Full Description
La Voz De M.A.Y.O: TATA RAMBO is based on the
oral history of Ramon Jaurigue, an orphan and WWII veteran who co-founded the
Mexican, American, Yaqui, and Others (M.A.Y.O.) organization, which successfully
lobbied the Tucson City Council to improve living and working conditions for
members of the Pascua Yaqui tribe. Thanks to this period of activism, the Yaquis
were federally recognized as one of the remaining Native American tribes.
Meanwhile Ramon's home life suffered as his focus was pulled from family to
wider community, and from domesticity to the adrenaline of the
campaign.
A resonant, neglected slice of
American history is told for the first time with art by J. GONZO, letter
art by BERNARDO BRICE, edited by CLAIRE NAPIER, and LA VOZ DE
M.A.Y.O boasts a script by HENRY BARAJAS the great-grandson of Ramon
Jaurigue, a.k.a. Tata Rambo.
