Always Running received the Carl Sandburg Award for Nonfiction, Chicago Sun Times Book of the Year Award for Nonfiction, and named to the Choice Magazine's Outstanding Academic Books and the 1994 New York Public Library “Books for the Teen Age”.
In the tradition of Piri Thomas’s Down These Mean Streets and Claude Brown’s Manchild in the Promised Land, Always Running is already a classic of “relevant” literature in the contemporary classroom. This memoir is a dramatic account of growing up Chicano in Los Angeles in the late 1960s and early 70s.
