A colorful man with a head of premature white curls and blue eyes, born and bred in a traditional Hispano village, Ike, as everyone knew him, came of age during the Vietnam War where he witnessed firsthand American imperialism against a developing nation. Once home, he recognized that the same forces were at work against the Hispano and Native American communities in \"el norte,\" under the rule of a despotic Rio Arriba County official. As a founding member of La Raza Unida Party he learned the organizing skills that would help topple a despot and prepare him for future battles: logging wars that pitted communities against corporate timber companies, the US Forest Service, and urban environmentalists; corruption and malfeasance by future county political machines; and tragedies within the criminal justice system. He was a man whose grounding in the cultural traditions of Hispano resiliency and resistance to the dominant paradigm prepared him for a life that left a lasting legacy. His story is the larger story of northern New Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 210\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 06, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52029363847469,"sku":"9798988897637","price":28.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/vBJonFy3va9798988897637.webp?v=1777467041","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/antonio-ike-devargas-norteno-warrior-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
