From the Publisher
"The Other Side is a brilliant and breathtaking account of the new culture created by guerillas of El Salvador and performance artists of the feverish Tijuana, by young painters of graffiti in Los Angeles and rock'n'roll singers of Mexico City. It is a revealing, remarkable and timely book."--Ryszard Kapuscinski
"Here is the voice of the new Los Angeles."--Richard Rodriguez
