O knihe

In "My American History," C. Howard Diaz presents a compelling narrative that intertwines his life's journey with the broader history of America. Born to Mexican immigrants in 1937, Diaz shares his experiences growing up in South Central Los Angeles, working various jobs from a young age, and climbing the ladder of success without a formal education. His story is a testament to the power of perseverance, hard work, and the opportunities that America offers to those willing to seize them. Diaz passionately argues that success does not require a degree, challenging conventional wisdom and inspiring readers to redefine their understanding of achievement. Throughout the book, Diaz provides a candid account of his personal life, career, and the socio-political changes he witnessed over eight decades. He introduces the acronym CSPLD+UI, standing for Communist, Socialist, Progressive, Liberal, Democrat, plus Useful Idiots, to critique contemporary political movements and advocates for the importance of assimilation and American values. With a blend of personal anecdotes, historical insights, and bold opinions, "My American History" offers a unique perspective on what it means to be an American and calls for a return to the principles that made the nation great
