{"product_id":"revolt-of-the-cockroach-people","title":"Revolt of the Cockroach People","description":"\u003cp\u003eBefore his mysterious disappearance and probable death in 1971, Oscar Zeta Acosta was famous as a Robin Hood Chicano lawyer and notorious as the real-life model for Hunter S. Thompson's \"Dr. Gonzo\" a fat, pugnacious attorney with a gargantuan appetite for food, drugs, and life on the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this exhilarating sequel to The Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo, Acosta takes us behind the front lines of the militant Chicano movement of the late sixties and early seventies, a movement he served both in the courtroom and on the barricades. Here are the brazen games of \"chicken\" Acosta played against the Anglo legal establishment; battles fought with bombs as well as writs; and a reluctant hero who faces danger not only from the police but from the vatos locos he champions. What emerges is at once an important political document of a genuine popular uprising and a revealing, hilarious, and moving personal saga.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003ePublished: 1989\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Vintage Books\u003cbr\u003ePages: 265\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 10: 0679722122\u003cbr\u003eISBN 13: 9780679722120\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oscar Zeta Acosta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51035776385290,"sku":"","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9780679722120.jpg?v=1744292217","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/revolt-of-the-cockroach-people","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
