The Evolution of an American Family is a history of the American West and those descendants of Spanish conquistadors and native people. In this book the author, Manuel Romero, documents the fortunes and blessings of the Romero/Madrid family decade by decade, through wars and social upheaval, from the Great Depression and into the new century. With humor and nostalgia, he tells the story of his most formative educational experiences and travels back in time to highlight his close-knit family, rich tradition, moving music, and power in community —a message of profound social bonds and strength in unsettled times.
