ESSAY ON: Richard Rodriguez's "Complexion"

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: 3 pages in length. Much of what Richard Rodriguez writes about is the quest for ethnic assimilation, noting that the Hispanic community is sorely in need of contemporary ethnic guides to lead them through their issues of cultural assimilation. To his great dismay, it is with great consternation that he realizes how even his own family lacks the physical features required to be representative of their own ethnic population, with the vast majority of them sporting features such as deeply olive or light skin tone that, unlike his own, tans deeply or burns and peels after a day in the sun and often gets them mistaken for European, Polynesian or "gringo" but never Mexican. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
