The new Republic of California is forcing Marisol, a Mexicana woman, to marry a white man to create a homogenous race in the new nation. She had until she was twenty-three to find her own match before Combination Nation(R) made the match for her, and now she has to give her body to a man who treats her like property. But Marisol chooses instead to spend her time with a contaminado goatherd and his political-minded punk band who share and respect her cultural identity. With them, she reclaims her body, her language, and her freedom.
Michelle Cruz Gonzales is a punk writer who writes about the intersections between race, class, and gender. Her memoir The Spitboy Rule: Tales of a Xicana in a Female Punk Band (PM Press) documents her experiences traveling with Spitboy as the drummer, one of the primary lyricists, and the one woman of color. Gonzales holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Mills College and has been on the English faculty at Las Positas College since 2005. She lives with her marido, J.Iné s, in Oakland, California.
