Description

Roque's Corner is an everyman's story about the underside of Santa Fe, one of the wealthiest and most visited cities in the Southwest and the art capital of the region. While many know this side of Santa Fe, they do not know the other side which is the Hispano/Chicano story. This book tells this story through the eyes of a remarkable individual, Roque García. Raised in Santa Fe by poor working class parents like many other Hispanos, Roque's story parallels the rise of Santa Fe to prominence, but reveals the key importance of working class Chicanos to this rise. A pioneer in the Chicano Movement in Santa Fe (about which little has been published), García worked in the land grant movement with Reies López Tijerina and participated in the historic Poor People's Campaign in Washington D.C. in 1968. As a social worker, community leader, and owner of his own food cart on the Santa Fe plaza, Roque García has witnessed the story of Santa Fe in the 20th century and now into the new millennium, but from his underdog position and perspective. He literally has seen much of this from his downtown corner where he sells his famous carnitas. Everyone in Santa Fe knows Roque and Roque knows everyone. He is a popular historian of Santa Fe through his memories. Based heavily on oral history to capture's Roque's narrative, as well as key primary sources, this book is a popular biography of a remarkable Santa Fean and Chicano.
